Need advice, I am looking at purchasing two new rifles, a 270 Win and a 300 Win Mag, to cover the spectrum. I was primarily looking at a Sako 85 Hunter Laminated Stainless or a Weatherby Mark V Accumark both of which come in both calibers, but then came across some info on the Montana Rifle Company (MRC). Now I am considering adding their XWR Extreme Weather Rifle to the mix.
I have looked all over the internet and searched the Firing Line archives, but there is very little "recent" info on the company or the rifle. What is out there concerns mainly bad customer service from a few years ago. I called MRC and talked to their Sales Manager, Larry Craven, who could not have been nicer and also owned up to the previous customer service problem and stated it had been rectified. Also, according to Larry, the big new change for the XWR is they are no longer using the B&C stock, but have moved to a new custom stock they are producing in house.
So here is my quesiton, does anyone have updates on MRC or the XWR rifle from the last 12 months or so. Has their customer service really improved and how does the XWR compare to the Sako and Weatherby?
Thanks
