Montana Rifle Company is an American company that designs, manufactures, and distributes rifles, rifle actions, barrels and provides gunsmith services.

History

The company was created in 1999 by gunsmith Keith Sipe because of his desired to produce a high-quality controlled-feed action.[1] At the time Sipe felt it was difficult for gunsmiths to purchase such actions. In 2007 the ownership transferred to Sipe's son, Jeff Sipe who was a former Kimber Manufacturing employee.

Products

Montana Rifle Company offers rifle actions as well as complete rifles and gunsmithing services including building custom rifles.[2]

The actions are mauser-style with controlled-feed and come in both left and right-handed variations in a number of different sizes to fit different cartridges.[3] They are similar to Winchester Model 70 actions but with more safety features.[4] The actions are noted for being extremely strong.[5]

The rifles are based on the MRC model 1999 action. They come in 3 basic models: "Classic", "High Country" and "Tactical".[6] A variety of stocks are available from wood to composite, as well as a variety of calibers including an emphasis on large-bore dangerous game cartridges. The rifles are described by gun writers as being high quality.[5]

Barrels are available in over 20 calibers with a variety of contours and finishes.[2]
