Weight isn't really an issue, at least not in the direction you are speaking. I will say I am a little concerned with the weight (or lack thereof) of the Kimber Montana, I sometimes wonder if the rifle is so light that any shooter error would be greatly amplified or if accuracy would be up to par with such a light rifle.

Do you have any experience with the Kimber Montana? I have read horror stories about Kimber's QC being less than satisfactory and am a little weary of paying Kimber prices without any accuracy guarantee. I am a huge fan of the mauser type claw extrator and the winchester type 3 position safety though.
