Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle

[Formidilosus]

Nitrided CroMoly would make a nice coastal use gun, particularly if all screws and small parts were nitrided and the bolt body was left bare stainless. Probably hoping for too much there though.

I missed that, and it is one of the aspects. Actions and if possible barrels will be nitrided.

Rokslide has cost me money and saved me money. Here we go again.

This WILL be my hunting rifle!

more accurately:

These WILL be my hunting rifles!

I'll buy your "old" ones.

Count me in, this sounds "worth it."

 

[bnsafe]

well crap, now I gotta save

6cm in a wood rokstock, yes please

I don’t “need” a new rifle, but I really like the sound of this. My initial thought is 308. I need to go read the other thread.

Anticipated rifle weight?

Will there be a preorder?

Definitely interested, but also curious on the value vs a tikka that’s cut/threaded and has a rokstok (say $1600ish). What kind of hunter would benefit from the extra cost vs just staying with a tikka?

Things:
- One thing off the bat would be the action itself - integral rail, CRF style,. So more in line with a lower end "custom" action of sorts.
- Add a custom bolt handle on there as well.
- Magazine setup and extra mag

A lot of that cost would come down to Labor:
- design/development/engineering to product.
- time and care in production - more focus on precision?
- bedding I would assume.
- Function testing/cycling/mags.
- Shooting/group testing like a gunsmith might provide.

That's just the stuff that comes to my mind when weighing doing a chopped tikka (currentl plan of mine) vs this route.

I’m always interested when good companies put their names behind something and people who shoot actually endorse it. But if this is a way to get a wood rokstok and a decent action with everything ready to go out the gate, I’m in.

I’ve personally had “custom” guns that were really just assembled parts of my choosing. And weren’t any better shooters than my tikkas. As much as I get the itch to tinker, I just want shit that works day one.
