[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1833855, member: 77249"] I bought a Kimber Montana in 2004, getting ready to retire. It was advertised Melvin Forbes of NULA designed the Montana stock, His stocks seem to tame recoil. I bought a 300 WSM for a light high country Elk, Mule Deer rifle. I installed a Leopold 2.5-8 VXII series scope with Kimber bases and Leopold rings, With a nylon sling and 4 Shells, Weight 7lb. 6oz. I loaded some jacket core bullets and went to the range. At 100 yds. 150 gr. 1 1/4", 165 gr.1" and 180 gr. went in 9/16" groups. Shoots Hornady, Sierra and Nosler Partitions 180 gr. under 1". The action seems to have it all, Pre 64 Win. Extractor and 3 position safety, Sako adjustable firing pin, Bolt release lever. The kimber bolt is unique. With the bolt in battery, Put the safety in the first safety position. Remove the bolt from the rifle, and just twist and remove the firing pin assembly for cleaning and lubing. I read stories about bad accuracy when the Kimber Montana first hit the market. Maybe I just lucked out on this rifle. This rifle has become my go to rifle. [/QUOTE]
