Gentlemen, I see how my posting could be understood in a way in which I did not intend. The person in a previous post said he had 5 Kimber 84M Montana's which were all in .308Win. I'm sure plenty of persons have magnificent firearm collections but I was interested as to why he had 5 of the exact same rifle. I thought there may have been a reason. Perhaps issues with some of the rifles necessitating the purchase of an additional rifle(s). Sorry if I offended anyone or their collection.

Unfortunately from what I have read of experiences I do not recall anyone sending a Kimber Montana in for warranty and getting it back a shooter. I think in 3 months you'll likely get your rifle back with the famous everything is within spec letter and then you will proceed to go through the fix list. Or you can always sell it to the highest bidder and get a Tikka T3 that will shoot bugholes out of the box, is still plenty lite for a pack rifle, and doesn't require a 100 point shooting course to learn how to shoot it.

Gentlemen, Sorry if I offended anyone or their collection. Who in the hell are you calling a gentleman? Never apologize on the 'Fire. It's just too 'gemtlemanly'. You will be accused of shooting a .270 win.

They are a little rough around the edges with a few SOB's mixed in but this is the best site on the web. No worries here, just speak freely.

Shod I have a .308 tikka that is very accurate and a 7mm08 Montana that is plenty accurate with the 120 nbt that I have fed it. I bedded it and to see if I could improve on how it shot and it now shoots around an 1-1.5" depending on the day. I think with more load development i would really be on to something as I get 2 touching with a 3rd opening things up. Accuracy is important but the feel of these to rifles is so different. The Montana just feels right the way a quality well fitting shotgun should. The tikka isn't bad but it just feels so forced when making quick shots on game. I actually much prefer the BC extreme weather stock on my Winchester to the tikka factory stock by a long shot. I may actually buy one of the BC tikka stocks someday but it is hard to justify since the tikka is a loaner or future kids gun. Hurricane...Don't give up on your Montana, once she comes around you will find yourself leaving your other guns home. When you are on the move the Kimber will be somewhere useful like in your hands! The groups that were attained on the bench will be pointless when the buck jumps out of his bed at 40 yards.

Shod I have seen it.....new barrel and new stock under warranty by Kimber. I bought it after it was returned to the original owner. It was a shooter. A 25-06, IIRC. I sold it....should have kept it. My other Montana's.....all bought second-hand......have also been accurate for me. I'm still waiting to get screwed by Kimber roulette. Keep rolling the dice...but luckily haven't crapped out yet.
