Dober,
Don't know if they actually stopped or was Internet rumor, but I picked up my 7-08 in a Classic Stainless (off Gunbroker) that has zero issues...
Marty Looking at the last 3 years of catalogs, the 7-08 was always listed. This is the first year the .260 is off the charts. Boy, they really crank out the pistols, there must be 75 different models to choose from.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.

Surfing the web last night and came across one on Shedhorn's website....
Jumped on it at $1099.....
My smith has instructions to cut & recrown at 23", skim bed, and set trigger to 3# upon arrival.
There's a Zeiss 2.5-8 Conquest sitting on the bookshelf that will go into a set of Leupold Dual Dovetails.
The wait begins... Ha! I handled that rifle in Shedhorn last week. Congrats'!

All right, y'all have forced me to break out some pics in defense of Montana .284's... Hope the 280AI shoots better than my Montana 7-08... ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/Montana%207-08%20Load%20Work%20Targets/Kimber7-08LoadDevelopment-Groups103.jpg) Not sure how I put up with this thing! My Montana 7-08 shoots a fair bit of stuff pretty well, but it's a little particular about what it really likes best. It will shoot a similar TTSX 120 load under an inch, and shoots Federal Fusions even better - which kind of pleases and annoys me at the same time...grin. Where it really shines, though, is as a hunting rifle! ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/Albany%2010%202007/Albany150102007122.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/Stickers%202008%20LH%20Buck/P1010226.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/LH10Nov2006058.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/2007LH12Point025.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/c17c407d.jpg) [img] http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/2007LH12Point083.jpg[/img] [img] http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/djtex/Bobcat/BioHannahBdayBobcatAlbany2009160-1.jpg[/img] I bet you're going to flat love that 280AI, especially in the field. Hope it works our real well for you! DJ

Nice bucks DJ Where it really shines, though, is as a hunting rifle! Sometimes we get so busy looking at calipers we forget about what those Kimber rifles were designed to excell at. For around 1K, nothing else even comes close.
FÜCK Jeff_O!
