[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1223892, member: 82202"] I shot a Kimber Montana in 300 WSM and less than 6 pounds the recoil was surprising to say the least. More than my 300 win mag W/O brake. The Kimber montana in 30-06 has a muzzle diameter of .560. That's just to small for .338 diameter bullets if you're going to stick with that contour. The 280 AI should be pretty sweet for all the game you mention as long as there not really large. Even if they are you'll be okay with good shot placement and everything I have read about the 280 AI says their accurate. For .338 caliber I would want a contour with a muzzle diameter of .650 minimum. They will all shoot of course but .560 -.338 is looking like a pretty light and whippy firearm where .560 -.284 not so much. Good luck and shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
