In 1990, Keith Sipe started the Montana Rifleman. He was a gunsmith who specialized in fixing firearms for the avid sportsman. His own passion for hunting and his technical know-how earned him a loyal following among his clients.
Accuracy is a concern for every serious hunter. To get the performance he wanted for his customers, Sipe built his own barrel drill, reamer and rifler and started to make high-quality barrels on his own.
The next logical step was to start making custom hunting rifles. Many of his early guns were based on Mauser-type actions. But in the mid 90s the supply of these actions dwindled and Sipe went to the drawing board to create his own.
The Quality of Our Products Reflects the Quality of our People. 1 9 99
Sipe knew what he wanted in his own action. It would combine the best attributes of the famed Mauser action with features of the early Winchester Model 70 action…and the Model 1999 action was born. This dual-lug, controlled-round feed action formed the basis for the Montana Rifle Company.

Sipe grew his barrel manufacturing company, The Montana Rifleman Inc, into one of the largest barrel manufacturing companies in the world, while changing course at Montana Rifle Company from custom to full production rifles, winning the prestigious Field & Stream “Best of the Best” Award.

Montana Rifle Company is located in the heart of the American West, and our favorite elk and mule deer spots are not far from our back door. But that doesn’t stop us from traveling the globe to test our products on the world’s most grueling hunts. Our goal is to make the most dependable and accurate rifles possible and the only way to realize that is to use them under harsh, real-world 6
conditions and to put them in the hands of the world’s foremost shooting and hunting experts. No matter where the hunt might take us—whether to the frozen tundra in the arctic, the barren mountains of Central Asia, or the blistering heat of Africa—we make sure our rifles are up to the task. This ethic of continual improvement is in the DNA of every rifle we build.
