[QUOTE="Weatherby Fan, post: 1479094, member: 29953"] Ok so at the last 2 day gun show near my hometown some smooth talking gentleman come by the booth when I was proudly displaying my new 6.5CM Kimber Montana my gunsmith had tuned up for me and it wasn't for sale but somehow that chap left with my rifle and scope [IMG]http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif[/IMG] So Ive been without a lightweight rig since then...... I was wanting to build another 6.5 Creedmoor and Gunsmith Gary says nope lets do a Kimber Montana 84M in 6.5-284, so with about 4 seconds of arm twisting he had me convinced this is what I needed. I want it to be really light Gary but in that caliber and that light its going to need a brake.......Ok he says no problem................................ I scrounge up some parts and drops em off on Garys bench on Sunday......he says you know I'm retired right ? yeh ok buddy but I need it by Thursday.......[IMG]http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/IMG] I didn't say which Thursday.......and he didn't ask ! Kimber Montana 84M donor rifle- 6.5-284 Action Slabbed, Custom hand made alloy bolt knob, lightweight trigger guard Gary opened up the mag box to take factory ammo 22" Benchmark #1 contour,1-8 twist 5R barrel with a custom muzzle brake with holes on 3 sides not the bottom. Cool green paint job and my fav Sheep logo and a high comb added, and a neat Pewter Gunkote For now I topped it with a Zeiss V4 4-16x44 to do my sight in then Im switching to a Leupold VX3i 3.5-10x40 with an MOA dial to keep the weight down to just under 6 lbs As usual it turned out awesome, it feeds like a dream and spits the shells out like a CRF should Thanks Gary you do pretty good work for a retired guy !
