[QUOTE="nevada75, post: 1739856, member: 75285"] I have a early model Kimber Montana in 260 Rem with Leupold VX-2 2-7x33mm scope. Tips the scale at 6.25 lbs give or take. It's a solid 1-MOA rifle and I'm very comfortable shooting deer out to 450 yards. Further than that I get a bit cautious on live animals. Part of that is the small scope but mostly it's me. It's a treat to carry all day and has become my standard rifle for backpack high elevation mule deer hunts, desert sheep hunts, pretty much anything that involves a big difficult hike. Kimber makes a solid rifle in my opinion. One thing to watch is the magazine which is pretty short compared to some rifles. I handload and can't seat bullets very far out. Never a problem finding an accurate load but velocity sometimes suffers with heavy for caliber bullets. Never had problems with factory ammo feeding or anything. Just not able to get that last 75fps with heavies in my handloads. [/QUOTE]
