I've been wanting a Kimber in 6.5 or .260 and thought the Hunter was a good bet. Looked one over a couple weeks ago and decided that I preferred the feel (balance, grip size) of my Montana stocks better. So I'll wait on the Kimber in 6.5. But the Hunter wasn't bad. Given a choice between a Hunter at say 6 bills, vs the Montana at twice that much I'd definitely give the Hunter a whirl.
