Ian, I have talked to you guys the last 2 years at the SCI convention in Nashville. I am in Fenton, Mi and have wanted to get by your place to see the operations. But I see now there are a couple dealers in Michigan, Franks and Jays. I assume I would have to order through them which is OK. I appreciate your time on this forum for all of us.

Is the checkering done by laser? Is there options for hand checkering?

Tsavos are shipping out pretty regularly, and I'm very excited to get them into hunters' hands. I think we're close to selling out the first 50 guns! More stocks are on order and expected in a month or so.

I'm trying to schedule up a play date with @Mark A Ouellette to see and shoot some production rifles. Unfortunately, they're shipping out as fast as we can make them. We also don't want to put bases on finished guns to avoid marring the Cerakote. I'm going to take the final proto rifle over to his range to run rounds through. That rifle is identical to the production guns with the exception of the finish. It's a satin H series finish, and we switched to a higher gloss Elite series that looks more like polished blue.

The 1st article stock for the Tsavo's all weather sibling is due in from McMillan any time and we'll be releasing it for production mid summer.

Many humble thanks,
-Ian MacDonald

Sir- Mine showed up at my FFL today and I will pick it up tomorrow. I am in the process of buying the right stuff to equip it with a Zeiss V6i 1-6x24. Question does it use the Talley Style or the Weaver Picatinny? I am going Alaska Arms QD rings in low.

The mount pattern is the same as post'64 Winchester M70 Express/Magnum receivers with .330" rear spacing (#6-48 screws). Talley QD bases are the usual go to. I'm not familiar with anything Alaska Arms makes that will fit. They seem to cater more to the Ruger and CZ550s.

I've got a test rifle with the V6 1-6, and it makes a very sweet setup!

Any chance the built in Pic rail will be available on these bigger rifles? That is one of the most compelling selling points to me of your other receivers.

I was wondering the same. It is advertised as a “slick top”. I’m wondering if I can just add a steel Pic rail on top without any drilling.

Thread 'The new MRC Tsavo is in hand! Guess what the Serial Number is...'

May 27, 2026

So I picked up my new Montana Rifle Company Tsavo .375 from my FFL today. Fit and finish appears to be much better than what I would expect at this price point. One of the coolest things (at least I think so) is that I got Serial Number DG000007! How lucky is that?

I no longer see mention on the website of any other calibers. Anyone know if other calibers are still planned?

The Tsavo's all weather sibling, the Brooks will have the machined in Pic rail like our other rifles. There's internal talk of making the pic/slick an option for either rifle, but hasn't gone much further than talks. We're not a custom shop, but substituting one receiver part number for a different one isn't a huge deal to me from an engineering standpoint. I'm sure the sales department wouldn't turn an order away in the case of a special request

Personally, I'm a KISS and function first guy and thought the integrated rail was a no brainer while designing the receiver. When we released the Junction, the amount of hate that came in for ruining the lines of the gun was pretty intense. My favorite line was referring to the rail as "An aesthetically Disgusting Cheese Grater". Loved it so much, we call it the ADCG rail around the shop! I'm not knocking anyone that wants a classic styled rifle, and happy we can make it happen.


458 Lott and 416 Rem Mag are the next two slated calibers. I really want to do a least a sprint run in 404J, and of course, expand out to left handed rifles sooner than later.

I know I can only speak for myself but I think your sales on a 404J and 416 RM will go gangbusters. To the extent possible, maybe provide one alternative on LOP up to 14.5 inch as the bigger bore recoil will need it. I bet buyers wouldn't have an issue with a slight upcharge on the increased LOP option. 458 Lott buyers can wait last... Please and thank you.
