I ordered my Montana actions with 25" barrel in 416 Remy end of barrel will have .7 OD. Will order the Accuracy Innovations laminated stock.

Who would be a good smith to install a barrel band sling attachment to barrel and I like the front sights with the band also. Will find rear sight with 2 leaf, even though it will never be used. Any smiths close to Louisiana?

Will install Leupold QD and have one scope with Leupold 1.5 x 5 with 30 mm tube and ill. ret. and will get a 2.5 Leupold compact for a backup scope.

Will have the gun teflon coated by Birdsong when all is finished. Blueing is prettier, but I have teflon coated several rifles already and like the durability.

Thanks

Congratulations on the new rifle!

Ass far as gunsmiths in your area, I have seen others recommend David Christman:

I have not used him so I have no personal information. Butch Lambert seems to know him fairly well so you might check with him.
