Looking for a Kimber Montana 223

[RickF]

Has anyone seen a used Montana 223 in their travels recently? I would even consider a short .473" for the right price.

I put a WTB ad in the EE but thought I would canvass in case a shop has one. Thanks!

I saw one today. And yesterday..... But it ain't for sale.




Buuuut you already knew that.....(grin)

 

[RickF]

I have been leaning that way for sometime, and will confess that little cutie pushed me over the edge! Still looking.

Any interest in an 84M Varmint in 204 Ruger?

 

[RickF]

PM sent, still looking.

Just get a Savage.....

Clarke, I considered it, but they still don't come with a paper bag to put over your head when shooting them in public!

He shoots a Ruger so the paper bag thing is nothing new to him.

Rick, I'd drive over and do an intervention for/on you!

As a good friend would!

I see one daily too, but it is here to stay.

Rick with a Kimber Montana??? The earths rotation must be out of whack

Dave, they didn't make a 5 1/2 pound pre-64 M70 in 223!

I'm sure one could be cobbled up........might take some cutting and welding.....

I still think a Sako L461 or AI is a better mousetrap for a lightish 223...

Mag box is too short for the bullets I want to use buddy.

 

[Rembo]

right.......75-80's are long.

Is the Kimber 223 type mag box easily modded for more length? I have never actually laid eyes on any Kimber in the .378" bolt face.

 

[RickF]

Mag spacer tweaks, and shorten / bevel the bolt stop / ejector. Pretty straightforward Rick.

Good point! Or you and I would probably have one

Sounds like a good argument for a 22-250......

This would be my approach. I think.

Funny, I think thats how he'd been leaning, riiiiiiight up till he shot my 223AI.

There's much magic in the littlest 84.
