I was wrong on the weight, I went back to my review of the rifle. It was 8lbs 7oz scoped, right at 9 lbs with sling and five rounds, and almost 0 lbs with bipod. I know this may seem a little picky, but I was buying the rifle to hunt mule deer between 7,000 and 12,000 feet and weight gets to be a big issue. Plus I spent $1200 on it instead of buying a similar priced Kimber Montana in the weight range I wanted, just not the twist so I couldn't play with the super heavy 6mm bullets.
Photobucket is holding my pictures hostage, and I can't seem to get them off of there at the moment. I do believe MRC went through some growing pains early on, but they seem to have them ironed out. If a guy is wanting a left handed rifle similar to a M70 Winchester, they're pretty much it. I wouldn't have any issues buying another if, I could change things up and make it more of a full custom rifle.
