Jim - Thanks for the MRC summary.

When recounting the history of the 1999 action, folks should know that for a few years in the early 2000's, MRC supplied their 1999 barreled actions to CZ-USA, who then put a nicely designed walnut stock on it (I am not sure who the stockmaker was) and sold it as the "CZ USA Model 03." Unfortunately, the partnership quickly fell apart because, apparently, the two companies couldn't agree on how the rifle should be priced - CZ wanted "affordable," and MRC wanted "high end":
