Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
I'm not sure a poll is even needed since everyone is pretty vocal on what they want. Fear not my dudes, we pay attention! Ryan, Jake, and Form's insight has been a huge asset as well. The Creeds are the priorities for the release. 6 and 22 are taking build priority, but doing most of the... -
Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
Building our own is always possible, but it's a limited use application. There would have to be some hefty sales projections to even consider the tooling cost. We're also trying to stay away from proprietary mags from a customer experience aspect. AICS can be found nearly anywhere if a... -
Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
3.15" is for the internal box. 308/Creed size rifles will be shipping with a flush 3 round poly, and 5 rnd metal mags (MDT). The poly is 2.85" and the metal are non-binders so they stretch to 2.96". Sorry for the confusion. Finding a 223 DBM with appropriate COAL has proven difficult. Once... -
Name this rifle!
Yeah, the Memphis thing throws a lot of people off. How about Lead Farmer or "FR" for Full Retard? Love it, but the fun police will veto it... Long story, but yes. Hey, I resemble this remark! Growing up in Kansas, I dig it (meadowlark is the KS state bird too). Probably not mean enough... -

As Form said, it'll be done correctly for the application. The hard part on my end is feeding those dinky little things :cool: I'm not sure if everyone knows, but our standard short action has a 3.15"mag box. Things are progressing on the project, sample bolt knobs heading out to Form for... -

There's only going to be one color/pattern available from what I understand. I leave the decoration decisions to the marketing department. I'm waiting on my samples from NIC to find the right black for the Cerakote... Gotta make Henry proud! -
Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
That one's above my pay grade, but I'll run it up the chain. I'll pose the question of purchasing extra barrels as well while I'm at it. Seekins' price seems fair (even at $550) -
Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
As others have mentioned. There's no advantage to the sporter stock vs RokStok. They're just different tools for different jobs. As a side note- Remember the flak I mentioned when the traditionalist saw the pic rail? Can you imagine the hate if I showed up to DSC or SCI with a RokStoked... -

A little more on 2) The design goal here was to make a modern version of the pre-64 M70. The combination of CRF, 3 pos shroud mounted safety, and bomb-proof simple trigger system is what helped earn it's moniker "The Rifleman's Rifle". That sounds like some slick bs marketing line, but its the... -

1) Yes, sort of on the collar. The interior barrel collar is abbreviated by both bolt raceways as opposed to just the extractor side lug. The first step of our receiver machining is punching a hole through Ø2" bar and broaching the bolt bore/raceways clear through. This gives us datums to... -

Yessir! We'll have some at Western Hunt Expo in Salt Lake in February. Hopefully by then it will actually be in production. I've also got a few .375 H&H to get done and ready for Dallas Safari Club Atlanta and SCI Nashville. -
Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
Holy **** you guys get sidetracked in a hurry- Sorry to leave you hanging, and I'll ASSume I understand the questions. 1) Testing procedure we've established so far (subject to additions): 101 round cycle test with the mags that are shipping with the gun. -17 cycles of the 3 round mag, 10... -
Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle
The new receiver uses a dovetail left lug as well. The key difference between the old and new is how it's done- The old receivers and bolts were investment castings. Every pair had to be made to fit on the bench. Very dependent on the skill of the 'smith and the "luck of the draw" as you... -

We make our barrels in house. Needless to say, we're all pretty stoked about this project. It's been brewing for quite some time! -Ian -
Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation
Absolutely. New calibers are always being added to the tooling and product line list. We're trying to achieve a mix of relevant new and classic calibers that makes sense from an ROI stand point, but I don't see us ever offering custom calibers. The production tooling is just too expensive... -

Stealthgoat- that is a CDI M70 unit. We got quite a few with the purchase of the old company. They were shipped unassembled, and for the life of me I can't locate the release paddles and springs. They may be hiding in a pallet of the old MRC tactical stocks, but I haven't had the chance or need... -

Keep in mind, the 2022 receiver isn't an exact clone of the M70- Due to the modular recoil lug the shelf at the forward action screw is .070" deeper/lower than a standard M70 inlet. Everything else is the same. Short/Long action bottom metal "should" be common, but I can't guarantee without... -

It's probably going to be early/mid next year before we get to making lefties. They're pretty high up on the priority list, but still a lot of other projects to finish before then. -
Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation
Not only are the tolerances super tight, but the receiver threads are threadmilled so they're timed. I can swap barrels between 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 rifles, and not only will it headspace correctly, but the barrel engraving will also clock to the same position within a degree or so once... -

@walk2112- trust me, I'm pushing for it lol. After talking with Jake in Utah and him showing me the stock, it'll happen at some point- Too much going on here right now keeping QC up and rolling out the long actions to divert the resources right now.
