Next go around .243 Win 8 twist 22" featherweight barrel, green or gray stock don't matter to me. Wouldn't mind a .358 Win or .338 Fed patterned the same way with appropriate twists.

I have a MRC 22" in 260, which is quite handy, nicely balanced, and easy and pleasant to shoot. I'll take extra weight for ease of shooting. Good luck with the sale SAS. I have 308 and 260 covered, so standing by for the future offerings.

Jeff, What is the actual weight on your 260? Also, any idea what the muzzle diameter is? I realize the new ones will have a lighter stock.
SAS I'd be in for 260 1/8 22 fluted or featherweight contour green no engraving
And thanks for putting this together!

My vote for the next round would be a do-it-all round like 35 Whelen. I suspect there would be a bunch of fellas wanting one... +1 but make mine a lefty.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Next go-round:
Must have: > Left hand > Stainless > 6.5x55 @ 1:8"
Prefer: > Green > Fluted > No engraving > 22" barrel
If you can do this within the price range above, I'm in...

7-08 8" twist 24" barrel Grey stock Fluted No engraving Jordan, I've already thought about those of you north of the Medicine Line. I'm working on something to make it happen... That's good to hear! My plan was just to have it imported, but I'm all ears for sure. Me too - prefer .260 8"/ 24" fluted either color , No engraving

Guys,
Derrick is putting a lot of work and effort into putting together a rifle that has much of what many ask for re twist, coal, etc.
Agreeing to a small innocuous logo of his company on the floor plate would be a nice way to return the favor.

308 22" green or gray don't matter, flutes could be nice just cause I don't have anything fluted but even that don't really matter, no engraving. If I have the money when needed I'll be in.

No offense, but a lot of you are asking for basically a standard production model. I just think an 'exclusive' should have more than a different stock color, while still having features with broad appeal.
