Title: Kimber Rifle....
Post by: BKMFR on December 11, 2018, 05:17:47 AM: Just received my Kimber Adirondack 6.5 Creedmoor, put a Zeiss 3x9 on it, total weight 5 lbs-6 oz. My worry was accuracy.... Much to my surprise 1/2" and less groups shooting from Leadsled with factory Nosler 120 gr. Ballistic tips. Really like the rifle, normally not impressed with factory rifles, but this one has totally surprised me. Very happy with the Kimber.... :)

H20hunter's rifle is nice and light

Topped it with a Swaro Z3.

Had to remove some material from the mag box because it was bottoming out in the stock.

I think I'm sitting around 5-15/6 on the money with a scope.

Post by: grade-creek-rd on December 18, 2018, 08:00:26 AM: Regarding lightweight rifles...like Kimber's...if someone is having accuracy problems be sure to check the trigger pull...I found mine to be a bit too stiff for such a light rifle but once I made a small adjustment it became a tack driver. The rifle was always accurate, I was just moving it a little bit as I pulled the trigger.

Grade

I dropped mine off a cliff and it's still good, scope didn't make it though.

Post by: JeffRaines on December 29, 2018, 06:53:55 PM: My Montana is looking to be a decent shooter. Got a couple factory loads shooting an inch and I feel like they'll tighten up a bit with a trigger adjustment... I adjusted it down some but it needs to go down more.
