G'Day Fella's,

Ripp, thank you for posting that link on the new Kimber Mtn-Assent rifle.
I recently purchased a Kimber Montana 84M in .223 Rem for a customer and I'm currently awaiting delivery of an Montana 84L, in .25-06 for myself.
I had a mate/customer (JA) dropped around yesterday wanting some work done on his "Old Faithful" FN .375 H&H, prior to another African Safari. JA had been to the SCI show in the US earlier this year, and handled the new Mtn-Assent. He asked me if I could order him in one of the new Mtn-Assent's in .270Win!

According to JA, they are a very light, impressively made and finished rifle!

When I can afford it, I want to get one of the Kimber Varmint type rifles, in .223 Rem.

Ripp, thank you for posting the images of your Antelope and Ram! Most impressive and well done mate!!!
Hope you enjoy Cancun!!!

Doh!

I have heard mixed reviews on the Kimber rifles...I have 4 or their handguns and they shoot really well..in fact picked up the little Kimber solo in 9mm to carry with me on my HD while out riding..shoots really well..

As to the rifles..I have a friend who works for a major sporting goods chain store..said Kimber rifles seem to be really good shooters or not...not many in-between He also said for whatever reason, accuracy on the 300 WSM was about 50/50 as to if they would shoot or not...have a couple of friends who had one in a .325 and did not shoot well at all.so this will be my first Kimber to try out..figured if it doesnt shoot can always rebarrel it..and still have a semi-custom for a reasonable price...

Thanks about the Big Horn..was really lucky in that I shot him 2 months to the date after my bad motorcycle wreck....lucky to be alive and lucky to find him..
