Montana model 1999 35 Whelen

[Hyde Hunter]

hi all, looking for advice on the above rifle I have a chance to purchase nd wonder if anyone has thoughts on the rifle since the company is out of business and I have no knowledge of them. the gun is priced at 1100.00 and looks like new not a scratch or blemish on the metal with a clean looking bore, stock looks great and no handling marks or scratches does not appear to have been fired much at all. I am concerned about if something breaks about parts. thanks

I have one in another chambering. I’ve been pleased with it. No issues with it. Most loads are inch or smaller. I was going to buy an other when they went belly up.

I have 1 in 404J, have only put a handful or rounds downrange with it. Trigger and action are like butter.

At $1100, buy it!

Does it have a nice walnut stock? You best buy that quickly

I'm heading over to the gun sales web sites now to look for it

Can you check out the rifle first and shoot it? I do recall others having some issues with the MRCs.

@Hyde Hunter
It's a 35 Whelen, one of the grandest medium bores for everything from mouse to American bison and the big bruins as well as ALL African PG.
BUY IT.

I have intimate experiences with two Montana 1999s: one very good, one very bad. PM if you want details.

My .416 Rigby is a tack driver and the action is smooth. Try and find out when it was built, I understand a few of the last rifles weren’t put together as well as the earlier rifles.

That’s a shame, I keep chasing the elusive 35whelen bolt action and think I will just
buy a SS single shot CVA

@S-3 Ranch
My mate Greg had on of those and has regretted selling it. It was a talkative and had a 25 inch barrel.
He was a silly Vegemite selling it.

I have the CVA, I like it. Ive put a few hundred rounds through it the last couple of months, very accurate rifle. Its amazing how compact a single shot is even with a 25 inch barrel. And its a take down model, very easy to travel with. All that being said I have a Winchester Model 70, in .270 being re-barreled to .35 Whelen right now.
