[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1165222, member: 77249"] Back2bowhunting. When the Kimber 8400 Montana WSM series came out 2003 or 2004. Their first advertisements listed Melvin Forbes of Ultra Lite Arms for designing the stock for the 8400 Montana Series. Mr. Forbes is very respected for designing rifle stocks that make recoil acceptable on Magnum light weight hunting rifles. The felt recoil with my 300 WSM 180 Gr. hunting load is about the same as 140 Gr. or 150 Gr hunting loads out of my 700 Rem. 270 Win. The rifle kicks straight back not up and into your face. I done 2 things to this rifle when I got it. I polished the trigger with 8000 grit stone and adjusted it to 3 lb. I also loaded 40 cast Gas Check bullets coated with fire lapping compound, cleaning every 5 shots, Then cleaned barrel before I started shooting jacketed bullets to develop a hunting load. I am very happy with this rifle. But there is a lot of good and bad reviews on this rifle on the internet forums. Good Luck in your choice, Happy Hunting. [/QUOTE]
