Ferraris need tuning, while Chevettes (Savage) run on and on
Sneak peak....
So far everything has a place and everything is in it. The Talleys seem to be slightly crooked. When the scope is sat in them, there is about a 1/16th inch gap between scope and mount. I checked my SAUM talleys and they're like that as well.
I have 150 rounds of 55 grain Winchester Whitebox to shoot for brass, and a box of moly 75 Amaxs on stand by. Range report ASAP, we'll see if this little piglette will shoot.
It's only a rattle can paint job and a few blown primers away from the EE.

My kimber didnt blow primers. My SAUM does/did and when i found out i took it off the ee. I dont sell my headaches down the road to someone else. If i sell something then it is sold in working order to best of ky knowledge unless i.state otherwise. If you want to accuse me of selling s**t wares then feel free to PM me ajd we'll talk about it.

Last week I was at WSS and picked up a Kimber Super America chambered for the 7mmWSM. It had beautiful fiddleback wood on it from butt to forend tip, but that was it. I picked it apart for several reasons: to light, pencil barrel, claw extractor, plastic follower, barrel was leaning hard onto the side of the barrel channel, plus the WSS clerk stated customers complained about how inaccurate they are..........not impressed at all, it had everything I did't like in the firearm except the wood stock. Originally priced around $2,400.00 and reduced to $1,900.00. For that price and poor workmanship, no thank you.
Time to buy a Cooper!. They are hands-down the finest rifle out there second only to the T-3, with the extreme accuracy of a savage, with a written guaranteee.. They are designed from the ground-up to be the......best..............."Derp...........Derp...Derp"................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Atleast they come with a 1/2" target shot at 30 paces from a machine rest.
That's Rad! See ya over in the Cooper appreciation thread!!!
I'll be there in half-a-minute...guaranteed!
Jes@s Crikes Archie, that little Montana you just bought better be a shooter, or you're gonna get eaten alive on here!
Hey, no pressure, and if in doubt post a "CGN" group!

When in doubt post "CGN" groups!
CGN group is 75 yards and a Savage group is 50?
Or is it the other way around?

See thats what cracks me up...people always spout about 1/2 this and gauranteed that...if my montana doesnt shoot.great, it can be made to do so. Rebed, crown, firelap, whatever. What you cannot do though...is make a 1/2" cooper into a 5 pound, kevlar stocked CRF rifle.
Accuracy is a small battle in the war of attaining the perfect gun

I really question why people want a light firearm, and the reason why I ask this is only through experience. Why do people want a light firearm when most I've noticed don't even walk. They either drive around every county grid road, sit in a ground blind, tower blind or tree stand. It's the other way around for me, I walk with heavy rifles.
I believe that the reason Kimbers don't shoot that well is because it is to light and has a pencil barrel, moreover; mauser actions are not noted to perform accurately than a push feed action.
Why go to the trouble to purchase a firearm that cost $1,300 to $2,500 and have to tweek it to shoot accurate. I find that the Kimbers are very nice looking firearms, but that is how far I will go with them.
I hunt with quite a few people that don`t drive around from stand to stand and blind to blind, and often put on double digits in miles in a day at elevation, and that would include myself. I can guarantee that you wouldn`t keep up on many of the excursions I have went on let alone some of my more successful friends.
I do understand how you hunt and your normal fall routine, and a heavy gun is just fine for you. I am not going to carry a 10lb slug around chasing sheep, mule deer or elk in the mountains. But I don`t expect you to understand that.
I also don`t need to be told I am somehow clueless or incapable of shooting a light rifle, and that pencil barrels are inaccurate. I have and had light rifles that shoot more than well enough to be consistant 500yd rifles, including your old 30-06 that weighs 7lbs ready to hunt. The little 6.5x47 that I shot yesterday weighing 6.25lbs made a few 1" 5 shot groups. That sucks.
Its getting tiring being `told`by certain people how it is.
And since when did the schmoe behind the gun counter know what he was talking about anyway
