Nice pair! My 6.5 CM sure likes the Barnes 127 LRX.
Let us know how they shoot for you.

Not being married to any particular political party sure makes it a lot easier to look at the world more objectively...
Having said that, MAGA.

My 2 main hunting rifles are in those same chamberings. The 6.5CM in a Tikka T3x Lite and the .308 in a Tikka T3x SuperLite. There is very little in North America you can’t accomplish with those 2 rifles.

Tom,
With three sons, all shooters and two handloaders I am looking for threes that I see disappearing or near so. I'll post such soon on the Single Shot forum. Our friend Lee was instrumental...

Wow. They look great.
Do you have a photo of the thread protectors?
Kimber won’t even sell to Australia at the moment. Don’t know what’s going on. Bloody company was started by an Aussie!
Like you I recently bought a pair. An Adirondack 308 and a Montana 270WSM. To go with my .223 Montana, 6.5CM Hunter and 3006 Classic. Have a spare Montana stock and fittings so the 6.5 might see a little change yet, not sure.

Lol. I have the same pair, except mine is Montana (308) and Huner (6.5 C). I bought the 6.5 just to shoot economically (35 gr powder vs 45-46 in 308) plus recoil less than the 308. As much as I hate to say it, I understand the 6.5 Creed now that I've shot it more than a bit.
I'm with you on the future of some of the Kimber rifles. I snagged a Mountain Ascent 7mm RM recently. They only made it 3 years but it is a solid rifle. Easily hit 3000 with a 175 ABLR. Recoil with the brake is about like 6.5 Creed recoil - I don't lose the sight picture at all. The brake won't be part of the long term equation but for finding pressure/vel, trying a bunch of different powder/bullet combos, it don't suck.
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.
