Thread: Kimber 84M or Tikka T3x? Advice please

My CZ has the problem of being backwards to the Tikka, another issue...

NEVER used a safety on a bolt action EVER

Kimber Montana in 7m-08
Best rifle I have ever owned in 55 years
Tikka - picked one up once - must of been a budget model - thought it was awful
