It was pretty popular. I have a #1B from 1976, and I think the 1A was also in there. Maybe one of the stainless models, too.

Yep, they did a stainless 1B with a laminate stock.


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I have a bicentennial 'B' specimen as well. I need to play with it more this summer.

Yes, there are a few "V"s out there, but they're not common and were only made a couple of years on the early 1980's.

There were no 1S in 243. In prefixed rifles there was 1A, 1B, K1B, AB(also rare) and RSI.
In the non-prefix rifles, there were lots of possibilities.

The commonly catalogued were
1a
1b
1ah
1rsi
1v. I believe though I've always seen more in 6mm

The interesting thing about #1s is there are a lot of odd limited runs out there. I am also not including the variations of the above that have stainless metal and / or laminated stocks

No you buy it. If'n I was gonna buy it, I wouldn't tell everyone about it grin

If I can't get my .300 Weatherby shooting acceptably well, I'm eyeing a Montana 1999 in .28 Nosler...

Patrick I am given to understand quality control has radically improved the last few years. I dealt with them before that and it was a disaster, so I have retained the sour taste in my mouth.

Over in Hunting Rifles they did a group buy on a .260. Seems like most of the guys loved them out of the box and some had trouble, but they say Montana made them right.

The Nosler 48 has a Pac-nor barrel, and they aren't that much more expensive.

Patrick...I was mistaken I thought you meant a Kimber Montana...

Montana Rifle Company guns never gave us a lick of trouble...Kimbers OTOH.....


Might as well phone for a call tag when you have the customer fill out the 4473...we ended up sending exactly 100% of them back in for 'issues'....

Kimber is who I meant Ive heard quality control improvement on...


sorry...my bad! blush

oh, that's very different smirk

Yeah my Kimber Montana 7mm-08 had a POS for a barrel. A trip to Pac-nor fixt that problem, quite nicely smile
