McMillan Introduces EOL Mountain Extreme Ultra-Long Range Hunting Rifles
OutdoorHub 01.29.13
McMillan Group International introduces the EOL Mountain Extreme rifle line optimized for extreme performance while hunting at long ranges. Developed in conjunction with TV host Bob Beck of Extreme Outer Limits, EOL McMillan Mountain Extreme rifles are built for the EOL Mag series of cartridges. The EOL Mag series utilizes a standard Ultra Mag parent case, but with very long, high-VLD bullets that are seated out longer than usual to free up additional powder capacity inside the case. The result is higher velocity and less bullet drop at extreme ranges.
McMillan’s EOL Mountain Extreme rifles feature a McMillan G30 Long Action, ejection ports and magazine boxes that can accommodate .338 Lapua and other similar length cartridges. Throats are specifically cut for the EOL Mag cartridge series. EOL Mountain Extreme rifles will deliver extreme performance with EOL Mag ammunition, but can also fire factory Remington Ultra Mag ammunition when desired.
Long barrels maximize velocity and benchrest quality precision components deliver superior accuracy. A unique nickel plated bolt shroud, bolt stop and muzzle brake set the EOL Mountain Extreme series apart visually from the rest of the McMillan line of hunting rifles.
“Everything about the EOL Mountain Extreme line is designed for extreme performance at ranges where standard rifles and standard cartridges are at their design limits,” said Kelly McMillan, president of McMillan Group International
Three models are available featuring traditional and tactical styled stocks. Custom EOL Mountain Extreme line includes three custom rifles: EOL Mountain Extreme Yukon™, EOL Mountain Extreme Alpine and EOL Mountain Extreme Denali .
The EOL Mountain Extreme Yukon features a McMillan Outdoorsman stock with a Monte Carlo cheekpiece for scope use. The stock geometry tames the recoil of large magnum cartridges. McMillan’s EDGE graphite technology is used in the stock to save weight. A long 27″ barrel maximizes velocity at long range. Barrels are premium, hand-lapped match grade for superior accuracy. Barrel fluting preserves stiffness of the heavy contour barrel, but saves weight and facilitates cooling.
