What scope on Kimber Montana .308?

[6eagle]

Right on.

I shot a couple quick groups this morning at 30 in-lb and initially it looked like it was holding (with federal premium 180gr partitions).

Switched to hornady 150gr superformance sst's and immediately noticed a gap to the witness mark, though seemingly not as bad as at 25 in-lb. Seems like the snappy recoil impulse is more likely to slip the scope. I forgot my torque wrench but I think 35 in-lb will work.

I went with the Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x40mm with the green mil-dot reticle on my Kimber Montana 7mm-08...tough and lightweight. Mounted the scope with Talley Lightweight rings, but would probably opt for the Leupold BackCountries.

I have the leupolds on both my Kimbers. The rear base hangs way over the action. It doesn't seem to affect function at all, but it looks very out of place.

hmmm—that is odd; no problem cleanly ejecting rounds?

Not for me. I have two 84m rifles that both have them on, and everything functions fine. Just drives me nuts looking at it.

Good deal!

Kimbers and SWFAs are like PB&J, the 3-9 or fixed 6 would be perfect on your .308 and a significant step up in utility if you plan on dialing
