Gotta go Cooper then!
In all honesty if accuracy is your only concern, you'd be better served elsewhere. We are still dealing with an 84M action here.
My personal experience with the 84M in Montana or classic is first two touching with the third straying and opening up the group to under an inch.
The least accurate Montana I owned was MOA on a good day, 1.5" on a bad. Two were skim-bedded.
These are with tuned handloads and proper discipline at the bench, preventing muzzle-flip by placing my index finger of my left hand on the edge of the fore-end and pushing it down into the bags.
That part is absolutely crucial when shooting a sub 6lb rifle, and don't let anyone tell you different. All bad habits show-up ten-fold over your standard 8lb sporter.
Here is one of the poorer groups shot with one of my 7-08's with a load it likes.
This is not your "cherry-picked CGN" target and I have plenty of targets with tighter groups in my reloading files, I just pulled this one to try to show how the third shot always seems to head-out.
POI is always consistent, and these are consecutive shots with no cooling in between.
After the third that barrel is smokin' hot, and shots will start walking if you don't leave time to cool.
All three of my 84m's have grouped similar with the third shot deviating from the first two that are either tight or touching.
Consistent three shot cloverleafs? No
MOA capable sub 6lb rifles? Yes! And that certainly works for me.
What will a larger contour fluted barrel with a muzzle-brake on the new Kimber bring to the table accuracy wise? Time will tell I guess. I'm certainly excited to see these new offerings.

There's one on the EE right now...roll the dice maybe?
Ask the seller if he'll offer an inspection period, with you covering return shipping if it doesn't fit the description.
Usually no worries when there's nothing to hide.
Yeah, but its an Abolt. I'd rather not, and titanium is a production fad.
Huh? I've been know to troll for a troll but to call be one? Fine then, I was going to let you know what Archie's "special treatment" for his barrels is. Enjoy.

So, hypothetically speaking if you were indeed a troll, you would be known as a troll who trolls for trolls.Huh? I've been know to troll for a troll but to call be one?
Those are the kewlest kind!
Your the one anxiously waiting to touch one of his old toys in the mail. Just sayin.

Another pic of Archie? And is that one of those dollar bin rubber balls for kids?
Creeping me out, but then again, that is how I t-roll.
Ok so back to the subject.
I think I like it enough that I may spend the money I was thinking about saving for one of the new (insert thunderous man voice) "FORBES RIFLES MODEL TWENTY-FOUR"!
But then again maybe not. I am thinking a Forbes in 30-06 would be a near perfect BC rambling rifle, with a FX II 6x36 Matte on top of course.

Such a ### rifle in such a ### cartridge, wielded by such a ### ogre (you) could only be topped with a VXII UL, all the while slumming a T3 as a backup in the hatchback of your ### Prius.
Queeeeer!
Where here in BC you plannin' on ramblin'? While I like the fixed power {I run a 4X FX-II on my deer hunting-rifle in the cariboo} it can get mighty thick anywhere near the coast if your after blacktails or black-bear in second growth. Vx-3 in 2.5X8 maybe?
Living where you do is like a compass surrounded by magnets. Your ###-dar is busted, and couldn't tell Johnny Cash from Boy George.
Your calling the NULA out are ya? Something wrong wit you boy, maybe the recoil from that bitty ol' .270 rocked the marble out of your ear.
I am in the Okanagan-Shuswap area, and keep to higher open ground. I haven't killed much outside of Alberta and it hasn't been too thick for a straight six anywhere. But I have no problem with a straight four.
