What is everyones opinion of the Montana barrels? I have heard that is their main business, but I would like to know about the accuracy and quality.

I bought a 45 barrel from them and they sent one with chatter marks. They took care of busines without hesitation and even let me alter it to a 1/2 OCT and 1/2 round without change in price. The 2nd is beautiful and shoots like a dream.

I have one on a .300 Win Mag, and it shoots very well. A friend of mine has installed multitudes of these barrels, and is very happy with the results. Price is very reasonable.

Any more experiences with Montana as barrel makers? I was possibly planning on having them custom contour a barrel to eliminate the long wait for another manufacturer to get the one I want. Plus, it saves a little money on installation by having them take care of it at the factory. What are your thoughts?

Have several some round some octogon all shoot well.

I have six of them in different calibers and the worst accuracy has been 3/4" with the best down in the high .200's and low .300's. They are very well made and underrated.

Have used one for a 35 Whelen mauser and another
target garde heavy barrel in 308.Both were great
accuracy is excellent.Seem to be very under rated,Do not understand why,they make a quality
product.And go out of their way to make sure that all is well.Waiting on tax return to order
another ,for a 270 project.

I have an MRC short action but when I looked at $245 for a 26" contoured SS blank I decided to go for the $265 Krieger 27" blank instead. Nothing against MRC but for $20 I'd go with Krieger if you can stand the wait.

Okay, last call! Tell me why I shouldn't use Montana to build my barrel for my action. Overall, it will be cheaper to have them install the barrel when I order the action. It ends up being a lot of savings.

Hi 333_OKH
I have 3 of their rifles and one they replaced a barrel on. They are all very good shooters. The actions are easy ro work on and they are also easy to rebarrel. I also own Krieger barrels and they are excellent. For the money and availibility I would get the Montana action and barrell set . I am amazed at the accuracy @ 200 yds with the 300wsm and 30-06 A.I. I do recommend their stainless.It cleans up quickly after you break em in

Many thanks for all of your comments. They will be making a custom barrel profile for a short action for me.
