[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1229079, member: 82202"] My 700 CDL SF has a muzzle diameter of .642. I don't own the Kimber Montana but its lighter than the CDLSF. In 260 Remington .642 is sufficient and light enough to carry. .625 would be a little light for my tastes with a .284 bore. I don't think I would go with .750 that would be more than enough. My Accumark 6 lugs are .720 and not a great burden to carry on long hikes. The same thing in a 26" can become a bit heavy. All that said there is a lot of personal preferences involved. IMO .684 would be my minimum on the .284 bore .200 on both sides will give you good accuracy and not real heavy. I am in agreement with JE though and generally speaking the heavier the barrel the better they shoot. Good luck with your new acquisition in any case. Shoot straight Bob [/QUOTE]
