I had PacNor do a .223AI with an 8 twist. Sucker shoots. I have no idea if they trued it or not.
I bought a reamer and an X caliber 8 twist blank and had ITD dupe contour and chamber 6 Dasher. Sucker shoots. No idea on the he trued it or not.
Bad ass little rigs.
Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!

The 223 shoots three shots less than MOA at 200 but Form'd gave me some crap so I shot five. ![[Linked Image]](https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5444/30461727061_cfeb408b61.jpg) Well played, sir.

Hawkins rings, one piece, 20 moa, level comes in the top cap. Really nice fit and finish! I like talley but these rings look and feel like they are made a lot better. I didn't even lap them. Sturdy and the 20 moa, level top half really make the hawkins rings a better option. The dbm is Hawkins too.

It looks like a 9 pound rifle, not sub-7 and a nice host.

That weight was without the scope but included the rings. I don't think I had installed the front pic rail yet, when I weighed it.

Guess I should have had NEW Kimber Montana re barreled. I bought a new Kimber Montana 270WSM that shot poorly, about 2" groups at 100 yards.
Tried many loads, with not much improvement.
Sent it back to Kimber.
They returned with no modifications and with a three shot test target that was 1.25" at 50 yards and said it was in spec.
Sold the POS and had Jim Kobe build me a 270 WSM on a Rem 700 with a light McMillan stock and went sheep hunting.
That rifle was easy sub 1" for five shots at 100 yards.

Funny it doesn't look like a Kimber. Nice stick but the question was Kimber. We do accept the ADD on the site. TFF

Hey guys, I'm kicking around picking up a used Montana. The rifle is in excellent shape but honestly in a. A caliber I have no use for. My thought is to have re-barreled to 6.5 SAUM or a 7mm SAUM. I know that the Montana has a pretty good following on the fire. I guess I'm wondering what thoughts are on the Montana as a donor rifle. Also what would be a good price for good used montana? I think I could get into the rifle for $700 or so. I just don't know, I'm looking for some moral support I guess. Sorry only reference is kimber montana. Not trying to be a smart ass but!
