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.

Coming full circle,pass the 155 Skinners. Hint................ Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

I would have bet it was a 10. Of course 1993 was a long time ago Really? Hmm... seems like it was just yesterday 🤔 No kidding. Wasn't that like 10 years ago. lol Camp is where you make it.

Big Stick Campfire Kahuna Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 58,615 Likes: 10 Paradise,Alaska	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) Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not exactly like this was likely going to be somebody's groundhog rifle shooting light bullets. Magazine length? Conduct is the best proof of character.

VaHillbilly Campfire Outfitter V Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 7,760 SW Virginia	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
