Dancing Bear makes some excellent points about the Kimber in .30’06,
but for my preference at that recoil level , I would choose the Kimber Mt in plain 280 Rem for the panache and smooth feeding

bbl 22” / 24” Lilja twisted and throated to suit. Magazine length dictates a lot.

Hand loaded of course, there’s just not much factory 280 Rem on the shelves , Ha

In the NULA 24, I’d most definitely choose a 280 AI / 24”.

Not sure how a suppressor would impact this build,
might change things to a 7 PRC on a NULA 28 w / 20” bbl for similar down range performance
