I took a step back from buying guns for a few years, I come back and MRC is gone, 84M, Ruger Hawkeye, Remington, the Field craft... maybe it's time to take up golf.

Get real guys! Who needs a Montana? Just get ya an AR chambered in 257 Bob and call it good. It's only you old Boomers that want those old fashioned bolt rifles.
(sarcasm in case you didn't know that.)
I have a 257 Roberts Montana I would let go for $3,000. Has never been fired. (at least not this year).
(more sarcasm)
In reality I have more Montanas than I need so if they are dropped from production it will keep me from being tempted further.

Kimber told me earlier in week if it is in their website it is in their production lineup.
Of course, that could be them simply making the easy response.

Yep, your predication was close. I was tempted to jump in, but get wary when a non-rated buyer is in the crowd.

That threading is another example of questionable Kimber production decisions. They really ought to put their rifle program and tooling up for sale, it might profit them.

How many actually utilize the threads versus how many wish it was smooth?

That’s a good question. Who the hell buys an ultralight rifle and then puts a can on it? Idiots. That’s who.

Could never understand adding an additional 7 or 8 in. and an additional 8 or 9 oz. to the muzzle end of a Montana or other lightweight rifle. Kind of both defeats the purpose and really messes up both the looks and ergos of the gun. A can would be a big hindrance.

Says another guy that don't have one......
The benefits FAR outweigh the 'hindrances'. But you don't know, what you don't know.....

I have no use for a can on a Montana with a 22” barrel. However, a can on the end of a 16.5” or 18” light weight rifle is utopia. If Kimber made threaded 16.5” 223 Montana they’d have to shut down pistol production to fill backorders…….
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

Agree with short action and huntsman
Those who do not own, or haven’t hunted/used suppressors only know what you have read on a forum, magazine, or imagined. I have yet to know anyone who regretted having one or didn’t carry/use when they could
I’ll take my 243 at 18” with a can on it all day for actual hunting purposes.
Don’t give two [bleep] about the looks of a actual hunting rifle.
A 16-18” 223 1-7.5 or 1-8 twist Montana would be hard to keep in stock. ergo’s/form/function/utility all in one

But they used a little heavier contour for those.
