Ah, if memory serves, it was Oregon because my memory is they were located in the far NW. It was shortly after Kimber started making rifles other than the rimfires that I saw the MRC actions on their guns. If memory serves they started with the high end rimfires, very nice rifles, then went to the centerfire, using the MRC action. I do not know what action they are using now if not the MRC action. Easy way to tell is to look at the trigger guard, if there is no screw between the floor plate and triggerguard it is not a Win. It is an MRC.

Thanks for the note of appreciation, the photos were made before I got it completed and took it to Africa. That is a exhibition Bastogne walnut stock with a Madagascar ebony tip and cap. The partial inletting was done for me by the late Ed Shulin of CO, Ed was the stock making instructor at the CO School of Gunsmithing, I sure miss him. The barrel is a SS computer lapped light magnum match barrel by Lothar Walther. I ordered the action, pre production, from MRC.
