I have a 7mm-08 Montana, which I bought used. After fooling around with it, I eventually sent it to Pac-nor for a barrel, asking them to match length & contour, with a 1 in 9" twist tube, with poly rifling.

So far, it seems to shoot well. Last weekend the best 3 shot group at 200 yards went into 1.05". And more importantly, the POI holds whether the barrel is hot or cold.

I also have a .257 Roberts Classic Select, that I bought from a family member. So far it seems to shoot decently well, though I haven't worked with it, much. It may go deer hunting this year, depending on how it shoots.

Kimber makes some really neat designs, both pistol, and rifle, and sometimes they really shoot well. And sometimes they cut corners and put chit components on them, like the crap barrel on my 7mm-08.

YMMV. But they are pretty, and feel good smile
