[QUOTE="bluefinger, post: 890406, member: 20419"] I was in the same boat a few years ago. I bought a Kimber Montana in 300 WM and I couldn't be happier. The first load that I worked up with 180 gr. Nosler Accubonds print into nice little clover leaf shaped groups that average between .5 and .75" shooting off of bags. This is at 100 yards. I did adjust the factory trigger to a comfortable pull weight before shooting it. Mine has a very nice crisp trigger. The rifle will kick you like a rented mule, but its a compromise. You're going to have that with any light weight rifle in a caliber that is suited for Elk or Moose. My thoughts on that were that in reality I would spend 99% of the time carrying the rifle and maybe 1% or less actually firing it. [/QUOTE]
