[quote=JMR40] That pic sealed it. Kimber ordered. Hopefully be here by Monday. So what caliber did you order? Look up shortactionshooters Kimber thread somewhere on here for a few tweaks. And yes, there are lots of people who say you shouldn't have to do anything to a 1000-1200 rifle, but the tweaks are minimal and most people will do them regardless of what they buy. FYI: I'm very happy with my three Kimbers (.223, .257 Roberts, and .280 ai).

The S2 isn't even in the same Universe as a Montucky,despite my actually thinking rather highly of twin-lugged Weatherbys in general. That in regards to weight,balance,handling,quality of componetry...and long before the sweep of S/S blowing the doors offa all things CM,that isn't chrome-lined.
Cerakote is a [bleep] joke,as a best case scenario. Though points awarded for the humor of a Coated Salvage 99 wearing flip-flop rings,as a Window Licking Trump Card. Funny schit!
I've been around alotta Montuckies(understatement) and have yet to see one that didn't dazzle. Though I have seen guys who cain't load,or savvy rifles,think they've gotten a "bad" one. Starting At The [bleep] Start,do reliably bear fruit and nip all "weirdness" in the buds. Hint.
Today is assuredly gonna be another Montucky Day and I might even schlep one that's coated...in paint. Weather that'd rate the National News anywhere else,is simply called "Tuesday" here.
Hint.

I've had/got stainless, then ventured into the current coating fad with one rifle.
Here's the truth, Stainless is forever, Coatings can be damaged just as easily as an any other "topping". All coatings wear and will eventually dissapoint you, Save yourself the time and Money.
Coatings, Men's Make-up for metal....
The next name for a coating, maybelline for Men.

Matt Yore of Sawtooth Rifles in Colorado did the rifles, and did a really fine job. If they made 99's in stainless, I'd be a big buyer. Stocks were lightweight models (drilled out in back) wood, and painted.

I had my 260 Monatana Cerakoted. Best of both worlds. Stainless isn't 100% stainless.

sns2, I'm afforded the luxury,of not being forced to guess. You'd do well to be taking notes and applying same. Hint. 'bore, S/S or bust. Literally. Though I do gots me the knack.(grin) 'neth, I've seen me paint S/S. Just sayin'. AMRA, Do tell. How does one lose a bet big enough,to suffer a 99 in 358? Sorry to hear of your bad fortune. rock', Hell...I've seen me paint Chrome Lined spouts. Though in fairness,paint don't aspook me. Would like to try a Montana some day,as I hear good thangs.

Well B, B, Although not everyone hunt's where its cold and wet, or tosses rifles into a crick' I'd have to agree with you on stainless vs. coatings. And although blue steel and wood on a rifle is my first love, Stainless has its place. Best, GWB

AMRA,
You gotta neck the suck out of a 308. Adding suck and going up,is no Trump Card.
Hint.
A REAL '95 chambered for Lion Medicine,would be a nice conversation piece/wallhanger...if one was into that sorta Fluff.
I'm into results,thus the ease in passing upon Turds.
Re-hint.
G,
The Texas Version of everything,is [bleep] hilarious! I enjoy your taking the time to expound upon your High-Heeled Golf Cart/Fence-Hoppin' "Adventures",as a barometer of anything,other than oblivious [bleep] humor. FUNNY schit! As per always...you couldn't knock the new,offa used pair of boots. Laffin'!
Humor Points awarded for windage adjustable rears and CDS,so as to to really make a "hard charging" "stand". Laffin'!
Here's to the perpetual hilarity,of your "best",being sooooooooo incredibly [bleep] shy of any mark. Knock it out of the Park and hang a pic of your Cough Silencer. Laffin'!
Wow +P+.

I too prefer SS over CM.
However, there actually IS an easy way to make CM more corrosion-resistant than SS. The "SS" used in rifle mfg is usually 416R, which is the least corrosion-resistant of the "stainless" alloys, but it's used because it's the easiest to machine.
If you have CM parts salt-bath nitrided (process trade names such as "Q.P.Q."---"Quench-Polish-Quench," "Tenifer," "Melonite," "black nitride," etc.) the resulting treatment actually has much greater corrosion-resistance than chrome or nickel plating and raw 416SS. This process isn't a "plating," it's a nitro-carburized case-hardening treatment that forms a layer of iron nitride on the surface. Appearance-wise, it forms a matte to semi-gloss black surface finish. This is the same surface treatment that Glock, Sig, S&W, etc. uses for their pistol slides and other parts. Stiller uses it on their bolts to prevent galling.
Unlike coatings, if you have a barrel treated, the bore will also be treated, and it doesn't produce a built-up surface layer as a plating or coating would.
There are quite a few companies throughout the US that offer this treatment, and it isn't very expensive compared to most other platings or spray on coatings.
I work in a machine shop, and we offer Q.P.Q. coating on many of our production parts for customers due not only it's corrosion-resistance, but also surface hardness/wear-resistance, resistance to galling, and appearance.
The only downside is it can sometimes warp parts due to the high bath immersion temps, if the part wasn't properly stress-relieved before treatment.

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Wow +P+. Boxer, I am just a OLD MAN who has had his 4th Prostate Surgery paid for out of pocket. My Winchester 1895 405 WCF is a gift from the wife as is my 270 WBY and my Mark V ULW 30-06 both with FX-3 6X42 HD scopes. I have NEVER hunted outside Alabama and from what the Dr`s tell me I likely NEVER will. You know a whole lot more than I ever will about guns,what`s best,what will not work. But what I have now will have to do for the time I HAVE LEFT. AMRA

Boxer's pics are a good illustration of what will rust when you don't completely coat everything the right way. That is one of the reasons I use Birdsong as they coat everything except the bore and chamber which if you're coating a SS rifle to begin with you're covered for just about anything mother nature throws your way.
