2016 Kimber Montana

[todbartell]

Rumor is Kimber is unveiling a new Montana @ SHOT - anybody have info? All I know for sure is 22-250 & 6.5 Creedmoor have been added

I hope they've ditched the Rem710 stock color, and add a hinged floorplate. And that '250 be a 1/8 or 1/9 ROT barrel

floorplate? why so? add those extra few grams?

I like the Colour too haha!

darker finish on barrel be a mountain mans dream.

Probably just what's on their website...barrel threaded for muzzle break

 

[Dogleg]

If the Montana had a floorplate option I would have bought one years before I finally did.

Left hand? Yea right.

I'm with you. I like the colour and no floor plate. Although if there's gonna be a new model out maybe i can pick up another old model montana for a steal.

Floor plate and I would buy one.

Repainted the stock on my '07 Montana a tan with black webbing/speckle and never once felt the need for a floor plate. It's a lightweight hunting rifle- not a truck gun.

Pipe dream would be backup iron sights.

 

[fuzzy]

Back up irons and a floorplate would be awesome! But then people would complain about the weight increase.....

 

[Chris P.]

Left hand? Yea right.

If only that would ever happen! The day's of wondering what to buy would be over for good.

I wish they'd make an 18" barrel Montana and leave it at the Montana price instead of the Adirondack price.

Gray and no floor plate .... just fine with me.

A lot of the Montana's appeal comes from having a lightweight with a regular length barrel. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot, not to mention the fact they'd have two very similar guns they're selling.

Didn't say it had to be logical, just what I'd prefer in a Montana.

I'm curious what they are changing? I have a Montana in 7/08 and it's great! I should have bought one long before I did. I must say for no other reason than personal preference I do like a floorplate.

Cut and crown wouldn't be over $100.

 

[Ardent]

I might be the only guy smitten with the current lineup. I like the lack of floor plate as that's a few ounces saved, and don't mind the grey at all. I'd like to see a left hand for my wife.

 

[Gatehouse]

Put a damn floor plate on it and it's a winner.

The thing that interested me about kimber when I got my montana back in 2007, was the full length barrel. I wanted a light weight rifle that was capable of reaching out. I don't feel the need for a floor plate on a rifle that Im hiking with. I think the 84L is perfect the way it is. Its a beautifully balanced rifle, control rnd feed, great trigger and safety. The stock is designed to handle recoil, probably the best stock for a factory rifle. Whats not to like!
