Sam,

Which bipod are you running on the Montana?

Snap, if shooting very far I generally have a bipod attached and that really settles the rifle down. Purists be damned....grin


A lightweight rifle with a bipod attached might not balance 'perfectly' but I think it's the way to go for a walk around open country hunting rifle.

Might remove 1.5-2" of barrel.



Chiro, my (older)243 lug screw was shorter than the 270(which was fine unbedded) but I ended up replacing them both after bedding.

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.


I'm onto my second 270 Kimber Montana. The first one was the same. One and a half thread contact. The second Montana had a longer screw. Perfect size, go figure. Serial no. 4831 :-)


Can you please tell me which action screw on the Montana is sometimes too short and needs to be replaced with the Remington 700 screw? Is it the rear action screw on the Montana back by the tang?

Thanks and best of luck with your new rifle.

Darrik, went out to the hills and moved some cows today and the country is still nice and green but we sure could use another rain!


A, I use a 9-13" swivel for load work-up(prone) and a 12-25" swivel for hunting.


BD, 28lx just answered and is correct, the front action/lug screw.
If you have a recent model rifle and use it with the factory bedding(or a light skim bed) you might be fine. I shot mine with 'minimus' thread engagement and there weren't any issues, just wanted more thread contact after a following a healthy bed job.

Do yourself a solid and get a set of Bat action screws. Talk about a nice improvement! Those Kimber/Remington screws have such a shallow Allen head it's easy to ruin them. The Bats are super deep and a tight fit.


Screw you! I'm voting for Trump again!
