Maybe so, but is the fact that it's not gonna stop you from buying a Kimber? No it wouldn't, but it does seem odd that Kimber wouldn't spring for the paltry amount of $$$ to make a mag box out of SS. If I lived in a very wet environment, I'd simply sent the CM mag box out to Birdsong, like I've done with my Remmy triggers and CM scope mounts.

Mechanical concessions,are not advantages.
A high-fenced Titty Shoot,has never been,nor ever will be...a barometer of evaluation for anything,except humor.

It's never not hilarious,to grant Window Lickers opportunity to "think".
Few could begin to fathom,a thing called weather...though they "think" they can.
Funny how it actually works................

With a S/S box installed,I'd not be looking to score a C/M replacement,as a mechanical "advantage"...................(grin)

Weather??? what does that translate to in Texican? does it have something to do with hunting conditions? Quien Sabe, Jose Canusee PS: Me gusta chi-chis mas tan grande, es mejor que nada, yo creo.

The local shop has a Montana in 25-06. Maybe I'll buy it and have it re-barreled in 7x57 - just to see the reaction here. But I would need to replace the "chitty" parts.....so I can fully pretend to shoot in extreme conditions (like when it's not 80 and sunny here in California)

You'll do yourself favors,by thinking bullets first. Hint.
Though I enjoy the inherent hilarity of watching the Clueless...simply do their best.........................

I don't think rebarreling one for essentially a 7x08 when you can buy a 7x08 makes a whole lot of financial sense. But rifle loonies seldom spend wisely...

10 yrs ago who would have thought we'd see Big Stick extolling the virtues of a non-Remington, CRF, non-Mcmillan stocked, non x-bullet shooting, non .25 cal rifle, not wearing a leupold scope but a chicken scope The times they are a changin!!! Mike

Light done right,has never not been THE focus.
The Montucky is the pick of the litter and by light years.................

At the risk of getting beat up I will admit after my first I could easily sell the lot and replace them with Montanas. My Remy Ti's are getting lonely since the new girl came home.
No I wont sell the Ti's, just saying I like my Kimber a whole bunch and it shoots as well as any of the other .308's.
Good Shooting!

Cite the rifle that loses zero,setting idle...inside the house.
Just one.
Laughing!............... This one shoots just fine, when it's warmed up, and you keep the barrel at about the same temp. Let it cool off, and it will shift zero... The inside of the barrel looks like someone forgot the lube when it was rifled

I'd prefer the Montucky to be PF and wear a 3" box...but they connect more dots than anyone else.
Trigger rocks,8-40's is soothing,the stock is killer and if it didn't make noise,you wouldn't even know you had it with you..................(grin)
