Rocky Mountain Rifles?
Anyone own or have any firsthand shooting experience with these rifles. I fondled one at Huntfest this year and it felt amazing. I am seriously thinking about picking one up in 280AI but wanted to get some feedback from those who shoot/hunt with a RMR. The rifle would mainly be used for Elk and Sheep so any suggestions on modle type or custom options would be appreciated.

Havent used one of their rifles but they have done some good gunsmith work for me.

I've got a .270WSM built on a Defiance action....it shoots okay....best it's done is a .385" ;)
Love the rifle! |
Spurly on here has one.... a real sweetheart to carry from what I understand.

Below are three consecutive groups fired with the 300RUM that Corlane built for me using a 700 action, Gaillard barrel, and Mcmillan stock.

wow, great guns, not cheap but sure do the trick and a bit more!

I just ordered a rifle from Kevin Weaver at Weaver Rifles in Colorado. He is making beautiful rifles at a great price. I have personally seen 2 of his rifles and would say that they are nicer than a RMR and as nice as a Bansner Rifle. Good Luck.

Had threre RMR Down to one
There were three RMR in our Family however we sold two of them.
All are very accurate and for the most part well built rifles,except for the fact that corlane made the chamber to tight in two out of the three rifles,Which is ok if you reload your own ammo because we had to use special shell holder's when we resized the brass. we had a 257wby mag,& 30-06 that were sold and my cousin still has his 270win RMR,that has a tight chamber.If you bought factory ammo for his 270 win and shot it in the rifle,after the shot the bolt wont open,due to the tight chamber. Either way I dont think you can go wrong with a RMR i'd put them right up there with the cooper's!!! |

Only a Few more months till cooper's model 56 ,Magnum Rifles hit Alberta,I'm not certain on all the chambering's though.i'd say 300 win & 7mm Rem For sure!! |
Rmr
I have the Alpine extreme 308 win. it weighs 4lbs. 11oz.It is a real tiny rifle, but a joy to pack.It shoots very well for a small light rifle, the fit and finish is very nice.I will try to post pics in a day or two, my laptop blew up, and I had to get a new one, so have not swapped everything over.

RMR Iended up buying this used, but do not regret it,I have never used the brakes that came with the rifle, as I hate brakes , and I don't find the recoil to be a problem.I have had a couple Kimber 84m Montana rifles that were very light, but this is noticably lighter.

For those people who would like a stainless Cooper action,or a magnum Cooper action,both will be available very soon. |
Great! Thanks for all the responses guys. Those are some pretty amazing groups you guys are getting. I think I am leaning towards the Thinhorn (Defiance) chambered in 280 AI. T.J. and Rich, what barrel length did you end up going with?
|
I have a 24" #4 contour that is fluted.
