Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles MRC/Whittaker Guns/24hr Group Buy....

All,

We're ready to move forward with the group buy on the Montana Rifle Company/Whittaker Guns exclusive. I discussed this with Rick and we decided to list it in the hunting rifles section in lieu of the classifieds. This rifle will only be offered to members of 24hourcampfire. If they all don't sell, I stick the remainder on the shelf at the shop. The specs on the rifle are below.

- Montana Rifle Company Extreme X2 (stainless/synthetic)
- 260 Remington
- Fluted 22" barrel
- 1 in 8" twist
- MRC X2 green stock with black/gray webbing
- 20 right hand rifles, 5 left hand rifles
- $1259.99 (plus shipping to your FFL)

If you'd like to get in on the buy, please send an email to darrikwhittakerguns.com
Please include:

- MRC Exclusive in the subject line.
- Your full name and screen name on here.
- Your contact info including your phone number
- Your preferred method of deposit payment

Someone will contact you to process the order ASAP (if during business hours). A 15% non-refundable deposit is required to hold your order. Methods of payment are credit card, personal check, certified check or money order. A 3% fee will be added for all credit card transactions. The price listed above is at a cash (or check) discount. Balance will be due in full once the rifles are ready to ship -- you can even pay over time while waiting if you'd like. You will be charged exact shipping to your locale, not an inflated estimate. US only at this time. I'm still working on potential Canadian orders.

Lead time is approximately 12-14 weeks once the stocks are complete. Before shipping, we will require a signed copy from your receiving FFL.

This buy will be limited to 25 rifles. The second (and different) batch of exclusives will be announced the first week of April.

MRC sent me a picture of their green stock for reference. The picture below was taken upon completion of painting and the tape hasn't been pulled yet. I'm posting it for a color idea.

Feel free to email/PM questions! IF WANTING IN IMMEDIATELY ON THE BUY, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO THE ADDRESS ABOVE. I can't always answer PM's and will only use the email as a time stamp.

Thanks in advance and I'll update this post as needed!

Done

Wow. Good deal for sure.

Darrik, sorry if I missed this one but what will the approximate weight of this rifle be as specified above? Thanks.

Typed in wrong e-mail address and it was kicked back to me, but I have corrected it and you should have my e-mail now.

I have a habit of typing a "q" where a "g" should go.

I got it and replied Ed. Thanks again!

Greg,

They list the rifle as 6lbs 14oz on their site, but this one will have a fluted barrel. I'm not sure if the weight listed is with the old or new stock, but the new stock is lighter than the older B&C.

I don't guess we'll have a true weight until one is finished! An estimate would be in the 6lb 10oz range bare...

Curious, but can't a FFL ship to a private individual?

No sir!

Are these bedded from the factory? If yes, how? Are they glass pillar bedded or what?

Yes...glass pillar bedded.

I sent you and email.

Please put me down for a lefty

Thank you sir -

Looks like a nice rifle.

Web site says pillar and glass bedded.

Sent email but neglected to specify right handed.

any idea how it will be throated?

Their 260 reamer is good to go. Mine is a couple of years old, but jeffbird has a newer 260. You shouldn't have any problem reaching the lands with any and all high BC bullets. The mag box in these rifles is quite generous. That's another appeal of the rifle...

Damn it - house closing is next month- I'm aways out from participating!

What kind of trigger does the MRC offer. Do they offer Custom LOP?
