I have a 280AI Montana located that according to the owner has a "shot out barrel". I can get it at a great price and was thinking about picking it up and doing a custom build off of it. However, after reading around, Im a little uncertain of how rigid the actions are.
I can't seem to find any RECENT information where anyone has built on a Kimber action. However what little bit I can find, it seems people question the light weight action flexing too much to be worth messing with.
I can't help but believe that they would be fine for a custom build as the actions are VERY smooth and craftsmanship is outstanding. My thoughts would be to go up one barrel contour over the standard Montana and have the barrel fluted and either free floated or bedded all the way to the end. Thoughts??
