Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle

[waspocrew]

Anyways - seems like a nice rifle. Will be interesting to hear reports on them in the future.

Doesn’t sound like anything I would be interested in buying, but will enjoy reading about everyone’s experiences with them.

Good luck.

I will take mine in 270 fast twist with the standard stock in laminated timber

Yes they are.

A point that does get lost in the “short fat” cartridge realm, is that long, skinny, and tapered cartridges feed like they have eyes.

You just confirmed exactly what I said. The only way you’re getting that velocity with 6 creed is with hot hand loads. Factory ammo numbers are well known and as I said, 2850 is very generous for 108 ELDM.

What 22 Creedmoor rifles “throat” are you having to clean every 75-100 rounds? My 22 Creedmoor Tikka is nearing 1,000 rounds and has never been cleaned. First 300 rounds were spicy hand loads. Last 700 have been factory.

Probably a topic for a different thread.

Every overbore cartridge throat is going to grab carbon ring and start choking freebore diameter. I've tried the no cleaning method. It doesn't work for me. 5 barrels, all alpha reamers or well specd jgs. After 250/300 rounds I'm pulling powder to keep velocity where it was at by 150 and load dev is done, I've had to continue pulling powder asife goes on. Happened with 22gt, 22cm, and 3x 6cm barrels. I clean the chamber mouth and first 6" of barrel, and go back to shooting. Takes 3-5 rounds to foul back to normal velocity. But doing this I get no velocity creep. Idk, I shoot a lot, my 22cm barrel is 3 months old I'm near 600 rounds. Also the 3x 6cm barrels all over 400 Rd ct and they were shipped with the 22cm barrel. I shoot my rifles a lot. I put almost everything over the chrono unless hunting or training, and I can even do it training most often. When velocity starts to climb, it's time to clean the throat. I've never had a rifle that I can run over 400 rds and keep the same velocity, accept a 28in 65cm match rifle that's running very low psi loads.

Are those pretty accurate velocity numbers in your experience? I seem to recall seeing closer to 2950 on the 6 creed in an 18” but don’t own one. I haven’t looked too heavily into the 22 creed

I'm only getting 2840 from factory 108s out of my 20" 6CM.

Seems like it’s kind of all over the place between handloads and factory ammo. I’d be handloading and not afraid to step on it a little bit

Sure be nice to see 6mm Remington and 280AI included in the chamberings.

I think the reason the cartridge list is what it is, because they will need readily available factory ammo that shoots decent. In order to shoot the guns before they ship. And they will most likely provide the info on the ammo they shot in your gun.

I will be getting one in 22 Creed. Mostly so I quit looking at my grandfathers pre 64 '06 as a "donner" rifle!

I love the whole concept of this gun. Particularly using the CRF action AND having a built in pic rail. Why in the hell do companies still build actions, that you have to bolt an "adapter" to the receiver, in order to mount rings? Mo screws= mo problems.
Where and when can I order my next last rifle ever?!

So, is everyone going to switch from pimping Tikkas to pimping this Montana rifle? Hopefully, that means there will be some good deals on Tikkas. I'll stick with them. It's amazing how fast Tikka went from being the perfect rifle to not even being a good deal. Lol.

Just throwing this out there for Roksliders to take advantage of, Kinport Peak Rifles will cut/thread/crown for $120, and he tries to do a threading day every week or 2 so you usually get them back in a timely manner. Great guy to deal with. Carry on!

yeah, I’d not be paying anyone $300+ for a chop and thread. Kampfeld was $110 in Feb ‘23 when I had him do a factory tikka tube. ADCO is $140 and will add a shoulder for $20 more.

Back on topic though.. props to MRC for doing something cool, different, hopefully better.

Yup. Benchmark did a couple for me @$185

Now that Form is part owner of S2H/Rokstock/Rokskope/RokRifle, I'm hoping that his legacy of unbiased, fact based reviews are not gone. His arguments so far in this thread against the very system he helped promote are a bit dubious and sound more like marketeer-speak than I've ever read from him.

I'm also looking forward to great deals on used Tikkas that all of a sudden don't feed reliably
