Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Any love for the Montana Rifles X2 Extreme?

Wow, I'm glad they didn't have the caliber I wanted when I was shopping. I've had NONE of these issues with the m70 I purchased rather than buying an X2.

When you are small company like that you can ill afford not to nail customer service.

I have an ASR (wood) and find it to be a solid, well-made hunting rifle. It is heavier than my favorite Featherweight, given the heavier contour, 24-inch barrel, but I find that tends to put the balance forward and smooths out the shakes and quivers a bit better. It is also very accurate. As for the issues of weight, it doesn't seem to be any heavier than my BIL's M700 CDL.

Which brings up a question: I don't have a standard weight M70 with which to compare, but since the MRC is supposed to be a copy of that particular rifle, is the barrel contour and barreled action weight about the same? I'm just curious.

I have a X2 in 243, one of the group buy rifles from Whittakers. I have only put about a 100 rounds through it, but it shoots well and have had no issues with it.
I even put a Leupold VX2 3x9x40 on it, just to push my luck.
