Brand new rifle $1000, barrel plus machining and installing $750.

I find these to be easy to shoot from a bench and more accurate than I can shoot nowdays.



This^^^

I’ve built two on Kimber Montana’s. One is a little heavier than original as Rock missed the contour and the smith didn’t notice. One is right at 5lbs bare (7-08AI) the other is like 5-8 bare (6XC) both shoot under inch with several loads.

I DON'T NEED A WSM AS I HAVE A WEATHERBY!
