Jeff of MRC sales sent me a PDF of their retail price sheet which I have been trying to post but not sure how. Cut and paste just gets an unreadable list. Anyhow, here is a summation. MSRP is listed so street price is anybody's guess. American Standard Series - wood stocked Chrome moly rifles are MSRP of $999 Stainless steel rifles are MSRP of $1049 All calibers available in both steels AND in both right and left hand. I.e., CM LH, CM RH, SS LH, SS RH. .243 Win .257 Roberts 260 Rem 7-08 .308 Win .338 Fed 270 WSM 7mm WSM 300 WSM 325 WSM 25-06 270 280 .30-06 .264 Win Mag 7mm RM 300 Win Mab .338 Win Mag Extreme Weather series (don't know what stock will be on it but assume a synthetic.) Stainless is MSRP of $1099 The other one (it doesn't really state what finish) is MSRP of $1049 Same list of all calibers as above except for now this is NOT available in Left hand Dangerous Game Rifle-PH (no details on what this really entails but from the calibers and price one assumes this is a BIG action with some serious upgrades) Chrome/moly MSRP $2399 Stainless MSRP $2499 Right Hand only Calibers in both finishes: 338 Lapua 378 Weatherby .416 Rigby 460 Weatherby .505 Gibbs (that .505 Gibbs should make the dink shooters real happy  )

PS - As someone noted on my thread on the left hand rifles, not sure if the demand on these will be enough to really get some stocking dealers, especially the left handed models. But even if they only make a few, the internet is your friend in finding one. Hopefully places like Bud's or another large internet dealer will have a decent selection.
Having watched MRC grow from a gleam in someone's eye a dozen years ago to producing full production rifles today, I sincerely wish them all the luck in the world in this endeavor.
More choices are good.

Are there any pics of these rifles anywhere? I looked on thier website and they are either not there or I am not smart enough to find them.

I was wondering the same thing Dink. Also, I had heard some negative remarks about their actions due to the finish a couple years ago, has this been fixed?

These aren't shown on their web site yet. I have been corresponding with them via email, just clicked on the "contact us" link.
I'm really interested in finding out more myself. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Jim, does the PDF give barrel lengths and rifle weight?

The original idea for the 1999 action was to provide a basic, unfinished CRF action using the best ideas from the Mauser and Model 70 �to the trade�. IOW, a basic action which would have to be finished by a gunsmith.
They said over and over, �these are basic actions and need to be polished.� Then people bitched about how they weren�t all polished out of the box!
I�ve heard good and bad things about them, but then I�ve heard good and bad things about Remington, Winchester, Ford and Chevy.
But they must be doing something okay, since they have stayed in business and gradually grown their offerings over time. I have no experience with them so can offer no personal comment, but again, I wish the best of fortune to any new gun maker and especially to one who offers us southpaws such a wealth of choices.

No Sharps replicas, but I suppose a fellow could shoot a buffler with a .505 Gibbs and have a good chance it would fall over.

No specs, I'm dying to found out myself - weight, length, that kind of thing. From what I've heard and seen of MRC offerings these are not flyweight rifles, but (pure WAG here) I would expect them to be right on the order of a Model 70 Sporter. The action is similar enough to a Model 70 that AFAIK any McMillan stock made for the M70 will fit an MRC action as well. So an Edge can be built for anything they make. You can email them at sales  montanarifleco.com It takes a day or so for them to reply, I'm guessing they are kind of busy right now, but they have replied to all my questions.

I'm really looking forward to this.
The good people of Montana have always been kind to me and my family on our numerous visits. I'd be happy to repay them by continuing to do business with companies operating in that state.
What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

I swore off the WSM's but may have to give the 7 WSM another try in a LH SS CRF.
Maybe my dislike for the WSM's had more to do with the platforms, a Savage in 7 WSM and a Tikka T3 in .270 WSM, rather than the cartridges themselves.

one of the only two LH rifles i own is a CZ3 overrun that i bought from MRC. I like it quite a bit and took it to africa. 300WSM is pretty sweet... i use the MT more now but still shoot the hell out of the CZ...
I can't spell... Deal with it...

I shot a MRC action that was a CZ. Seemed like a nice action. I'm looking forward to seeing their guns.

MRC is great at making promises. I suggest COD for any orders.

That is my worry also that it will be business as usual with MRC. Have to wait and see.
