    Montana Rifle Co African.....on the way...

    nksmfamjp look forward to seeing your finished product. As you might recall, I have one in 375 and have had trouble using the open sights. Could you tell me which open sights will be included in your build? I'm really looking for an alternative to what's on mine so interested in what is on offer...

    Montana AVR SS 375 H & H

    Yes, it's been a struggle to find anything suitable that might be compatible with the marbles base. I will see if I can find any info re the replacement blade from Marbles, but otherwise I think I will have one made up and filed to suit.

    Rear sight to be a single blade with a shallow V. The front sight I guess could remain as is or be a blade?

    Front and rear sights are in a dovetail. I am starting to think I may have a rear blade custom made in order to get exactly what I want.

    Mmmmm, it already has the larger front sight so back to the drawing board.

    Just on the sights, they are Marbles sights that are screwed on to the barrel - makes for an easy change but there are as far as I can see, no safari style rear leaf sights in their inventory. Instead, I may replace the tiny front sight - 1/'16" - with a larger 3/32" bead, just so I can find it...

    Thanks Ridgewalker! Factory ammo is very expensive down here so I might sight in with some PPU stuff and then reload some Woodleighs.

    Thanks all. Will definitely have QD mounts with a 1-4 scope. Not looking to use it at range, first step is Buff in Northern Australia, then I hope to head to Africa for the real Buff. One step at a time though! Paul, I'm in Melbourne so will talk to Kudu. Thanks.

    Montana AVR SS 375 H & H

    Hi Everyone, I sold my CZ 550 416 Rigby before firing it - I have a hand injury and figured I should walk before I run as I venture into the bigger calibres - and picked up a Montana Rifle Co 375 H&H. Fine looking rifle, CRF is smooth ( without loaded rounds ) balance is great, although the...

    Montana Rifle Co AVR - American Vantage Rifle 375 H&H

    I have a chance to pick one up at a discounted price, but I know nothing about them. The rifle has a monte carlo cheek piece and open sights with a 3 + 1 capacity. CRF and top load.... So, are they reliable, accurate and strong? I could buy a tried and tested CZ550, but then this came along........
