Nice shooting Sam, though you probably could tighten 'em up a little if you'd put on some blue tape....grin
I am really starting to drool over .243 Montuckys. Dang you Campfire! There are some really nice 243 Foresters around....

Hey Sam, that's a nice all terrain 270 you got there! I had contemplated getting a 270 Montana, but when I saw the nice piece of wood on the Classic Select it just said, "Take Me Home!"

Flave, thanks for the kind words but much like the rifle, I am also a POS.
Hawk and Ben, the 243 MT is also a royal POS. No doubt the Sako is a POS as well.
OC, I tried PMing TAK for some POSP(piece of chit pointers) but so far he hasn't got back to me.
M, let me guess, your Classic Select 270 is an UBER POS?!
In all seriousness here is the list of things I did to the rifle.
Bedded it.
Adjusted trigger(it's not perfect but good enough).
Polished up the feed 'rails'.
Zero other issues.
I also did order a longer 'lug' screw. The factory version is a touch too short post-bedding.
It might have shot fine without bedding

Does anyone know what material they use for the current production Montana trigger guard?
I read they use aluminum for the Ascent so I am assuming the same is used for the Montana?
Sam, All the new Montana's coming into the shop have the same trigger guard as the Ascent. They also have the new shiny trigger. I don't know if they ran out of the old trigger guards or just changed to aluminum to save weight and production cost. I may email them and find out. Weight savings wouldn't be much, so I'm guessing it was a cost cutting measure.

I have the same gun and scope and they are also a POS!
Rather be a Toyota, though😀
Had a feeling you'd suffer your results, Sam! Nice shooting!

Well Sam, I don't know if it's an Uber POS, but I do know I'm a slut for pretty wood stocks!
I hear the local LGS has Berger VLD Hunting .277 140's in stock. We'll see if this one likes 'em. I've been shooting 150 BT's for so long I might have to learn a new trajectory chart.

Thanks for the info Darrik. An ounce or two won't make a difference to me but for whatever reason I would prefer stainless.
Flave, comparing me to the greatest pickup of all-time is an UBER compliment. Thanks man, it really means a lot.
4winds, sorry to hear you got swindled by Kimber. I guess you could always trade it in on a Tikka.
Ingwe, now you have me thinking.....
Throw in a 4-16x50 sniper scope(under $100 of course) and we might have a deal.
M, what powder/charge weight and velocity do you get with the 150 BT's?
I'm gonna load up some 140 Accubonds this weekend and see how they do.

Sammo...I can do the scope no problem. I'll just mail order a BSA " Sweet .270" and we will be all set!

FWIW, I just got back in from another test. Shot a 10 shot group at 395 yards. Still breezy(5-15mph) but not too bad. I checked the target after each shot and knew the bullet that landed at 6 o'clock was a pulled flyer so really other than that poor shot the group wasn't too bad considering. Roughly 6-7" inches across but at least the vertical spread was decent. Not holding for wind, aimed at the dot for each shot. I'd go hunting with this load and not worry one bit(58 grs H4831sc and 150 Partition). Virgin(un-sized) brass as well and I expect neck sized(fired) brass will help with accuracy. Does anyone know what material they use for the current production Montana trigger guard? I read they use aluminum for the Ascent so I am assuming the same is used for the Montana? Gotta be the natty light and not rilfe.... you give it the SAS treatment?

Sam, Did you call Kimber and specify a longer screw when ordering? My 270 Montana, bought here on the 'fire, was bedded by the PO and the screws grabs but two threads at best.

Poobs, great idea! MM, I agree! CLB, still haven't shot it on a calm day yet! I did do the SAS checklist, Talley screws were okay, mag-box all good. Bedded it(like all my rifles), and lightened up the trigger, that was it. That and the below tip. Ed, this is the way to go. I forget who figured it out but someone mentioned it a few year ago. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/156089/remington-rear-trigger-guard-screw-700-adl-bdl-hex-headIt will probably be too long so compare it to your Kimber screw and trim accordingly. I had to do the same thing with a 243 and now the 270. After bedding the original screw didn't grab enough for my liking so I replaced with a little longer screw. You can take the bolt out and look down into the action and see the lug screw hole. That's the easiest way to make sure the screw isn't too long and bottoming out. The Tikka guys would probably have an aneurysm figuring this out....
