Nosler M48 Liberty vs. Montana Rifle Company X3

[Cruiser]

If you were going to purchase one in .270 Winchester, which would it be and why?

Thanks!

Nosler. I've seen too much variation in quality in the MRC rifles. The Noslers that I have looked at were nicely finished and I think have a higher level of QC.

I have nothing bad to say about my M48 Outfitter.

I have a Nosler M48 and a bergara. Both great guns but the bergara outshoots the nosler easily and is way less expensive. Both customer services are outstanding as well.

From what I've seen, the Nosler M48 is a decent rifle that shoots their factory ammo very nicely. I can't speak to the Montana X3, no experience with them.

Something to note... If you are not a fan of recoil the M48 is going to kick a little more than the X3 with the integrated directional muzzle brake. You'd have some gunsmithing to do to get a brake on the Nosler as the barrel is not threaded. Guys have done it on those rigs though and love them.

I have a nosler m48 in 6.5 284 with a muzzle break I added. I love it. Great gun.

Nosler M48. Though I can’t say anything about the MRC, I do like my M48 Liberty a lot. Definitely not light but a very nice rifle to shoot. Mine’s a 7mm Rem. So you would be a little lighter.

The Nosler rifles are great. I’d recommend it over the MRC rifles.

I have a Montana X2 in 6.5-284 took me a year to get it after ordering.i have had the rifle for 2 years now. When it arrived before I even shot it wasn’t feeding right so I sent it back on my dime. I got it back they said the magazine was bent and in their crooked. I’m still getting feeding issues and seems to me like I have a little creep in the trigger so I’m going to take it to a local gunsmith and have him work on it don’t feel like spending another $40-50 to send it back and it not being fixed again. Other than that it shoots good and I like the rifle just experienced some bad luck I think.

Looking into purchasing one chambered in 7MM Mag. You're pretty satisfied with yours? How's the trigger on it?

I still use it and I like it. The mag box is kinda short if you reload. There is not a lot of aftermarket stuff available for it like prefits or stocks. Trigger is good. It’s a Timney set at two and a half pounds. I cut the barrel to 20” and threaded it for a suppressor.
