[QUOTE="Bbear, post: 1418162, member: 7898"] Kimber Montana -pros - lightweight - nice aesthetics -cons - hit or miss on accuracy as stated earlier. Though it seems that more are hit than miss. Tikka T3/T3x - accuracy out of the box (do they still promote the 3-shots under an inch?) All of the one's I own/owned/shot have shot under an inch. Some even better. - reliable action with either a used T3 or new T3x models - synthetic stocked rifles are fairly light weight (regular T3 advertised at 6.3/16 lbs, Superlite comes in under 6 lbs) -cons - Beretta (owners of Tikka) has poor customer service - T3's have a noisy synthetic stock, the T3x does not. Caliber suggestions. If you're wanting a light recoiling round for hunting on your place and target shooting I'd suggest the following: 260 6.5x55 7mm-08 If bigger game is on your list (elk, stag etc) I'd suggest the following 7mm-08 308 270 280 30-06 Thought both the 260 and 6.5x55 will take the larger game quite well, the suggestion of the 7mm-08 would allow you to shoot a heavier projectile than what is available in the 6.5's. But, you would more than likely be adding in some additional recoil. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
