Description
You’re glassing a high-country basin at last light. The bull elk is at 450 yards, quartering away, with a steep canyon wind starting to gust. This is the moment you built the rifle for—or rather, the moment the rifle was built for you. The Montana Rifle Co. Colorado Buck Edition 300 Win Mag, 24″ Barrel Synthetic, Cerakote, Right Hand, Brake is a purpose-built, long-range hunting rifle engineered for Western big game. It’s a turn-key system designed for the hunter who demands precision and durability in punishing alpine environments, priced at $1950.40.
Look, when it comes to serious hunting, a rifle is a tool, not a toy. This Colorado Buck Edition understands that assignment. The foundation is a cold hammer-forged, 24-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, optimized to stabilize heavy, high-BC bullets for the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge. That length gives you the full powder burn and velocity you need for ethical shots at extended ranges. The barrel is topped with a factory-installed muzzle brake—a critical feature that tames the .300 Win Mag’s substantial recoil, letting you spot your own impacts and follow-up faster. It’s a system that fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to be range or field-ready.
The synthetic stock isn’t an afterthought; it’s a lightweight, weatherproof platform that won’t warp or swell in rain or snow. Paired with the Cerakote finish on the metalwork, this rifle shrugs off moisture, scratches, and the general abuse of backcountry travel. The action is smooth, feeding reliably from the detachable box magazine, and the crisp trigger is adjustable, a feature you don’t always find at this price point. Weighing in at approximately 7.8 lbs without optics, it strikes a practical balance between being steady for a shot and portable for miles of hiking.

Pros: The integrated muzzle brake makes a powerful cartridge far more shootable. The Cerakote and synthetic stock offer exceptional durability for all-weather use. The adjustable trigger and smooth action provide a refined feel. It’s a complete, capable long-range hunting package right from the start.
Cons: The .300 Win Mag is overkill for whitetail at 100 yards—this is a specialist’s tool. The muzzle brake increases report, so hearing protection is mandatory on the range. At nearly eight pounds bare, it’s not an ultralight mountain rifle.
So who is this for? The hunter pursuing elk, moose, or bear across open terrain where shots beyond 300 yards are a real possibility. It’s for the shooter who values a rugged, low-maintenance finish and appreciates the recoil management of a brake. This rifle is also compatible with a wide range of optics from brands like Leupold, Nightforce, or Vortex, mounted on standard Picatinny rails. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the muzzle brake removable if I want to use a suppressor?
A: Yes, the brake is threaded on, allowing for removal by a competent gunsmith. You can then direct-thread a compatible suppressor or install a different muzzle device. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, and NFA rules apply to suppressors.
Q: What is the magazine capacity?
A: The rifle uses a detachable box magazine with a standard capacity of 3 rounds, which is typical and often mandated for hunting large game in many Western states.
Q: Is the rifle ready for a scope mount?
A: The action is drilled and tapped for a standard scope base. You’ll need to purchase and install separate bases and rings to mount your optic, allowing you to choose the setup that matches your preferred eye relief and ring height.
If your season involves crossing canyons and trusting your equipment when the shot counts, this rifle is built for that reality. See the full details and availability on our site.
