You know you can never have enough lightweight rifles Bob
.
In all fairness to the Montana, one of the ones I worked with was a good shooter as it came from the factory.
Another became a very good shooter with some barrel channel tweeking, bedding, etc.
The other two guys just couldn't take time to fix anything, and are still running around wounding or missing what they are shooting at as far as I know
.
Seems to me you shouldn't have to work on so many for what Kimber charges for them
.
From what I understand Kimber is doing better quality control these days, so consistancy should be better.
I personally prefer my Sako Finnlight in stainless/synthetic,
and it was a real shooter out of the box - But was even more money
.
By the way, it's a 270 W,
