It makes zero sense to go with Night Force and weight has nothing to do with it. To make it worthwhile Night Force must be mated to marksman rifle to be used by expert marksman. While I can not make assumptions about your shooting skills because I do not know you I'm pretty certain Kimber Montana is mass produced hunting rifle.
Light weight Leupold is good match for your Kimber Montana.


A few Montana groups from a couple of different rifles/chamberings. Each was shot from prone, off of either a pack or a piece of denim filled with beans, in varying terrain (aka no benches- field-esque conditions)...
