?.... I'm curious why ?

I had my smith devcon in a couple aluminum rods into the fore end of my Kimber Montana stock.  Really stiffened things up and made it sit in down in the hand really nice.

bigger scope ?

My thought is that you can get a more accurate rifle for the money rather than adding wieght. Though if you have one allreaday a  bell carolton tactical stock and a bed job would add a pound or so.

Who would ugly up a beautiful rifle with a god awful b&c tactical?   

I added 26" premium tube at the same time i did my stock work. Kimber action is a great platform.   They cycle like a dream, especially if you like the wsm rounds.   My accurized Montana was cheaper than my Coopers and shoots in the same class (actually a little better than my Phoenix/MTV).

Of the 10 or so rifles that I have built over the last 15 years, it is my favorite hunting rifle ever.

I am going to go with a 280, I like a rifle 7 lbs + with scope. am not sold on Kimber in the first place, they only offer 280 ackley improved on the site. I am not  sure they would do a custom, . factory options are sort of limited in this cartridge. Might go custom or rebarrel (semi custom). :dunno:rifles to eliminate are easy for me. It seems like a factory gun should be good with out custom work.
so maybe a Remington 700 with work, Ruger 77 with work, Browning X bolt?, Sako 85/finnlight?
I do not want to fight about it but no : Howas, weatherbys,savages, tikkas,TC's, are on my list.
I just do not like  super light rifles.

I just about bought the kimber but went with the cooper 52 in 280 ai.

Coopers are great!  I bought my first one as a deployment present to myself in 10 years ago.
