When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

Though way more than $1300, I got about that tied up in this Mark V ULWT 240 Roy, shootin a 85 grain boolit its pretty tough to beat for bucks. Its got talleys and a 3X9 ziess on it. 5 1/2 lbs bare gun, nice to pack!

Thats a beautiful picture, Looks like the bobby is taking a nap next to his weapon before he goes on the prowl for hunters!

Kimber Montana .300wsm (any mid caliber).   Tack driver out of the box.  Just over 5lbs.

The T3 is 6.2 lbs the T3 lite is 5.8 lbs. I shoot a T3 in 270win and absolutely love it. For packing into the alpine where shaving weight everywhere you can, I was extremely impressed with it

Those Kimbers seem iffy. Some shoot well and others don't. I'd hate to drop all that money and get one that won't shoot MOA. Beautiful rifles though.

That is the way I feel as well. Just about as sexy as a rifle comes too and the only production rifle that I like that comes in 338 fed. Too bad they dont have a MOA guarantee.

If I had the money this would be the one I'd pack.

I know a couple kimber buffs for sure. I know as much as it pains them to say it. They have bought a few that do not shoot very well and had to sell them because they could not get what they wanted out of the rifles. I know all rifles can be like this and I have seen it in the winchesters before.

I am a big tikka buff and if you have the scratch save up and by a finnlight sako. Outstanding gun and always great shooters. I also run a a7 and it's a tack driver.

You'll see people talking about it on the bigger gun forums a lot. Some shoot good groups and some don't. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they guaranteed MOA. I think anytime you have a pencil thick barrel you run that risk. I know one of our members on here had a Browning mountain ti that wouldn't shoot too. I think those kimber mountain ascent rifles in optifade camo are cool as heck but not if they don't shoot.
