Hey there, good question. I was looking for a very light, yet well-built hunting rifle. I read about Melvin Forbes’ New Ultra Light Arms (and it being sold to Wilson Combat) and as I read up and learned about the NULA rifle, I learned about the Fieldcraft, which, other than the stock, is derived from the NULA rifle with a bedded barrel instead of free float. So I looked for a Fieldcraft and found a decent deal on one and pulled the trigger. I’ve since taken an interest in the Kimber Montana (and Mountain Ascent). Those stocks use Kevlar and are crazy light as well. I think if the FC was still in production I would have still bought one but in the 308 and at a lower price! Haha.
