[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1925803, member: 10755"] I have 2 lightweight rifles I regularly use for LR while stalking in rugged mountains. I have a few of each in differing calls. They are Kimber 8400’s in either Classic or Montana configuration in 300WM & 338WM, or Winchester Model 70 EW’s in 300WM & 338WM. Either of these run right around 8.5lbs slung/loaded and using bags can safely take game to 800+mtrs. Have even used my pack as a rest and taken hame beyond 700mtr. I don't see the QC problems with Kimbers like there was in the early days anymore. My rifles, which I have Classics, Selects, Super America’s & Montana’s all shoot very small groups in the knowledge that they are NOT target rifles and require slow fire to keep those skinny barrels from heating up and walking shots. With their limitations, they do an astounding job if you look after them and let them cool between groups and only shoot 3 round groups. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
