I might even buy a slow twisted POS Kimber Hunter 22-250.

Assuming the 22/250 has a 1-14" twist. If so they hit it out of the park.... That one's still on the drawing board. Rumor is, they'll call it the "Ingwe."

Sure looks like a standard Kimber thrown in a less UBER stock.
Dave The campfire will demand a McMillan as a reasonable upgrade.

At this point it looks like a standard action and barrel, without the threads and a non-kevlar stock. The new stock allowed them to construct a detachable magazine.
The NRA article shows a much better color than the Kimber website. Looks like an aluminum trigger guard too.
All in all not too bad and it hits a much lower price point. If they didn't increase factory capacity I suppose all the models will be in short supply for awhile.
The market will soon speak.

Kimber goes plastique for the first time since the Mauser basterdization project. Uber. I'd like a Creedmoor if it's a stiffy. Color change is easy.

The stock was pretty stiff on the sample I inspected. The mag snapped in and out easily. We'll see how it does once true production models roll out...

SAS, What's the trigger guard configuration/construction?

Provided a rifle isn't chambered for a 300 mag or bigger I have no problem with a plastic stock.
Wish it was ADL style.
Darrik, plastic or metal mag?

A 223 with appropriate magazine length would be a nice option too. Even with the 1-9 they like to use.

Plastic exterior, metal interior. The trigger guard on the rifle I handled was plastic.
To be fair, the rifle at SHOT wasn't the true production rifle. I was told they had to slap a stock on a barreled action for display because none had been manufactured.

Is the action the same as the Montana? Same exact action in a plastic stock. Same barrel contour. It's light too. Should be interesting once they start spitting them out. I ordered a bunch.

That's what I dislike like most about the Sako A7.
Plastic covered metal mag on the A7 as well.
I'll wait for a 22-250 Montana.
(unless the Hunter is $500 cheaper, then it would make an ube full-time truck gun)

That has to be the ugliest stock color I've ever seen. A 7-08 wouldn't be too shabby but I'd likely just by a used MT for the same price.
