This is a great handling, sub 8 lb powerhouse of a rig that is extremely versatile in many hunting situations. I bought this rifle in the new & unfired condition that it remains in to this day. I had intentions to use it on a return trip to Africa that never materialized. It has sat in the back of my safe without picking up a single ding and it appears to be without flaw. The Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36mm with B&C Reticle rifle scope in Talley Lightweight Alloy mounts is also brand new.

$2250 for the rifle and Leupold in the mounts
$1750 for the rifle and the mounts
plus actual shipping fees

That sounds pretty cheap to me! I paid more than that for mine. First and only load I tried was 270TSX and about the third seating depth tried ended up shooting clover leafs. Stopped right there. Great rifle. GLWS.

Surprised this hasn't sold already! MRC is coming out with their new action .375 H&H in a few months and that one starts at $2500 and has "modern conveniences" added to it that make it far less appealing as a classic rifle. I think these "classic" Montana's will start to increase in value quickly as MRC gets back out there again.

Thanks fellas, if I were to run across a good deal on another cape buffalo hunt, this one suddenly wouldn't be available!
