Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics What optics on montana?

When I got this rifle I was going to put a 2.5-10x42 IOR Tact on it but if I do it's going to look like a snake with a VW sitting on top. What kind of glass y'all running on your Kimber LW?
Want something with clarity and trackable
Very stiff fines if a buck doesn't score 125 so good glass is a must
Thanks

My 6X42 Leupolds are pretty clear and track well.

There's a 3X9X42 Kahles that just popped up in the classifieds. You won't find anything better if you can swing the price.

6x36.

Buy a better set of binos for glassing.

^^^^^^^^ THIS^^^^^

I'm running a 6x36, 6x42, and 2-7x32 Leupold on Montana's. None of them are bad, but I prefer the 6x42 by a good margin. Every 6x42 I've used has been repeatable, but the adjustments may vary from specs advertised....

I don't know anything about the scope you mentioned, so can't comment specifically on it. In general, worrying about the way an optic looks on a rifle is a waste of time, worry about the performance. There are a vocal few that get their panties in a knot if you put anything other than a lightweight optic on a Kimber, but heavier scopes balance just fine.

I have also had a Leupold 6x42 on my 84m and was very pleased with it. Great tracking, great glass, great eye relief.

That'll do.



Form follows function.

Thx guys
Probably gonna put that IOR on it at least to break in and find a load.
May change to something different before next fall
