Blind mag option wouldn't be bad. If a SA could go 7# done, things could get dicey.... I think their High Country series would get you there, but it comes with a bit larger price tag. The SAs are listed at 6# 2oz.

Jeff...the .350 above came with the Tally rings that in the picture. I usually switch out for a Weaver style base and Low to Medium rings depending on the scope....but these worked perfectly so I left them alone..
A thick rail can be a major pain as it takes up vertical scope height that could be used for higher rings for the objective to clear the base...
What kind of top end power do you need/want on the scope? My two favorites for ranges under 300 are the Leupold VX-3 1.75-6 or 2.5-8. For longer ranges the Nightforce 2.5-10, Shepherd 3.5-10, Leupold 3.5-10 or 4.5-14...
The .350 has a 2.5-8 Leupold.

From MRC today: "We are making our XWR stocks in house and no longer using B&C stocks. They no longer have a cheek piece and are made with carbon fiber and Kevlar with a matte black finish with grey spider webbing."
Good to know they will no longer have a B&C 2x4 attached. Actually I think the B&C are a good stock, the wrist is just way to thick for my liking.

I'd be interested to know how the wrist on their new stocks compares with the B&C. I also wonder if they're still using aluminum bedding blocks, or if they're moving away from that...

We got a couple in today and they still had the B&C stock. I've not seen the new stock yet....

Them Montana Rifle SOB's know how to make a barrel that'll shoot, that's a fact. I just hope their move to Huntsville doesn't work out like Marlin's move to NC for quality.

Completely different entities....
MRC still makes their own barrels for their rifles in house. They sold the barrel company that mass produced barrels. There has been some confusion there.
Freedom Group has nothing to do with Montana Rifle Company or the barrels Montana Rifle Company uses on their rifles.

Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight. What do you get when you cross a polar bear with a seal? A polar bear. Did you hear they arrested the devil? Yeah, they got him on possession. www.wvcdl.org

New stock sounds promising except for the spider-jjizz. Rattle can would take care of that quick. I've been thinking about an MRC on/off for awhile but am not a fan of the BC if its like the M70 EW.

One thing I forgot to ask when I called them was if their barreled actions would fit stocks made for a Winchester, such as a McMillian.
