[QUOTE="30 Hammer, post: 1429839, member: 100604"] I second this advice. I recently won a Kimber MA in 6.5CM - out of the box wasn’t worth having - but with just a few simple things it has me in in love. Re crown muzzle. $45.00 Front scope mount base screw - cut the bottom two threads off. (Hits barrel.) $0.00 Front action screw - cut bottom two threads off - is too long. $0.00 Mag box - check for clearance / I took a bit of material out inside the stock. 2 min of time and $0.00. Bed stock / float barrel $65.00 Adjust trigger - I took mine down to 1.2lbs before any slam fires and had to get after it just right at that point. Now I have it at 2.25lbs and it is sweet. $0.00. Install supplied muzzle brake. $0.00 With that I have a gun that is extremely lightweight and is a rack driver. Even at full retail it would only be about $1,900.00 with the stuff the gunsmith did (bedding and muzzle crown). A guy could have the action trued and a custom barrel if you want to. I am seriously looking at a 280AI or a 300wsm in the Mountain Ascent now. [/QUOTE]
