I know the feeling all too well....
I had five Kimbers.... the boys left me the .338 Federal
I just picked up a Faux Montana .338 Federal (84m Classic action, stainless factory barrel, Montana stock) from my FFL dealer yesterday (bought out of the classifieds here). My original intent was to rebarrel it to 7mm-08, but the more I think about it, the more I'm liking the idea of the .338 Federal for spot and stalk black bears and maybe the occassonal elk. Sent a scope off to Leupold yesterday for an M1 turret upgrade, so once it's back, I'll hit the range and decide for sure then.
