    Montana Rifle Company .416 Rem Mag

    Nice Rifle. Only issue I had with mine was feeding different makes of ammo. Montana smoothed it out, the trigger is crisp and one of the very best coming from the factory.

    Alaska Airlines question regarding ammo

    Tape the ammo boxes both ends so that they will not open. Place the ammo in a bag that you intend to check. make sure that the bag is packed so that items do not bounce around in it causing the boxes of ammo to bust open.

    Pulling front or back trigger first

    Checking your trigger pull for both triggers. One trigger will be less than the other trigger. That is the one that the gun was set up to shoot first.

    Buying Ammo in Africa

    I am sure you are mistaken, as that would be against the law. When you leave an African country you are asked about your ammunition that you brought into the country. What do you tell them? Now, if you forget to pack your ammo and it is mistakenly left behind that is another thing.
