I think it's the same thing as happened recently with Colt production of AR rifles. You have a military order that requires your available production capacity. It's a sure thing for a large number of guns. You devote all available production to fill that order. Then go back to fulfilling civilian orders. Civilian arms distributors cannot match the surity or numbers of a military order.
(There are civilian guns in the distributor-wholesale-retail dealer pipe line, hence note to have your deal contact authorized distributors line.)
I'm not always up on such things so my apologies if this is old news. I'm just really surprised that such a quality product gets put on the back burner. I wouldn't buy one due to the lack of a locking bolt handle, but I've shot a couple and handled a bunch and I certainly give praise where it's due and the Fieldcraft is a quality rifle for sure.
I doubt they are selling in sufficient volume. There’s a @moa Tupperware T/C Compass available for under $300. It is unquestionably the case that the Barrett is a far better rifle, but, really, how good does a deer rifle have to be? That old chestnut “more deer have been taken with a 30-30 than...” says a lot. It says a deer rifle at 3 MOA is fine. So, if a manufacturer wants to make margin on a hunting rifle it needs to trade on something else: tradition, prestige, nice furniture etc. I doubt that Barrett has enough name recognition among the general population to generate the additional margin.
I have no doubt the Fieldcraft is worth the money but it’s a tough market segment to break into and it wouldn’t surprise me if it just didn’t generate the volumes their business plan was based on.
