Very nice write up.
What get's me is the anti Kimber guys will do most of what you stated to other rifles and not complain. But when you do the extra work to a Kimber, it's a POS!
I dunno, maybe $600 vs $1100 might have something to do with it? Bozo . . . the stock alone is worth the difference. Which $600 rifle doesn't wear Tupperware? Fuggin idiot 
FÜCK Jeff_O!

Bone support, muscular relaxation, natural point-of-aim. I get paid to teach that [bleep] to people.
They should ask for a refund. Travis

Yep, if'n you know what to look for, it sounds pretty simple, all that plus a recrown. What is truly sad is, when you mail the POS back to Kimber, with all that [bleep] wrong with the rifle, they box it right up and mail it back to you.

You phugging douche bag.
I've known a few SOTIC grads. They could shoot just as well as your average high school kid in a shooting sports program.
Where do you "teach" shooting? I have half a mind to come take your course and show you up using a Kimber.

Funny most of us replace our stocks with a McMillan and bed our stocks. Replace factory trigger, Fireing pin and spring . True our actions to get a shooter. So [bleep] what. My Kimbers required a bedding job only. 1 hr of MY time .JMO

Tough to keep some folks content...  Maybe you have to be "old" to appreciate something like a Kimber Montana. If you are, you have likely suffered through scouring used gun racks for donors,playing with barrel contours,waiting on lightweight synthetics and chasing smiths who knew what you wanted to get the mess assembled. All in the interest of ending up with something lightweight and maybe 20 years ahead of the factory "learning curve"....even then they didn't quite "get it right" but things got better. I recall one 7 RM that made three trips back to a very patient custom smith for barrel contouring before he finally figured out what I wanted. Today, a Kimber Montana in 7mm WSM or 280AI is about the same thing. For a grand or thereabouts, a Kimber Montana is a marvel and a friggin steal in a light hunting rifle.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

ppppfffftttt..... Kimber's are so pass�. Echol Legends are all the rage now. Every discerning hunter has at least two. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/FOsteology/GIF/biggrinjester.gif)

Randy Cain actually teaches a course called "Practical Rifle" that you could take your Kimber to. There will most likely be a tree there you could wrap the POS around sometime the second day.

I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me out of your fantasies. And BTW, you got the name wrong, it's "smokepole.". Because I do most of my hunting with a muzzleloader. Anything else is just projecting on your part.
