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

[Hooked Now]

Weight is just over 8lbs without the scope. Center of mass is right at the front action screw for carry balance.

Lefties are in the works, but I can't give you a firm date.

Pre-64 M70 trigger geometry. Sear and trigger are wire EDM cut A2 tool steel, hardened and tempered to 56-59 Rc. Trigger is TiN coated for slickness. For those that must "upgrade" the trigger, an M70 non-MOA Timney will fit.

The Brooks is the Tsavo's sibling with a McMillan's Supergrade stock. It retains the integrated pic of our standard rifles, but keeps the barrel band and irons (fiber optic front for the Brooks). I believe it will have stainless tone Cerakote. The attached image is the initial 375 H&H test gun in raw stainless. Sorry, but the production rifles won't have my awesome rattle can paint job. Also shown is a directional brake that didn't make the cut. It works well, but holy h3ll, it's obnoxious. This rifle is at McMillan right now getting the production inlet fine tuned.

If there's a list to get on in terms of expressing keen interest in one of these (say in .416 RM), please let us know.

Well, since the initial/current offering is a medium bore, I would say chances are good. . Sorry, it was on a tee.

Medium bore caliber but Magnum Action, and considering most of the other popular Medium Bores like 9.3x62, .35 Whelen, .338, .300 win use Long Actions. This may be a problem if they are only making magnum receivers. So hence my question will this be made in medium bore calibers such as 9.3x62 or not. Because at that price, I would prefer to have the right action.

@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.

At the SCI show this year these guys had a .375H&H rifle, looked very similar to this gun, they were quoting 3800.00. I am curious to know if that gun was the same as this gun, or if it a something different. The gun at the SCI show weighed 8lbs and I do not recall it having a muzzle brake or a threaded barrel for a muzzle brake.
