If your hunting style gives you time to slip on some hearing protection, I think a braked 300 wsm in Kimber Mt would be a great rifle. I have one and I just don’t enjoy shooting it. It’s either getting a brake or getting sold.
Funny, I was looking at another Kimber 300 WSM today on GB. With Talleys and a NF SHV, I'd expect it to go 7.65 lbs. My previous 300 WSM (M70 EW) killed 2 bulls and it was pretty decisive. It weighed too much over 8lbs for my liking. I bought an early Montana in 300 WSM and it fed rough plus with a 3-9 VX2 and Talley's recoiled more than I liked - but that was just before my shoulder surgery for a torn labrum. I hate this time of year..................
