Now that's some out of the box thinking. If SAS could get a firearms company to put something like this together,well,I would schit muh shorts. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0556.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0554.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0558.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0557.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg546/elkhunterinnm/IMG_0555.jpg) 4x Zeiss. And do it at a price of $1000-1200. Paid $1000 for the rifle above.

Future run, be cool to see a stainless steel 223ai with a light contour barrel and 8 twist.

Pretty irrelevant to the current topic at hand; a wood & blued 270 compared a SS/Synthetic in various chamberings.... Tanner

How about...oh say......a wood stock.  You can get this from Boyds. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1158.photobucket.com/albums/p603/tmitch4570/platinum.png)

Wood sucks. Stainless 8 twist 223 or 22-250 or 243 would be sweet for a future run.

Hmmm...now it's turning interesting....

Of zero interest to me when there are good SS/Syn rifles being made every day, but whatever floats your boat. Or course I like rifles that just plain work with minimal maintenance...

I love a rifle with great wood. I just don't hunt with them as much as I do with synthetic stocks or wood stocks with average wood grain. If a wood stock is available for this buy, it would need to be a standard issue walnut stock. I would hunt with it more. Or make the stock an exhibition grade stock and take it on easy (not rocky or mountainous) hunts.

So after all the discussion I want to be sure I understand what's going to happen. Sorry if this was already clearly specified somewhere in the previous umpteen posts.
Based on the preponderance of input here you'll order a group of rifles all chambered the same, with the same barrel length, fluted or not, same color stock, engraved or not, etc., and not some of this and some of that, right?
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Exactly right. The run of rifles will have the same specs.
The MRC guys return late Monday night, we'll verify details and pricing, then I'll start another thread Tuesday for those wanting in on the buy.
Keep in mind, this is the first of four. The next batch of rifles in the second quarter will have different specifications.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

I always miss out on these things. I ordered a x2 left hand in 260 rem two and a half months ago won't get it until July or sometime around there.

260

24" barrel non-fluted (can always be shortened) or 22" fluted
green stock but don't care really
small engraving ok

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?
When you are ready to start a run of 9.3x62mm, let me know. You can engrave it "24 hour campfire hammer" too if you'd like  . I'm hoping it would be ALMOST as accurate as my CZ 550 American. However, I realize that will be damn near impossible  . I like the fluted barrel option. I don't like your stock color option either: Make mine a brown textured stock with red pachmayr decelerator pad. I'd also want in on one of the 5 lefty's. Your list of short actions just don't cut it for me  . Thanks...
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

I'm going to let guys on here decide what's next. As soon as we get this one behind us, we'll open the discussion for the next...
I think a 338-06 would be sexy. I've no idea why and I've never owned, but it just sounds interesting!
Step it up a notch and start thinking 9.3

... When you are ready to start a run of 9.3x62mm, let me know. ... I'd also want in on one of the 5 lefty's. ... My strong preference if/when they do a LA LH std bolt face group buy would be 6.5x55. However, if all they offer in LH are 9.3x62's (similar to XVR-SS), I will be sorely tempted to jump in. Given that MRC does not offer any 9.3 bores in their normal list of chamberings, it would add to the "uniqueness" of the group buy.

This or 375 H&H would be awesome. An upgraded walnut stock, red recoil pad, deep blued metal. Left hand of course.
