I'm open to suggestions on rifle manufacturers. Kimber is out of my price range. Like to keep it around $750.
Don't be in a hurry,to make a bad decision.
Rat hole the 750,until you can do it right...which means Montucky...............
not necessarily
I will agree with the don't get in a hurry and save part,
and
pre-enjoyed Sakos can be found with a little looking, many times for less and with Sakos, you're typically not playing Kimber-roulette, as the Sakos tend to be shooters.
Best,

PS: Of the two, IMHO, the 7-08.
