The biggest drawback to them is I haven't figured out how to fit my dong into the chamber. Yet...

Like putting a .22LR into a 25-06 chamber, huh? Most be the definition of "doesn't fit" in Texas. Color me shocked. (not really) Travis

Are these groups you guys are showing with the Montana's at 100 yards?
How do they do when you wring them out at 400-600 yards?
Thanks - Greg, This was 500y with 120gr bullets... TTSX or NBT, I don't remember which now. Some wind, but not too bad with 6x42 M1. 3-tight, dropped one, and have no clue what happened with the far right (obviously shooter).

Switched to the 162gr AMAX a few months ago, once they went online again. Same 6x42 M1 in Talleys. 100 yard 3-shot cherries. ![[Linked Image]](http://s11.postimg.org/5naw7bkwz/004.jpg)

Replaced the 1" 6x42 FX3 with a SWFA 3-9x MQ. Same AMAX load. JB mentioned 5-shot groups as a better standard, and Formi says anyone can get lucky with 3-shots. So 10-shots at 100y. That's a lot of pressure on the shooter, and I get stage-fright. The extra weight of the SS has made the overall recoil characteristics different... in a good way. The rifle is much less finicky about hold. With the 120gr loads, the rifle jumped alot and needed a tighter hold... with FX3. Same with 162gr and FX3. With the SS it still doesn't like free-recoil but I can shoot with my offhand resting on top of the scope and not holding the fore-end. MUCH easier to shoot, and weight/handling are still decent. ![[Linked Image]](http://s3.postimg.org/usb5tokfn/kimber_162gr_3_9x.jpg)

Just for the record, the rifle was made early 2013 IIRC.
I went thru the "List" and it didn't need a thing. Screws were shortened just a hair, but really didn't need it. Still has the slave bedding.

It's the elevated discussion that keeps bringing me back to the Campfire...  Don't know about anyone else but I got a little, uh, elevated after reading about Flave's attempted dong chambering. In a totally non Brokeback way.

I'd always pictured Flave as more of a 223.

FWIW.......(and a bit of a derail here) The local Gander Mountain in Tonawanda NY had a BARELY used 30-06 Montana with Leupold bases for $899 less 10% the other day. $810 sounds pretty good and IIRC they'll ship their guns to another GM for zip.
The gun did not look like it had been shot.......... 84L or 8400 30-06 Montana? The 8400 is not a rifle I favor at all... I checked; 8400 and it does have a fat Rosie belly.

Flave could probably chamber the Rosie perch belly no problem.

I've heard a little bit about Montana 7-08's that won't shoot;) Just a random picture from one famous POS 7-08 ![[Linked Image]](http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l639/shortactionsmoker/364FAB34-5D07-47C9-9BB8-CB5FEE6EC6B0-2313-0000021FD0594D91.jpg)

And you're a legitimate witness of a bang, bang, bang group with that rifle!
