Re: Montana Rifle Company...

I don't know - I just look at that action and all I can think is "nice try". The surface is so wavy it makes me queasy.

To me it's neither fish nor fowl. I can see it making a nice American sporting rifle that would have used a model 70 action. But a double square bridge model 70? Does not compute at all. Plus the bridges are too low and diminutive to have the right look. Now their regular model 70 action is just fine, if you want to build a model 70. Personally I have no interest in them.

Like BlainSmipy says, you can still get the real deal for less than half the price of this action. I wish any American firearms company the very best, but this action seems like a solution to a problem that noone has.

And if they can make that action, but they can't tool up and whip out a few dozen firing pins so that they can fill orders that guys are waiting patiently for? I don't know...that feels odd to me. Their website has lots of photos of all the various parts being machined from billets - maybe the photos are from subcontractors.
