Montana Rifle Company factory visit

What type of crown are they using on their barrels?
What I liked about the old MRC was the customization you could do. On mine I had the barrel shortened to 22”, added a barrel swivel post and had it ceracoated. I wish I would have added a muzzle break so my daughter could shoot it. The full recoil of the .416 Rigby is a little much for her.
 
Mark, I spent about a half hour at MRC's booth in Nashville. Their rifles looked to be perfect for the mid-priced ranged shopper. What intrigued me most was their expectations / plans to have a 404 Jeffery next year. They were talking about that caliber being available for $3,600 to $3,800. That was with nice looking wood.

I could be very interested in a 400J model! Exciting
 
I spent some time with them in Nashville. Seemed like great guys willing to answer any questions. Nice rifles, but I found the actions a little sticky and rough. I only handled the .375 (I think that's what it was) and the barreled action they had out on the table. Hope they do well. We can always use another quality DG rifle.
 
Good Morning, AH member Mark Ouellette and I were invited to visit the MRC headquarters this morning by lead design engineer Ian.

The rifles were very impressive on every level. The first DG models are still in development. And not entirely finished. For example I handled the Highline in 7 PRC and was very impressed with the action smoothness, trigger, overall fit and finish. And now have to have one.

So my first question was. When the new .375H&H is finished, will it have that smooth action? Ian says the DG models will be smoothed out before final release and will cycle as smoothly as the Highline which is also CRF action

IMHO these rifles will be a great rifle at a very affordable price. Filling the middle priced niche nicely.

When I get my MRC highline I will review it.

Beautiful rifles
The trigger is reminiscent of the old Winchester model 70. Simplicity at its finest and can be easily adjusted even by a ham fisted gorilla.
What's not to like. If'n it shoots as good as it looks that will be an added bonus.
What prices are we talking. Your mid range night be my high end but then again I'm a cheap skate.
