All new ownership, manufacturing, location, etc. Should be interesting. https://montanarifleco.com/

I’ve been following some active threads about this at the African Hunting site. I have a MRC Xtreme X3 in 6.5 CM that I like quite a bit. I might be interested in something similar chambered in 338 Win Mag.
Unfortunately they’ve stated that they don’t plan to offer any magnum length receivers for at least a couple of years. I’d really like to see a double square bridge receiver to fill the gap left by the CZ 550 magnum receivers.

I really like my X2 in 7mm08. I had the factory cut the barrel back to 22. I hunt out of a climbing stand and although I was initially disappointed on the weight it has proven to be a benefit. When I lay it down on the rest on my stand it is very steady. Its accurate and only issue is the safety which is a bit hard to operate. Best wishes for the new owners to do well.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Looks like just stainless/walnut for the first ones. Not sure how large of a draw that will bring, but maybe the line will expand.
Would be interesting to see if they will offer barreled actions or actions only.

The Devil, as always, will be in the details. As an old fart with more rifles than I’ll even need, or even use, I’ll be watching rather than participating, but I’m hoping for the best. Nice stuff is always welcome.
Stainless and walnut is just fine with me, and I’ve put together a couple myself when the market didn’t offer them outright.
What fresh Hell is this?

Brillant.

Actually if you scroll down you'll see one with no pic but with Talley lightweights mounted. From what I understand both options will be offered.

Always a good day when a new CRF rifle manufacturer comes online. Looking forward to seeing their full lineup. Have several of their older rifles and they've shot great. Easily sub MOA.

The new ones are all machined instead of cast. I like that, hopefully it'll allow them to make them lighter.

I emailed them last week to ask about the picatinny rail business, but they’ve responded. Count me out if that’s how they’re doing it.

I really like the looks of them. When are they supposedly coming to market?
