Sunday is typically the day that I go to the range. There is a gun shop that is open, and on the way, there. I stopped in just because I could. I did not see anything to get excited about. As I was walking towards the exit, I stopped to ask the owner if he had received any of the Mountain Guns yet. He said as a matter of fact, one had come in yesterday, but it was ordered for a guy, and he picked it up right away. I asked if he anticipated having any more, anytime soon. He checked his computer then said, they were allocated but none of his distributors were showing any in stock at that moment. All of a sudden, the other clerk in the shop said "Mike, I think you ordered two, I saw one in the back this morning". He then returned with it, and I am its new owner. $1120 plus tax put it at $1191.12 in total.
Today, I picked it up and took it for its first range trip. As far as fit, finish, and mechanical function are concerned I am very happy. As fare as accuracy is concerned, I am disappointed. The first 5 rounds grouped tightly but hit the edge of the target while my point of aim was 6 o'clock on the X ring. Easily four to five inches low. Target was at the 7-yard line. I fired double action from bags. I ended up firing 70 rounds using a variety of ammo, Freedom Munitions 158 Gr 38 special, Blazer 125 Gr 38 special +P, and Freedom Munitions 158 Gr 357 magnum. All were FMJ. I adjusted the rear sight up every 5 rounds. The best I could do was aim at 12 o'clock to hit 6 o'clock in the x ring. The rear sight is adjusted all the way up. Here are a few photos. The stocks do feel great, and recoil is easily managed. Hopefully there will be taller sights available for these but sadly, one should not have to change sights on a new product costing nearly $1200 dollars.
