I'd never find a used Montana for the street price on these....if I can assume they're going to sell 50-100 less than msrp. I do agree though for close to same price I'll stay with Montanas. I still am very curious about the reports on these.

The color on the Kimber website almost appears to be a bad photoshop job.

It looked like a computerized 'fake' pic.
Which would make sense given Darrik's report on the stock.

These cheap plastic stocked Kimbers are gonna be the last nail in the Steyr Pro Hunters coffin....

Why the 1:12 twist on the creedmore, that is not great...
Enough already, just shoot it!

The creedmore is 1-12".
But if you order the creedmoor it's 1-8"

A Montana with a plastic stock would make for a nice donor barreled action if McMillan would make a hunting stock for the Montana. I don't know why they don't, as they already have the inlet program for the Kimber tactical rifle.
Some shooting knowledge: Don't stand in front of the muzzle. Some hunting knowledge: Too much noise ruins the hunt.

Check out Oregon Gunsmithing (Pendelton Stocks) as I believe they make a very light stock for Kimber rifles. Not bad looking stocks either. Claimed weight finished is under a pound. [u][size:14pt][color:#000099]Pendleton Stocks[/color][/size][/u]

Seems like a fella would be better off with the Montana if the plan was to put a new stock on it? Not that I always do that...I've plenty mcmillans on 700's 70's and a vanguard.

They show the 22-250 Montana to be 1-12", I would imagine the Hunter would be the same.
What is the longest bullet a 12" will handle, a 60 grain boattail?

62gr Barnes ain't gonna do it, but a 60gr Nosler should work.
I can't figure out WHY so many folks are afraid of twist.

The last new bolt action I bought was a 1-8" twist RAR in 223. The next one I'll buy is when the first maker gets their head out of their ass and comes out with a 1-8" twist 22/250

....if McMillan would make a hunting stock for the Montana. I don't know why they don't, as they already have the inlet program for the Kimber tactical rifle. Most likely because there's very little demand for a stock to replace the Montana stock.

You're probably right. I thought this new Hunter model had a heavier barrel profile ? Doesn't it weight around a pound more (6 1/2 lbs) ? Can't be just the stock adding a pound to that rifle no ? I like the detachable mag feature too on the Hunter. If you could pick up this Hunter for a street price of around $700, add a sub - 16oz custom stock and have a DM feature, you'd have a real nice set-up.

I still am very curious about the reports on these. Perhaps that is why Kimber gave the Montana a 15% hike in MSRP.

I agree on all accounts. I guess they think he masses want threaded barrels too? I wouldn't know because it seems what I want and what the masses want is total opposite.
Scott I still think the twist has some to do with the fellas not understanding which shells to use...grin. Yet they can do it with 223?....who knows

WAG - plastic vs Kevlar 8-10oz? What's a Montana SA stock weigh? Hopefully they'll be true to their heritage - slim and round. If it's stiff and slim, no upgrade needed, just join the waiting list, as CP alluded.
