I’d like to see them making Montana’s again. It seems like the only rifles they’re making is Hunter’s.

Called my dealer not long ago and asked about ordering a Hunter (they’re a Kimber Master Dealer). Got a call back the next day and was told to find one where I could as Kimber was busy moving and it’s not likely they be making any for a while.
I ponied up for a Model 70 instead.

Shame if they go away. I snatched up an Montana 7-08 but still haven't tried it yet. But I'm glad I jumped on it when I did.

The Kimber Montana is an excellent rifle.
Which means, since Kimber is an American firearms company, management is looking for any excuse to kill it.

Managment has been doing their best in killing Kimber ever since it opened up in Yonkers

Why did they drop the 308 Montana?

The "they're moving" excuse doesn't hold water. They have been in Alabama for darn near a year. At what point does moving cease to be an excuse. I love their rifles and have several. However, their ideas on chamberings etc frustrates me. I know their primary business is 1911s, but good lord, you have a fantastic rifle that fills a unique niche. Keep the quality up in the right chamberings, and they won't be able to make enough.
I'll be pretty sad if they drop rifle production.

I ponied up for a Model 70 instead. I am interested in a Hunter also , they sure seem to advertise the rifle a lot in the gun mags. Own an 84M in 300win, took it to Africa twice, great gun.

Oh, I found some ”in the wild” as my dealer put it, I just re-thought the concept of a 6 pound .308. My son has a 6.5 I’ve shot, and it’s pretty lively on the bench. Have a couple light 6mms that are easier for me to shoot well.
Try Guns International. Seem to run $800-$900. Some are the black Kimpro finish.
Might be the Plague is slowing them down with their move, like everything else, or their supply chain. All kinds of stuff is hard to come by now.

They are building/shipping Hunters, because there are new stock colors that didn't exist a year ago. See link: Hunter Desolve ProI can't understand why they (apparently) aren't shipping Montanas. Probably a stock sourcing problem?

It wouldn’t be the first time my dealer told me something was unavailble when actually it just wasn’t available to him.

I dropped into a shop today and was told if I wanted a Hunter or Mountain Ascent one, now issues, Montana, forget it. At least the gun counter guy agreed with me the Montana needs to come back.

Maybe they are too busy making the new 22LR bolt guns.
Well, a guy can dream can't he?
