Personally, I'd wait for the Kimber 84L Montana if I absolutely had to have a light weight 30-06. Otherwise, I'm perfectly content with the 'lil sky 84M Montana in .308
I had the pleasure of purchasing a Kimber 84L rifle in 30-06 from our local Rocky Mountain Elk Chapter Banquet this March.
I may never shoot it, as it is a first run RMEF rifle, and I have a Remington 700 in 280 Rem and Kimber Montana in 300 WSM that I like very much. However, with that being said, I love the feel and balance of the 84L. It is just a great rifle to handle and IMO, about the perfect weight.
I don't know when they will be available on store shelves, but you may want to hold off a bit.
