If Kimber would take the risk to chamber the Montana rifle in 250 Savage as a special run they might sell...all of them

I killed a big doe with my 250/3000 2 weeks ago at a lasered ( afterwards) 321 yards with the Hornady 117 gr SST at 2,660. Quite... a bit of "holdover" on that shot, deer went 35 yards and down. The little Savage case is far more capable than it's powder capacity.


I tend to agree. Also, if one wants to AI the cartridge why not simply choose the .257 Robts?

I never much cared for Remingtons even though my first (complete) bolt action was a 700 in .30-06. However, I gotta admit, I kinda dig on the Model 7. I picked up one a few weeks ago in .223 and really like this rifle. So much so that I almost bout the matching .308 they had as well. I think if it had been a .260 it too would have come home with me.
