Montana Rifle Company has agreed to do an exclusive run for me at the shop and I plan to use that run as a group buy for 24hourcampfire members.
I've committed to a minimum of 25 rifles per quarter. (Minimum of 20 right hand rifles and 5 left hand rifles) We plan to do four runs a year. With that being said, I'm going to ask for your input. I want you involved and I need to hear what you want.
The initial run will be based off their X2-Extreme Weather Rifle. The rifles will be all stainless with their new stock.
We've been tossing ideas back and forth. It's time to decide! I need to place the order Tuesday or Wednesday. Here's what I need to know:
1. 260 (8" twist), 7-08 or 308.
2. 22" or 24" barrel.
3. Green or gray stock (both with black webbing).
4. Fluted barrel or no flutes.
5. Engraved floorplate (numbered, Whittaker Guns logo? -- all small)
The rifles are chambered right. They also have ample room in the mag box for high BC bullets.
Please tell me what you want from the list above. Futures runs will be solely based on your requests. I expect us to do some fun stuff with chamberings, twists, etc on future runs.
I'm not taking deposits yet. Once we've made a decision, I'll start a new thread with the exact specs for the rifle and instructions on how to get your place on line.
I can't post the price until the rifle is specified. Once the questions above are answered, the price will be displayed....but it will be in line with their current rifles.
Thoughts?
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Darrik and Whittaker Guns are paying advertisers here, guys. He is good to go, as far as I am concerned. I think you are going to see some verry interesting stuff coming from here. Stay tuned to Whittaker's Specials ....

This is interesting, A stainless Lefty .308 with a 24" tube,the rest of the details are just fluff to me....Fluted/non-fluted, either way......
But, how about a ball park price to really get my attention?
after some thought, I'll do fluting, but no engraving. Color don't matter.

Look forward to hearing what the final specs are.
I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

Any chance for a 358 Win? I've been kicking around the idea of getting one from MRC in stainless for a few months but haven't yet.
Could get the boy a 7-08 lefty too...
What is the estimated price?
Edit:
Sorry didn't read your post very well.
7mm-08
22
green
Don't care about flutes
Don't care about engraving (as long as it's not Ingwe in a leopard thong)
But, I am in if you do a 358 Win group buy.

I'll have to keep an eye on this. 260's are always a good idea! I for some reason like flutes and 22".

This is just the first group. The chambering and specs will change in the 2nd quarter run. All four runs won't be short actions...

Although I can't quote the exact price yet, I can give a range. They'll be $1099 to $1299 depending what we do to the rifles. I'll have the exact price as soon as the order is ready to submit.
