So I have an itch that I have been wanting to scratch for a while and the fix is the following...
Kimber Mnt Accent - 280 Ackley w/ a SWFA 3-9X
Idea is a mountain rifle/backpack rifle that could be used in longer range when needed (6-700 yards max for me)
Could i do any worse? Rifle - 5 pounds/5oz Scope - 19 oz Rings - 2-3oz
Puts me at 6 pounds 11-12oz...not too shabby
It's a good idea.
NF instead of SWFA
I imagine you'll get one that is fine, but this one was an epic chit show. Horribly cut chamber, stock really jacked up, and needed every trick. It started off shooting terrible... and never got much better..... until a new barrel.
Took a lot of work to go from 4+ MOA to this...
Then a lot more to get to this and it's the best it ever got...
