Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle

The only thing missing is compatibility with a HNT 26

Maybe time for a folding or takedown rokstok to be designed?

Seriously though.... If this mrc was put into a folding/takedown rokstok... I would absolutely sell my tikkas and buy at least 2

It’s a ways away from more/different models. I imagine it will depend on whether the market responds favorably to a company actually trying to do better, versus just copying what everyone else is doing.

That will depend on marketing. The majority of hunters are dumb to this thing, just like the majority of people. Tell people they need it with a strong marketing campaign and they will come to your better mouse trap.

Right. At the proposed price point, the customer base would be people currently buying the erector set "custom" rifles. I never understood what makes those guys tick, so I'm not sure if something like this will pull them over the fence. Your average eastern corn pile hunter probably won't buy many of them.

If the action will hold it without too much work, I'd work in a .375 h&h option. The model 70 .375's have basically been sold out since 2020 and that's the only affordable off the shelf CRF .375 left on the market as far as I know, and it's got the new MOA trigger. The lower end brit and German express guns start at around $8k and go up sharply from there. Might be room to squeeze in. I know those guys on africahunting seem to gobble up $2,500 used rifles.

Ruger still makes the M77 in 375 ruger. In stock all over the place it looks like.

This is great news. Always nice to have new options, if done right

Instead of asking a ton of questions...

1) What's the test procedure involve?

2) Can someone provide a design summary on function, robustness, and safety?
