Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats 6.5PRC on a Kimber Montana WSM?

Maybe you could spruce things up by adding some that knowledge?

Sounds like an awesome package Rick and I think you’d really enjoy it if it was put together with your blueprint. Hard to go wrong with it.

Very nice rifle. I like my Tikka conversion, but if Kimbers were available LH I would do one tomorrow.

Why not just buy a 270WSM.

Did one better. Just found a Montana 7 WSM.

Bragger...grin...

Enabler.

Now you're talkin'

Where would be a good place to get the barrel and have it installed in one shop? I was thinking pacnor then I remembered they burned down.

Ive had several custom rifles built on Kimber Montana's 8400s, two 300 PRCs and just waiting for my 6.5 PRC to be finished on a Kimber Montana 8400 (WSM donor) with a 23" #1 contour fluted Benchmark 1-8 twist barrel

Heres a cpl pictures of the last 6.5 PRC we built for a donation rifle to the WSS of BC
8400 action trued & Squared, trigger lightened to 2.5lbs, charcoal/pewter gunkote on all metal surfaces, 22" Hells canyon armoury CF wrapped benchmark barrel 1-8 twist, Gary Flach custom brake added, palm swell and high comb added to the Montana stock, Talleys holding a Swarovski Z3 3-10x42 BRH




this one shoots pretty good to !

Here's the other 300 PRC we built using a 26" Hells Canyon Barrel 1-9.5 twist.





This one shot really well also.

Nice rifles. Before I read your post, I was thinking that Gary and Mitch likely had their hands on those.

Thank you, Yes sir all Gary Flach built rifles.

Kimbers never looked so good.

What stocks are those? Never seen a factory Kimber with an elevated comb like that??

Yup! Sorry I’m late to the party. Shaen did an awesome job and turned down a Bart 2B (I believe) to close to factory dimensions for the first 8” and then finished a bit heavier. There are some pics on his website and a few here:

Idaho Bull hunt link

@23” it shoots the factory 143 Eldx at 3,000 FPS and tiny clusters

It’s a tough combo to beat.

This rifle is currently at my house about to be shipped back to Tim. It’s spectacular in every way. Ridiculously accurate.

Barrel contour on that bottom rifle please?
