Stunning New F-TR Rifle for James Crofts
A past F-TR National Champion, James “Jimmy” Crofts is one of America’s top F-Class competitors. And now this F-TR ace has a stunning new rifle in his arsenal. AccurateShooter Forum member CigarCop, head honcho of KW Precision LLC, recently completed a new F-TR rig for Crofts. This handsome, state-of-the-art rifle features top-tier components: Borden action, twin Brux barrels, Cerus RifleWorks F-TR Stock, and Jewell trigger, all resting on a wide-base Phoenix Bipod.

Have a good look at these photos below. Yes, envy is the appropriate reaction. With the smooth operation of the Borden action and the predictable accuracy of Brux barrels, we bet James’s new rig will shoot as good as it looks.
CigarCop actually chambered two barrels for James, with different fluting patterns — conventional linear flutes for one tube, and lines of staggered ovals for the other. Finished length for both barrels is 30″. Yes it looks cool, but the fluting was done mainly to save weight with the 30″-long lengths. CigarCop tells us the complete rifle, without scope and rings, weighs just under 15 pounds. Max allowed weight for an F-TR rifle, with scope, is 18.18 pounds (8.25 kg).

This is the type of craftsmanship that Keith produces each and every time!
Keith is a perfectionist, and it shows in his work! And, he treats your equipment as if it were his own.
Thanks Paul!
As an ex-first class machinest I have a great appreciation for quality metal work. This is work of cutting-edge technology.
The only thing I would add is the the present desire for barrel fluting is totally unecessary. Keep the barrel as it is made without this extra machining. It does nothing for accuracy, and if not done properly will detract from good shooting.
Keith takes form and function to the highest levels. Congratulations to the builder and to the owner.
