Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Inaccuracy with new Kimber 84M Montana 7mm-08

Ok.

Now listen. Real careful.

Are you ready?

Because posing questions like this to a Texan, is akin to asking them to watch two episodes of Jeopardy. They just can't take it. And seeing you live in Oregon, I don't want you to read this question and start bleeding out your fuggin' ears.

So again, listen careful.

Make your Tikka weigh sub-6lbs, with glass and rings and bases. Then go shoot it for groups. And when you get done shooting it for groups, post how much money you have into it.

I just made a wicked green tea moonshine concoction, herbal remedy...


I used to think Kimbers sucked ass, but that was 6-7 years ago and the opinion was based purely on internet reports.

Then I bought one, and then another and now I want another one.


Didn't touch my 257 Roberts and it has shot some awesome groups from the bench(out to 400 meters).

Have never shot my 243 from a bench but it does just fine from a bipod or over the hood of a pickup. Currently +200 rounds down the barrel and it hasn't been cleaned(accuracy is still uber) so the barrel quality must be getting better.

It might foul a little more than the factory Sako barrels but certainly not enough to worry about.




If you want a simple, lightweight, blind magazine hunting rifle there is nothing better for the price than a Kimber Montana.

If you prefer plastic, a magazine and maybe touch better accuracy then the obvious choice is Tikka.

I will gladly take your thousand bucks.... your mountain or mine....20lb packs are for chicks, just saying....

I have a Spring break coming up BTW....

"If you want a simple, lightweight, blind magazine hunting rifle there is nothing better for the price than a Kimber Montana."

Gotta agree Sam!......Bought an 8400 over a decade ago and it's so damned reliable and accurate.

I bought that rifle after making a wish list of all the features I wanted for a custom build and then discovered the Kimber for half the $$$......added three more since.

No damned floor plates nor box magazines either.

Only dorks watch and hour of Jeopardy.

You don't think I know 20 lb packs are for chicks? I pack a 28lb saw along with another 25 lbs of wedges Axe and falling rigging on coastal ground that's straight up and down with brush so thick you have to saw your way through it for 6 hours a day all year long.

Then on the weekends just for fun I sign up to go fight in the local ultimate fighting competitions. But...I'm not really that touph....I'm only ranked the number seven welterweight in the nation. That might have something to do with the fact that I've never been in the ring with the other fellas yet.

Tanner, I'll take you up on that Mountain climb.

I'll even bring the beer

And Travis can come help us drink the beer.

And bud...it's hard to read someone on the internet so just so you know its all in good fun.

I will take you up on that though and I'm sure it'd be a great time. Probably even make a new friend.

Shod

I will challenge Travis to a good old fashioned beer drinking contest.


Throw in an Indian leg wrestling match.
(no dry humping allowed...)

You know he's going to give you the listen real close speech.....

Then he'll throw in some lame excuse about why dry humping should be allowed.

Shod

Is that what they teach in your schools?

Certainly explains Bart starting a thread about whether he should, or should not, commit to the reading of an entire book.



Travis

Vern, exactly!

Your being a fighter certainly explains why you can't differentiate between 7.5lbs and sub-6lbs.



Travis

I hump. Therefore I am.



Travis

PS- Real beer. None of that Bud Light/Tikka-grade schit.

Its cause fighters isn't that smart.

What I can't figure out though is why any who needs a sub 6 lb rifle to get up the Mountain would challenge someone like myself to a mountain climbing test!

Sheesh, and they say schooling is suppose to make ya more smarter.

Shod

That's what people outside of Texas and Oregon refer to as an "assumption."



Travis

I've been outa school for 33 years. I don't think they teach anything relating to Jeopardy though but I'll check on it. Do you play scrabble at deer camp?

SNORK!


Travis playing scrabble!

That's the truth, Tikka's are ass-ugly!

I'll challenge any one to a game of Jeopardy...Tijuana no condom, 1st one to take penicillin looses

You challenged everyone to a mountain climbing contest, not vice versa... You are the baddest mofo on the internet though, so I guess it makes sense.... #7 welter-weight and #1 Bullschitter...

Tanner

I hereby challenge everyone to a GFY contest.
