I'm looking to get a Kimber Montana. It's going to be the .22-250 Rem or a .223 Rem. I do have the capability to reload, i'm just not good at it yet.
It will be used for deer hunting, coyotes on occasion, and targets/plinking.
Ever think about picking up a used Montana and rebarrel it with a proper twist?
I do dearly love the super fast 22 CFs, but folks here are right. The .223 is perfectly adequate for a general purpose rifle. I am shooting the [bleep] out of my Montana 223 hoping to wear it out sooner rather than later, so I can throw on a Lilja 1/8.
Even with the paltry 1/9 factory barrel, I took a buck antelope at 550+ yards last year and a big buck mule deer at about 80 yards. No issues (well I did have one issue, but it was either the bullet or some brush...not the round and twist), but why settle for mediocre?
