Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Is Kimber building Montana rifles right now?

Yep👍

"Male Mangina's". ..thats some funny chit! And very true.....Hb

No can yet but I will have one. Makes it handy if you don't want everyone in the country to know what you're up to.

Also handy as fugg if you want to kill several critters in one sitting.

I just wish they offered threaded barrels as an option.

So it's you then... You killed them....

Wish I used a can earlier in life and hearing protection.

Very hard hearing in the right ear and many nights they ring so bad I can't sleep. Literally keeps me awake all night.

Were "cans" readily " available to make a difference? Nope...

Chainsaws, mill work and lotsa huntin, wouldn't a made a difference. But boy, they sure look cool nowadays.

Ha, Stihls and shootin the way of life in my early years, hearing protection wasn’t, wouldn’t change a thang.. 😀

I can't hear well in my left ear, but I blame that on the drummer in our band being to my left all those years. Damn cymbals!

That’s exactly what I did with the one. I bought from you, chopped to 17” threaded it and went to town. Great walk around varmint/ hog gun

I have a NIB Montana .223 that I want to chop and thread. Can’t bring myself to do it. I’ve been on a 17” kick lately with some Tikkas.

My man is chumming the waters, lookin' for a big ol' fish.

I’d take a Montana like that in .223 in a heartbeat. Even the 22” barreled ones make great suppressor host for hunting rifles in the field or even if only for load work ups.

If your hunting from a shack balance will matter even less. Set the rifle on a rest with a can on it easy peasy. There’s a reason that you see cans in common use even on stalking rifles all over the world from Africa to New Zealand to Great Britain and all other places that they are commonly available. Would you take the muffler off of your car and where muffs to quiet it down? Why deal with noise and muzzle blast that isn’t necessary especially for load development or hunting out of a blind or stand where balance is a nonissue.

Scopes add weight and negativity affect balance to but most of us wouldn’t be without those either on a serious hunting rifle.

FYI - for anyone that maybe looking for a 223 Montana I saw a new non-threaded in a LGS this morning for $1330 so PM for the details.

I wouldn't expect that to last long in today's market.

Minutes if posted on here.

A classifieds cowboy would have it within seconds, must be 100 of them that live in/on the classifieds sub-forum.

I wish they made a 223 Montana with the barrel profile and length like the one on my Adirondack in 300 BO. And do it in a 7 or at least an 8 twist. My 300 bo has a hammer flare on the end so it has a shoulder to seat a can against.
