Thread: WTB Kimber 7mm-08

I always wonder if people that say the montanas don't shoot actually struggle with the stock fit or the light weight of it?
I think they are a hard rifle to shoot accurately at paper. They are a brilliant bush hunting rifle though and that's what most people want this sort of lightweight rifle for.

I've read heaps about Kimbers on various forums and people are very divided over them.

One thing I have noticed is that there are not many people with a Kimber under .308 saying they don't shoot. It's usually "My Kimber's a piece of shit, it shoots groups like a shotgun, worst 338/06 I've ever owned"

I think a lot is maybe the combination of lightweight rifle and large calibre more than Kimbers quality control.

I agree. I had one in 280ai. It was no hole punch and it was lively to shoot but it was well worth the hassle of carrying and being on the right side of when you pulled the trigger.
I believe it would have shot better with someone else behind it than me as some days it shot about .75" others 1.50".
Should have kept it but to be fair a Montana in .243, .308 or .7mm08 would be my pick of that Kimber litter.
