Kimber dropped the 223 for 2019. The Kimber Montana is King in the ergonomics game. They just feel right.... I figure a guy could find one if he looked hard enough. I could one from here that doesn't shoot. Why would they drop them from the line? Kimber isn't known for brilliant rifle decisions, but I really don't know the reason. I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Georgia The 223 Montana was the best Montana. I would change the twist to 1 in 7 or 8, and lengthen the mag confines a bit, but it is as close to perfect as I've seen. It might be my favorite rifle.
