I wanted to know what you gentelmen thought about Montana Rifle Co actions and complete guns?

They're a M70 clone more or less. Would make a great action for any cartridge that can fit in the long action (375 H&H, 404 Jeffery, 416 Rem, 458 Win/Lott, etc). If you want a cartridge like a 416 Rigby or 505 Gibbs, you might want to get a CZ or GMA action as the MRC PH action is just slowly starting to trickle out to customers who placed their order eons ago.

Welcome to the forum.

If you search this forum for 'MRC' using the 'Find' button above, you will find many threads discussing this action.

I like the MRC actions, have had a 404Jeffrey and my latest 375hnh built on them( not built by MRC). The actions need a little smoothing up but a good gunsmith can take care of that. Actually have an action getting ready for another project. As stated by another member they are basically m70 clones, so there are a lot of after market stuff available.

Do you have a specific cartridge in mind?

I'm finishing college but when I'm done I would like to build a .495 A-square

I've been down this road. Do yourself a favor and look really closely at the 500ar. Its everything the 495 is minus the belt, you can form cases from hornady 416 rigby brass. Just do a search for 500ar.

Problem with the .495A2 is the .500A2. The .495 is a great cartridge but the .500 gets all the attention. Brass and reamers for the .500 are easy to get, I couldn't find any for the .495 when I looked. Some advertised it but it wasn't in stock.

And a second vote for the .500AR! It fits in an equal quality but much less expensive action then the .500 does.
