I have been looking at options for a all weather rifle, my Browning has been my bad weather gun. I would like a stainless rifle over the matte bluing on my A-bolt.
Im pretty sure on getting a kimber Montana, it checks a lot of things I like.my pickle is I really like the 7-08 and 280ai. I'm not worried about recoil, but the 84L 280ai may take away from the great feel of the 84M.
as said this will be for bad weather days, probably more days then just the rain/snow days. It has to be good for closer in woods shots but reach out to 400 yards for deer possible black bear, but not likely farther.
in the back of my mind I say the 280ai is best and if I ever do that elk hunt is he better off. Still the light weight of the 7-08 will be nice tho I'm a big guy a few oz don't matter and I'm not mountain climbing.
for scopes I was thinking leupold vx-3i maybe a 2.5-8 for the 7-08 and the 3-10 for the 280ai, open to any other scopes around that price.
one other question, I see there are different color Montana stocks. The only one in kimbers site are the green, but I see the light color and the dark color stocks.
so what would you get and why.
thanks.
