Got it Saturday, and gave it a run yesterday. It's a fantastic little rifle. I'm gonna bed it and absolutely paint it. Can't have it looking like every other montana after all.

I told him last week to make sure I approved of the paint job so when I bought it from him I didn't have to pay him to paint it again. His reply? "Rainbow it is!" Ouch. Just might of had it coming.

Purple with gold speckles? That's a little more your style

Semi-newbie here. Been around since 2014, but as a lurker. This post inspired me to pull the trigger on a gun that I've been watching for a couple months. They sound incredible, and I can't wait to get it!

FFL called... Tomorrow is the pickup day. Might be the best wind bucking lwt alpine rifle with the 143. Time will tell. Hope to get a can for it to make it a better experience for the wife to shoot.

Got caught up with boat work. Will get it tomorrow. Went with the Montana for the stock. Hunter was ok, but not a Montana.

Yes Calvin, I also like the better stock. Your 6.5 should slam those deer.

Given my shots range from 10yds to around 600, I'd say 2700 is a good starting point for the 143 ELD-x. If they hadn't thrown in 2 boxes of brass, I'd have been tempted to go with the factory stuff. I hear good things about it.

This place really does get expensive after awhile.....
Curious to hear how this cartridge/rifles feeds and cycles.

Sam, my 7mm-08 Montana feeds as smooth as glass. I have 284 rounds through itt with no hang-ups. Maybe I was lucky. Sorry you've Had problems.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
