[QUOTE="bedrok, post: 395419, member: 25202"] Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm enjoyong all the good ideas posted here. As for Kimber, I've hunted with the Montana in 7WSM for 4 years and I'm maybe 50% satisfied. It's the pickiest rifle for brass I've ever owned. I have a batch of carefully prepared Norma (made from 300WSM) that will shoot several loads at 3/4 m.o.a. as long as I don't bump the shoulder over .001", past that and the groups go to 2 m.o.a.- It hates any load in Winchester brass and shoots Federal "Vital Shock" factories better than anything I can cook up in the Winchester but just the other day I shot a box of federal factory that were given to me that said "160 gr soft pt. " on the box and it shot it over 3 1/2 m.o.a. while I could switch back to my handloads and shoot 3/4 every time. I'm not to concerned about it not shooting factories well but it just shows a crudely machined chamber, bolt face, etc. Not what I would expect from a $1000 gun. [/QUOTE]
