Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

[Mark A Ouellette]

@Altitude sickness and I hosted Ian, Brian, and Kristen of the Montana Rifle Company for a “user test” of a pre-production example of the new MRC Tsavo Rifle in .375 H&H. It is a really nice rifle featuring;

• 4 round magazine in .375 H&H
• 23” barrel
• Removable muzzle brake
• Cerakote finish
• Uses M70 Classic scope bases
• Very nice wood with a “vacuum” impregnated finish
• A bunch of other features that I didn’t take notes on… J
• Retail price when available, $3295

We shot at 50 yards off the standing rest and at 15 to 20 yards for rapid fire. We took a lot of videos but for now, I will post some stills.

Gentleman, this rifle is a shooter. Very nice trigger. 4 shots at 50 yards standing

A lot to like about that setup. Certainly lots of room on the bolt knob for some engraving. Are they sticking with just. 375 or are they considering other calibers?

 

[Altitude sickness]

The .458 Lott is next. Then .416 Rem

When they get caught up with all the orders. They may sell actions for your builder and caliber of choice.

Soooo...asking for a friend, but how would one go about chatting about a .416? Email them directly? And what's their timeframe for going into production?

Beautiful rifle. Really nice to see a company putting out a high quality CRF 375.

Yes, and no need to send it away to spend thousands to smooth it out.

I’m sure Ian will weigh in soon.

Mark, were you shooting at your backyard range?

We'll just call it my private gun club... Ten acres of home, family, fresh venison every November, and the rural ability to enjoy my favorite pastime.

 

[RR 314]

That is a lot of gun for the money. Honestly, I don’t care for the profile of the cheek piece area etc., but would certainly take one for R&D purposes to see if it grew on me.

 

[Oil & Dirt]

That’s a really nice looking rifle. I’d like one in 416 too

 

[Green Chile]

What’s the weight and balance like? What did you think of the trigger and is it proprietary or from a vendor?

 

[LWood]

Beautiful rifle!

 

[CZDiesel]

Very cool! Love TSAVO logo!

 

[Mauser3000]

Beautiful rifle! Any indication if Montana will produce left hand rifles?
