    So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.

    I made a flip flop pad for my hunter, I made it two layers with one piece cut to fit inside the stock that had a channel cut out and a chunk of carbon arrow to spread out the recoil and span the gap, and the other piece fit I fit to the outside. I used a nylon brushing wheel on my grinder and it...

    Black Diamond Mega Light Hot Tent Modifications

    I like my megamid but for a hot tent went with a bigger tent. The megamid with a stove is too tight for 2 with wet gear. My hot tenting is in the rain and drying out is primary reason for a hot tent, I bought the Oware 11'x11'. Plus I find my megamid sags so much in the rain that I end up...

    So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.

    Worth it though. I took out another 2 ounces in the grip. I found it really easy to pull it out. I poured in a splash of rubbing alcohol and slid a butter knife between the stock and the goo. I slide the butter knife around the edges twisting it so the rubbing alcohol would flow and then I took...

    So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.

    Mine took more force than I wanted. I was trying to be really careful so I wouldn't ding it up and I tried a putty knife, an xacto, but finally it took really jabbing it with a flathead screwdriver. Careful to not jam yourself with a flying blade when it finally breaks free. The cap doesn't have...

    So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.

    I measured the action screws as .9" to the bottom of the head so it probably means buying an 1" and grinding it down. Not sure how hard titanium is to cut but a grinder will probably work. What size/pitch did you buy? My thread gauge didn't seem to have the right pitch.

    And where are you getting your titanium action screws? The rear one is pretty funky but maybe it is like that so it easy to tighten and you can just use two the same length as the front screw?

    Vanguard vs Mark V

    I have a vanguard and a mark v. The Vanguard is a fine rifle but the fit and finish, trigger, and stock are much lower quality. I don't need fancy things but when I pick up my Mk V I think this is a nice rifle, not so much with the vanguard. My main complaint with the Vanguard is the safety. It...

    You can also try the flipflop recoil pad. Saves about 2 ounces. The hunter stock pad weighed 2.8 ounces (with screws) and my flipflop recoil pad weighs .53oz and you don't need screws for the install. The flipflop recoil pad doesn't feel very good from the bench but I haven't noticed while...
