Jeffbird had a full review recently that was great. Essentially a nice action built in the Ruger factory to MRC's spec, generous mag box for their "intermediate/short" action (you can run 7x57 in it versus a long action like most makers), and a "real" Winchester style trigger (like a P64 or Classic). They are making their own handles now and frankly they should fit into an McM that fits a Win Classic (or be close enough for you to fit it at home). Great rifles. Jeff

They want over a grand for the wood stocked rifle. I am just wondering what makes it worth what a Winchester super grade costs?? Is there something special about the action and barrels they are using??

The barrel on mine is very smooth and the trigger light and crisp. With no load development, my MRC XWR put 10 shots into MOA or a little less. Other recent reviews I have read showed similar results. For the same $, I would take a MRC over a Winchester all day, every day.

My primary concern is accuracy. Don't much care if it's stainless or chromoly.
