Seems very odd for a classic sporting rifle made of wood to have a rail for scopes.
Few if any .375s feature this irl, instead they tend to have a classic block style mounting for scopes.
This would look much nicer.
Consider changing!

Agreed. Instant ick from that preview.

Please EW, the rail just looks so off

I totally agree

Rail would be a mistake. Just as annoying as the caversham too

Hey so, I found this on Nexus Mods. It's Utherian's Remington 700 mod for Fallout 4. The teaser screenshot of the .375 looks way too close to this mod 🤔

That’s true ! Interesting…

The rail that is above the bolt is the scope support but don't worry, when it is in the game and you remove the scope it will not have that on the iron sight.

The rest of the rifles didn’t showcase the rail, why showcase the rail, we will have to wait and see.
They aren’t strangers to throwing random rails on the iron sights.

The scopes do not attach to the rail or mounts that show on the weapon
Look close and they use the rail attached to the scope. The rail on the .375 is pointless

I mean, there’s only so many ways to make a realistic looking bolt action rifle. Remington 700s and sporting Mausers look a lot a like for good reason. So realistic gun models will look very similar between games.

Fair, but considering the caliber of this particular rifle. The rail is way out of place and totally not necessary. A .375 is typically used for dangerous animals in very fast shooting so a thin front sight blade is weird too. They should be express style sights with either a large bead or thick front post
unborn canopy
I’m just saying there’s no need to bring up mods from other games. EW is plenty capable of making strange choices on their own without copying other people. Case in point: the Caversham.
crystal jetty
Yes, but I don't want to pay for a copy of a free mod either. It doesn't have to be a Remington clone either

How about we ease off the mod talk and wait and see what the devs are cooking?
crystal jetty
Please, ditch the rail so we can see more of our targets

They removed it from a shotgun, maybe they’re listening

That made me so frickin happy, that rail has bothered me since I started playing

It definitely needs gone, no gun shoul have a rail on it unless there’s an optic mounted to it. What I’ll also add is that this gun better be good then I might consider playing cotw again
tight plinth
If they add rails. At least make it useable with iron sights, AND make it so its the 2 piece version. One on front of receiver and one on the rear. At least it would minimalize the look of modern stuff on a historic cartridge/gun combo

Sights like on the bushmaster preview or the Eckers would be perfect. I personally have not seen any open sight safari rifles with just a rail there, it's not aesthetic or useful. A scope can still be mounted just fine without it
This is more of a personal nitpick, but I don't like the ring at the end of the barrel either, it will clog view. I'd rather have as much field of view as I can when hunting dangerous game like the tigers and capes

I believe the ring you are referring to is the front sight hood. It helps protect the front sight and is moderatly common but usually removable. Surprisingly they don't block much of your view because of how thin they tend to be and look good on certain rifles especially safari rifles imo.
candid lion
You're correct, I did actually learn shortly after posting that the ring is very slight when actually aiming.
So for me that isn't a problem anymore in the slightest.

Yea they're barely visible when you're shooting but they have several drawbacks, unless it's got a special notch in it to help with retention then brush can snag it and pull them off ( I lost like 6 before switching to a new front sight for my .30-30)
The other problem is because it covers the front sight with a shadow and in low light or against a dark target it makes the sight look fuzzy and bigger than it should.
I'm kinda afraid it'll look like the iron sight on the .270, it's super thin but the ring is distinct
candid lion
I just hope the actual "pin" on the end of the front post sight is very thin and not blocky like the .300 mag for example
crystal jetty
. 300 CM bolt action sights are hard to use for me, it blends together too much
candid lion
Yea it’s terrible. I hope the .375 sights are in no way similar to that.
crystal jetty
The sights on the .22-250 and bolt .338 are horrible too, I think I like the Malmer 7mm and Olsson. 308 have the best sights in game to me, aside from peep sights like the .303 and M1
candid lion
Rangemaster 338 too
The way it’s sighted is so you need to put that huge block over your target instead of aiming with the tip of the geometry. Makes the open sights totally obsolete
crystal jetty
And the red dot is smashed into your face like it's a magnified scope too, that makes it useless to me as well
I wish they'd done it like way of the hunter
candid lion
Yea the red dot is no good
I want to see my gun if I use a red dot, not just have a 0 magnification scope. The exakt reflex is a good example of a red dot
thin pike
Well that rail is gone
shell shale
Glad to see they listened
civic minnow
Well that rail is gone
But what you're looking at is the .450 here.
That being said, it is also gone on the .375
My issue is that the back of the cocking piece attached to the firing pin is flush with the back of the bolt shroud, whether the rifle is fired or not.
After the rifle is fired, it should be forward.

That's a mauser pattern bolt, that's the shroud over the cooking piece, not the actual spring/pin.
Believe me, it's frikin annoying to remove and clean when the pin breaks

Not just the one in the picture, but the others.

Yup, got my terminology mixed there.
Point still stands
crystal jetty

Yea but in.just showing the .375 has no rail. But yeah, these are just exaggerated shrouds.
Tbh, I'm happy with the .450 too, I expected it to look worse
Hey, the .450 is actually a Winchester model 70 type action, so it doesn't show a change at the rear of the bolt either.
The only one that should is the .300, IF I'm thinking of the right model

It’s exactly what I wanted. I am so stoked to hunt buffalo and stuff with it. But also yes, I’m interested to hear the audio. Hopefully it sounds like a bigger meaner eckers 30-06

This is really welcome news, not saying our post brought about this change but on the off chance that it did thank you for listening to us EW team!
We are all even more excited to try the new pack weapons when they release!

we finally have an appropriate buff basher

We did it!!! #📢︴game-news message

Yeah, it’s fun talking about Africa on it in general. I’d imagine it will turn into an African version of the sundarpaton chat when it was released back in June
