Good mojo no doubt! I would not get rid of that rifle. Nice buck!

Edit: like the paint job on the rifle too.

Dang buddy that looks good, shoots and has great wood. Can't beat that. laugh


JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

That thread a while back about "what would the old gunwriters be shooting/carrying now"?. JOC would have one of these.

Thanks. It's my favorite "walking stick" these days.

A few years back some one bought it new on a Tuesday, shot a half a box of shells through it and traded it back in immaculate condition on a Thursday. I fell in love at first sight and paid a bit over half what he had. It was one of my all time best snags. I'm told they don't make SA's in .223 any more.

Could someone tell me the serial number for models of the Montana made in 2011-12. I just ordered a Montana in .223 and when it gets here I'd like to know the manufacturers date.

The serial number and date of manufacture should be on the box itself.

Thanks! Pics were taken where he dropped. The TSX took him quartering to on the point of the shoulder. Exit was just past the last rib on the off side. He made it about 150 yards, over a fence, and crossed a creek with 10 foot banks before folding. I snaked him back with a block and tackle.

Travis,
Karnis is right. I haven't scene many dated Kimbers more than 6 months old. There is a pretty quick turnaround to the retail market. I had a .204 Montana and it was a shooter but loonyism took over. There will be another by the spring.
