I saw that the new Kimber tactical rifle has a MCMillan stock. Does McMillan make hunting stocks for kimber rifles as well?

Not to my knowledge, but can't imagine why they wouldn't be big sellers.

It would be a shame to scratch up the great wood that comes on the blued models. But the stock on the Montana models is supposed to be awsome itself, isn't it?

I believe I heard that the stocks were made in Costa Rica, or somewhere like that?? The ones on the Montana aren't made by McMillan, which used to be a theory on here.

In the order of things I'd say the stock on the Montanas is a Good One. Definately not a Great One

I definitely think the stock on the Montana is a top-shelf stock. I still think there would be many who would want a McMillan Edge for one. I was thinking mainly about the wood/blue models though.

if i could buy a montana stock for the same money as a mcmillan id go that way. i have no loyalty to either.

Whatever this LPT stock is or what it's for doesn't do anything for me. Leave the initials off, please

You CAN buy a Montana kevlar stock for your Kimber. The last one I bought was $350 or so. 1-800-880-2414.

montana stocks are made in costa rico? are you serious? i have read that the new south carolina model 70 stocks are made in china. what happened?

What do you do about the bottom metal? Do you have to hog it out yourself?

Global economy or better said, we been had by FN. Chinese stock probably cost pennies on the dollar compared to same made in America that wear the "Union Label" or non-union for that matter.

The LPT stock isn't a McMillan. The one on the 8400 version is a McMillan.

The stock for the Kimber 84M Montana and 8400 Montana is made in-house by Kimber. The stock was designed by Melvin Forbes of NULA. If you look at a NULA stock and a Kimber stock, the contours are very similar. The 8400 stock was actually built heavy to dampen recoil. The 84M stock is a good bit lighter than the 8400 due to the lighter recoil of 308 based cartridges.

Will Kimber cut it out for bottom metal?

Have heard that before and have seen his name associated w/ the Montanta stock design in print in older Kimber catalogs, but those in the know on this forum have reported that that info is false. FWIW

I'm talking about the heavy barreled tactical variant of the 8400. Not the standard one.

It seems like it would be heavily stupid to use a man's name in several shooting publications. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

I STAND CORRECTED! I talked to the horse today and it came from the horses mouth that he DID NOT have anything to do with the design of the Kimber Montana stock. As a matter of fact, Kimber had to remove his name from publications to avoid being sued. WOW! Kinda brazen, don't you think?

I didnt read through all the post but there is an article in rifle about the 8400 tac. It looks like it has a mcmillan A5.

I asked about this a while back. The A5 is the only stock they inlet for the Kimber action. This was from Ryan (Shoot2Win) several months ago.

It certainly is.
