Once the parts were received, Dan Coffin of Coffin Gunsmithing started putting the rifle together.

My dream came to reality shortly after being confronted by a couple of Cape buffalo bulls while hunting plains game in South Africa. Immediately upon returning to the States I stopped into Coffin Gunsmithing’s shop in Victor, Montana, where Dan Coffin and I ironed out plans for a brand new custom big-bore Rifle. Ever since 1990 Dan has been in the employment of the country and western singer, Hank Williams, as Hank’s private gunsmith. Recently, however, Dan has been taking on additional work building both bigbores and varmint rifles. He has a tremendous amount of experience constructing bigbores and soon we had the beginnings of a rifle plan on the table. I agreed to do much of the leg work in obtaining component parts, which primarily came from the mail order house of Brownells, while Dan would see to getting the CZ 550 action and the Montana Rifleman barrel ordered.

We felt the CZ stock trigger (left) needed modifying. Our newly revised trigger (right) eliminated the set trigger mechanism and moved the trigger farther back.
