LEDE Marshall Hunting Rifle

Montana Rifle Company (MRC) has announced its Marshall Hunting Rifle—a rifle the company bills as being 10,000 rounds in the making.

The Marshall is a Montana Rifle Co. and Shoot2Hunt collaboration that was developed for exploring demanding places. Additional collaborators on the Marshall are Rokslide and Unknown Munitions.

Like all Montana rifles, the Marshall will feature the Adaptive Controlled Round Feed, a three-position safety and a stainless barreled action with Cerakote elite series finish. Its Adaptive Controlled Round Feed is a unique feature, allowing hunters to seamlessly alternate between controlled round feed—facilitating magazine-fed ammunition—and push feed, enabling direct single round chamber loading. Recognized as the gold standard in reliability, controlled round feed ensures consistent performance in any hunting scenario. By empowering hunters to adapt their feeding method on the fly, Montana rifles allow hunters to stay ready for any situation in the field.

Unique to the Marshall Hunting Rifle is an Unknown Munitions Time three-port muzzle brake; Rokstok Trinity Rail (ARCA/Picatinny/Spartan compatible); Unknown Munitions AICS bottom metal with Ambidextrous release; an MDT AICS 3-round flush-fit polymer and 5-round metal; and a custom Rokstok. The Rokstok is a carbon stock with a true negative comb ½-inch above bore centerline at a 12-degree angle.

Select calibers of the Marshall hunting rifle will be available to start shipping in late April 2025, with additional calibers anticipated to ship by late summer 2025.

Available Calibers

6.5 Creedmoor—Available 4/30/2025
308 WIN—Available 4/30/2025
6.5 PRC—Available late summer 2025
6 Creedmoor—Available late summer 2025

Each Marshall Hunting Rifle will be factory tested and proven, with 10-round accuracy to 1.5-inch MOA, magazines cycle tested for a total of 101 rounds, and the rifles will be factory torqued to spec. The Montana Rifle Marshall will be available at these dealers:

JD Outfitters—Oklahoma City, OK (405) 822-1564

Recipe: Crispy Sticky Venison

This recipe is a great way to turn a simple venison roast into something that tastes as if it came from your favorite takeout place. The meat becomes tender on the inside and crisp on the outside, and the sticky sauce brings together sweet, salty and spicy flavors. Serve it over a bed of rice and watch it disappear.
