43Shooter Campfire Tracker 4 Joined: May 2008 Posts: 3,678	I've never owned a Kimber but the quality of my CZ 527, 18&1/2" barrel carbine with useable open sights seems pretty good. It's light, handy and routinely accurate with good bluing and decent checkered walnut. Mine's never been bedded or free floated but it's accuracy would seem to indicate quality stock inletting and a good barrel. It's not a pencil barrel so it's shot some, IMO, very good 5 shot groups with a 2-7x33 scope and old eyes. NEGC make a receiver sight that fits the integral scope base. Some things I don't like about it are the backwards safety, the scope could mount a little lower and the set trigger was rough. I ended up adjusting out the set trigger and it was fine. It's not perfect but the quality's there for considerably less than a Kimber.

From what I see on the market today the CZ pleases me more than any other I know of. Light, slim, accurate, reliable and comes with a set trigger and a striker blocking safety. Anyway.............that's my vote.

OP tzone Campfire 'Bwana T Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 46,745 Just The Tip	I pulled the trigger on a Kimber Montana in .223 from Whittakers. Picked it up yesterday. I think it would be hard to find a better rifle for that platform and caliber. It should work perfect for what I plan to do with it, which is everything. LGS couldn't comprehend they kill deer dead as well as anything. Camp is where you make it.

screaminweasil Campfire Regular S Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 2,104	Yep..........great choice. I have one and look forward to it becoming my primary coyote calling rifle. It is a friggen hammer with 40gr Fiocchi Factory loads consistently shooting 1/2MOA, which is wicked Coyote medicine and can't reload virgin brass for the price of it. Looks like it's currently out of stock, but this place is awesome for Fiocchi 50gr and 40gr 1,000 round cases. https://www.sgammo.com/product/223-...x-polymer-tip-bt-fiocchi-extrema-ammo-22 Both Fiocchi 50gr and 40gr Vmax loads shoot 1/2 to 3/4 MOA consistently out of four different 223's I've used it in. Anyway, regardless of what you shoot. The little Kimber Montana .223 is a peach. I should buy another. I haven't loaded for it yet, but expect good things with Ramshot TAC and 75gr HPBT Hornady's. Too many irons in the fire for me to worry about loading it for a while. Last edited by screaminweasil; 07/09/19.
