Montana Rifle Company Junction 308Win Field Evaluation

Are these 90 degree throw?

As I replied to in the MRC/S2H project thread-

“They are the standard Pre 64 M70 throw, which IIRC is 90°. Bolt contact while cycling has not been an issue with how we teach bolt manipulation”.

6cm barrel. Three more loads. As above, there was no load “work up” done. Just find book max, dump powder, seat boattail of bullet to neck shoulder junction on case, check to make sure the bullet isn’t touching the lands.

The 95gr TMK was also trued at 960 yards. Guessed at 3,000fps MV, and elevation was spot on.




UPDATE: Nov 8.

Which round did you end up using for this hunt?

Edit: never mind, I saw a later post that stated 95 gr TMK.

Looking forward to more of these videos, sure helps explain to people what 'spotting your hits/misses' means.

I’m totally new here and read this entire thread. Don’t understand a lot of it but am very impressed with the level of testing and the honesty, both on your part and MRC’s part.

That reticle in the minox is legit.

Yes it is. It’s the best medium to long range reticle on the market, and works at low power and close range as well.

Does that include scopes with a power throw lever like Night Force? I stopped purchasing receivers with 90 degree bolt throw because they can hit the power throw lever. I'd be all over this receiver if it had less than a 90 degree throw.

Haven’t used a NF with throw lever on this gun. I don’t generally use throw levers at all except for LPVO’s.

Ifn you usn the lever alla time, maybe you shouldn’t
