Any long term users of the Kimber mountain ascent?

I've been chatting at MPI's booth at the show and apparently MPI can make a stock as light as 9oz(!) for the 84, this I'll have to try. That should make my Adirondack 4lbs flat. Might have to flute it too, imagine a little 3lb 15oz .308, sounds good to me for a pack / guide gun with irons on it.

Now that would be a very interesting project Ardent. If you go down this road please post about it. I'm determined to own a .308 Adirondack in the next 2-3 months so very interested in what people say and do with it.
 
The stock would take some getting used to, it's no butt pad (well, a piece of neoprene), and slim is an understatement, but for a carry lots shoot once a month rifle the idea of getting to 4lbs flat or less is salivating. I may even have them do it without a fore end, we talked about the possibility.

Sounds interesting Ardent. Did they give you a price on the stock? 9 oz sounds sweet. I think I would prefer it with the fore end.

Sounds like a Kifaru rifle project. Almost no gun to hold onto !
 
Ardent, I can't remember where I read it, but a few years back a fellow built a mini-mauser with one of those micro-light MPI stocks and IIRC he came it at under 4 lbs.
