    Search didn't gen anything up. Any owner/shooter feedback on their factory rifles? I have quite a few of their barrels in my semi-autos. I see prefit barrels available for the elevation/elevation MTR models and with the current prices it would be difficult to build a rifle equivalent to their factory offering.

    Look at all the threads of a Zermatt Origin and Proof barrel. It's the same thing. The only thing you can't buy off the shelf is the stock. You can build a replica of that rifle for less money but it won't have the Proof rollmark on the side.

    Got it. There are some dealers blowing out the MTRs at $2,700 so I'm not sure I can build a rifle for that.

    Interesting. I was at a shoot recently and an MTR was hanging with a Gunwerks NEXUS. I thought my Waypoint 2020 was more of an..."entry rifle". I'm after a back country stalking rifle...not a boat anchor...so trying to narrow things down.

    I bought a 223 and shot it a few times, intended trainer gun; very accurate, light weight, handy. A little pricey but i don't regret it. All parts are quality, and when you get it, you know it will work... I will likely sell mine, to help funds go towards another AI.

    I also own an MTR chambered in 7mm prc and I think it is a great value for what you are getting. Mine shoots sub MOA with the 170 gr terminal ascent, the 175 ELDX, and a 162 gr hammer hunter load from Aria ballistics. It has a good action, a great trigger and barrel, and I really like the stock. Mine has a 24 inch barrel which I think is kind of the sweet spot for the 7 PRC, it's long enough to where you still get really good velocity, but short enough to where it's not obnoxious with my 6 inch suppressor. If you're still thinking about it, I would pull the trigger. I think it's well worth the price.
