If you look at the Hunter in 6.5CM on Europtic, they say it is expected in May.
Since it is the same barreled action, I would think the Montana would be similar.
FÜCK Jeff_O!

I was thinking we would see a few around by now. Wonder if it would be worthwhile to contact Kimber direct? Or, I could just learn some patience... Just like we're telling customers on the phone, we have no idea when they'll arrive. We had no notice of the 308 Hunters arrival -- they just arrived. Kimber could do a better job of communicating with us so we could relay accurate information to customers, but that's not their style. It kinda pisses me off too. The 6.5 Hunters won't hit the shelf. As soon as they come in, I'll start a thread here. I'll give members here the first shot, same as with the 6.5 Montana's.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

The threaded muzzle is kind of a deal killer for me. I have no need or desire to put a muzzle break or silencers on a lightweight backpacking rifle. Same x10

What if someone made a smooth thread cap that was flush with the barrel. Little loktite for good measure?

Brad is a Kimber fan and owns several and has owned several more. I currently own 2 K22 Classic red pad and an 84M 7-08...Both are pre 2004 two position safety NY made I have only owned 2 others but with those last 2 I won't say there will never ever be another Kimber purchase but not likely....they product is appealing but the customer service is not. But adding threads to the muzzel isn't what I want....ymmv One day I might find a 8400 Montana in 7 WSM

Ted, I know you and Brad are Kimber fans, sorry my post wasn't clear. I was referring to your and Brad's dislike for the threaded muzzle. Regards, David

Here's the beauty we're forced to pay for: Is your issue the fact it hurts when you go all "Mapplethorpe" with it? Nobody is forcing you to pay for anything. Not hard to find a used one, but I think you just wanna complain about something.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

Probably will buy a Montana in Creedmoor, if anyone actually ever sees one.
