Thinking I need (well want) a new lightish rifle to pack over the mountains here in Idaho. I just saw a Kimber Hunter Black that looked pretty good. I have read where Kimbers were (maybe still are) a bit of a crap shoot in the accuracy department - wondering if they have the kinks worked out or if they are still hit and miss. Second item of considerations - caliber. I've been shooting things with a 30-06 for the last 30 years and am considering a lighter recoiling cartridge. The 6.5CM seems to be gaining popularity, there are always the classics 308 and 7-08. .243 is a little light but the others should be fine for mule deer and the occasional elk inside of 1/4 mile. What say you?
