Sometimes I wish I had never bought a second centerfire rifle -my old 1979 BDL 25-06 would have worked just fine for about everything I've ever hunted.
Piecing things together with all the custom parts and pieces to be had today can be an endless pursuit . A factory rifle is a step towards recovery --I hope.
I actually like the stock on the Adirondack -where I hunt here in florida we have dark bark pine trees -green stuff and white sand in the swamps I hunt so the camo pattern would work pretty good here .
Also I figure the threaded barrel might work out nice during load development by screwing on a break .
So thanks alaska lanche -but I don't want anything for this rifle except a set of talley lows and then choose a scope.
If I have to monkey with the bedding -magazine box -etc. -so be it -then lap the rings and head to the range to work up a load that will shoot about 1.25" group. Then head out hunting.

Anybody know COAL for the Kimbers ?
