Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Montana Rifle Company XWR-SS - Range Report

Please get a firm quote from them on a lefty stainess xwr 2 in say 270. Thanks.

Any pictures of the new stock set up? 260 might just tickle my fancy....

Agreed more pics and more info about the SAS exclusive. If an 8 twist 260 is available I'm as good as sold.

Sorry guys, haven't had a chance to get back there. SHOT show is HUGE. It is hard to put into words who gigantic the SHOW is. Two full floors plus a third for meetings. It takes up ALL of the Sands Convention center. Simply massive. You can't see everything in four days if you tried, and I have been busy in meetings and classes. Will try to get back there.

Here are some pics of the new catalog I got from their booth.

Thanks! I feel a lighter wallet in my future...now the conondrum of what to sell...

Looks like there are a few new versions available on gunbroker. Do a search for Montana X2. 30-06, 25-06 and 7 mag. Cmon one of you long action guys, take one for the team!

I really like the looks of that stock.

I think they completely crapped the bed with that stock.

Totally agree... that stock is an abortion.

Wish they'd made "Fire" larger on the bolt shroud as well... and it's an investment cast receiver ala Ruger, albeit cleaned up better.

Still, there's much there to like too as this thread has amply pointed out.

The deep flute at the comb is a little different, but other than that I don't see anything too unusual.

It would be nice to handle one and see what that feels like.


And I think the Fire --> marking is driven by product liability, so guys don't shoot themselves in the shoulder

I like the stock. It looks sufficiently different from other manufacturers offerings. Certainly better than the bell and carlsons most are using. I'll be ordering an X2 in .243 real soon!

Totally. Kinda disappointing...

Kinda like seeing a picture of a suit and saying it won't fit.

Not at all... it's like looking at a picture of a suit and saying "THAT'S UGLY!"

I don't need to try on a '70s leisure suit to know I won't like it. Excellent fit or not.

Some may like the new stock. That's great. I hope MRC sells buckets of them and prospers. They aren't for me though...

What don't you like about it?

+1

This falls in one of the categories, "if you have to ask you wouldn't understand."

Granted, it's strictly an aesthetic thing (nothing to do with function). But to those of us that prefer classic stock lines, it is indeed, as Wrongside Rightly points out, the equivalent of a Leisure Suit.

Gentlemen, I give you the Leisure Suit Stock replete with bell-bottom cutout:

I'll take it over the BC abortion, but couldn't comment on the bell bottoms until I tried it on.
