I own a couple of 30-378's but they're SAKO M995s and fairly heavy but no brakes. The 30-378 does have a bit of recoil. You might want to use hearing protection.

Here's all I know about Mountain Rifle Inc. (just a web search).

BBL: 26 inch round
Stock: composite
Gauge: 30-378
Finish: black
$3,750.00USD (sold at auction).

It looks like an ultra-light design. Is that what your's looks like? . What does yours weigh?

X2 on the hearing protection. I don't have a 30-378 but I do have a Accumark 338-378 and I wear plugs and muffs cause it is LOUD!!!

Recoil is reasonable but the report is off the chart.

I work with hockyman, I'll get him that info thanks!
By the way, I was the one that had him look into those Mountain rifles Inc 30-378s what a work of art they are! The ultimate hunting rifle really, super lightweight and with that break he built it kicks like a .270 and with the concave ports on the break the sounds cancels itsself out when they hit limiting allot of the blast noise to a point. What a great find that rifle was for him!

Family and a friend bought four or the 30-378's from Dana ( some called him Dan I guess ) love these guns, light weight and very potent. The load we are shooting now was on the suggestion of Dana, which was to work up a load using the 140 gr lost river ballistic technologies bullets. They have a very high BC. Some say they are to light for elk but I have not lost one yet. Many elk taken between 500 and 800 yards. The load I settled on is using 113 gr of reloader 25. Getting 3940 fps on 3 of the guns and 3850 fps on one gun. These guns are awsome. they shoot VERY FAST and FLAT.
