[QUOTE="azgutpile, post: 1041318, member: 18796"] I have a Kimber Montana 300 WSM that would should 2" groups at 100 yards, and after doing some research, here is the list of things that I found that helped. Now this rifle consistently shoots under an inch at 300 yards. [LIST] [*]Kimber beds their stocks with slave actions, so in my opinion, you need to have someone other than Kimber bed the action. The barrel should be free floating from the recoil lug forward. [*]You need to make sure that the magazine isn't binding between the action and the stock. If you install the stock without the follower and spring, you should be able to feel the magazine move up and down freely. [*]Replace the Leupold rings and bases with the Talley. [*]Follow Kimbers torque sequence when tightening the action screws, the front first then the rear. [*]The Kimber Trigger is adjustable, and you should probably have the pull reduced. I have mine set at 1 1/2 lbs, but I don't chamber a round until I'm ready to shoot. [*]Like you have already done, polishing the barrel helps. Kimber recommended JB bore past to me in the past. [*]Kimbers are known to shoot the Barnes TSX, T-TSX and Nosler Accubonds (Original) are known to shoot really well out of [*]If you feel you need to have your hand on the gun to control the recoil, try placing your hand lightly on top of the scope. [/LIST] Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
