I patiently await to see my first "Bad Montucky". Hint.

I've shot a herd which were billed so,but correct assembly and poking Reupolds on shelves,resolved all. Hint.

Have a goodly pile of Mail to sort and need to remove a MK4 M1 4.5-14x from a 7-08 Montucky and scope it proper,for THE Win. Hint.

Hopefully the BC's are there in the pile,somewhere. Hint..................

As plainly cited prior,1-12" RPM in .308",will more than stabilize all things that will fit/feed the magbox. Hint.

Coming full circle,pass the 155 Skinners. Hint................

Let me know if you pass on it.

Twist is super easy to measure. Why not measure it to know for sure, rather than rely on internet guesses?

Of course 1993 was a long time ago grin
Really? Hmm... seems like it was just yesterday 🤔

No kidding. Wasn't that like 10 years ago. lol

Would you rather have 6.5 or 7 Montucky? Found a 6.5CM for $750. Not sure I can pass that up.

The 7-08 Montucky is "plagued" like a 308 Montucky,in that their issued guise will simply stabilize everything that nestles mag confines. I'm squirting 162 ELD's in the above rifle. Hint.

Now as to a 264 Kreed or 7 Whizzum,they're VERY different animals,on VERY different receivers/stocks. The OEM 7 Whizzum will Smooch and nestle .796 BC 180 ELD's and things simply don't get better than that. The 3" 'box really do favors there. Hint.

As an "All Arounder",the 264 Kreed certainly shoots softer and .697 BC 147's don't suck,even without an ability to Smooch. It outpaces the 7-08/162 melding and that's heap big praise. Where did you see one for $750?!? Hint.................(grin)

No kidding. I don’t think I’d linger on a $750 montana; even in this market.

That's cheap enough to build a 22Creed on.........

Kimber changed the rate of twist on the Montana model chambered for .308 Win in 2016 (I think but maybe 2015) from 1:12" to 1:10" twist rate. I have owned several of both and could tell no difference in the accuracy shooting mostly 150 grain handloads, they have all been very accurate....Hb

With a 1-12",the magbox COAL is THE fhuqking limiting factor. Hint.

Same goes 1-8",9" and 10". Hint.

You CLUELESS Drooling Dumb Fhuqks are a hoot and remain tangled in your Fhuqktardation! Hint.

Just saying................
