Montana Rifle Company

[6mm Remington]

HOME

Montana Rifle Company is the premium manufacturer of American-made hunting rifles built from the action out in Memphis, MI.

Montana Rifle Company is back after being purchased by Grace Engineering Crop in Michigan. It looks like the rifles are outstanding with a few improvements over the previous Model 70 / Mauser 98 action. The rifles also come with a 1/2" accuracy guarantee which says a lot about the quaility of the construction on a rifle made here in the USA by talented local workers.

I was going to purchase a rifle from the old MRC before they went under. The product they are turning out now looks to be so much better. I don't need another rifle but I am drooling with the prospect of owning one of their rifles. Looks like they are chambering the 280AI which is just the cats meow. Now if we can get them to chamber a 6mm Remington with a 1-8 twist and you'd have something as good or better ballistically than the 6mm Creedmoor.

1:8 twist should be the standard for today’s 6mm caliber rifles.

Montana sure makes a great rifle. They are easy on the eyes and they are shooters. Mtemilyhunter on here has three of them, 2 338 RUM and a 28 Nosler.
He shoots the 338 RUM to 2800+ yards.

Excellent! I was interested in one MRC rifle, a 30-06, years ago. It was on the used rack at a gun store here in town.

I didn't buy it because it felt so heavy and a little "clunky" or poorly balanced, compared to the 30-06 Rem 700 CDL that I did purchase, from that same shop. Both were there at the same time and the Remington just handled so much better.

I hope that the new MRC's are outstanding! I really wanted to like the only one I ever handled.

I shot a fair number of custom builds that were built around Montana actions. They worked well in the rifles I shot. No doubt these will be well worth owning.
