This thread will cost me money: I'm getting a 7x57 later this year for sure. Was going to build on a pre-64, but I think I'll save that action for something else. It's currently a .270 and I'm working on wearing the barrel out

Oregon45,
It might cost me some money as well. I'm a tried and true Remington man, but this rifle has me weak in the knees. I may have to save up and give one a try. Just gotta decide on caliber, one I already load for or a whole new endeavor.
Wonder how much weight the new stock will shave off? A few ounces maybe?

The missing link is some pics and info on their house made stock. If it's built like a railroad tie this isn't worth it. Figure if the stock doesn't "work" and requires replacement then you would be back to what a custom tubed Faux Ti would price out at.

With that generous mag box, one of these in 260, assuming the new stock fits, would be sweet!

The Colorado Buck edition sans brake is interesting.

Just got an email from MRC, the new stock is approximately 8 oz lighter than the B&C. No pictures or specs, as of yet though.

I just got an email too:)
"The new stocks are about 6 oz lighter than the previous stocks and they are both aluminum pillar bedded and Glass Bedded. Typicall wait time right now is about 4-6 weeks.
Jeff"
Either way, it sounds like a better deal. I might have to get me one!

Outstanding. I could see myself getting a fast twist 22-250 from them.

Are these actions a drop-in fit to a Winchester stock? Or mostly drop-in anyway?

Are these actions a drop-in fit to a Winchester stock? Or mostly drop-in anyway? The action is very close; main difference is depth of the inlet as the Montana is a bit thicker than the M70 in places. Likely have to open the magazine box inlet for the short action as well.

Bigswede, I've always been a Rem fan also. As far as bolt action centerfires, I haven't owned anything else in years. The new stock being 6-8 oz lighter, the long magbox, and the fact that they will cut the barrel to 22" from the factory, my new position and resulting raise starting at midnight and the fact that the piggy bank is only a couple hundred short may all add up to one of these in the not to far future. At least if a smoking deal on something like a 308 LVFS doesn't jump in the way. Dave.

Will somebody please say that these rifles are crap? You guys are messing with my New Years Resolutions. Next thing they'll start fluting the barrels.
Sheesh...

Sheesh... Will they shoot better with a fluted barrel? I think the cool factor would go up a notch or two if they did flute the barrel...  . Just sayin..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Been hankerin for a 308 about that weight. A fluted barrel would push me over the edge. Might ask them about it when I'm ready to take the plunge. Course I'm wanting a 7-08 also but thinking that will be either a new tube one one of the 243 donors I've got sitting here or a Montana.

Very nice rifles with a fair price tag, but a LA version with a 12-14 oz scope is going to be an 8.5+ lb rifle & that takes most of the luster off for me.
Got plenty of 8.5 lb rifles & enough of the ones that are under 7 lb or so to know which ones I strongly prefer to tote around.
