I looked at a Kimber Montana yesterday. I liked the rifle but, the stock felt like it was covered in sandpaper-very rough feeling. Does the stock feel rough on the ones that you own? I did not look at a second one to see for myself. | ||

Most composite stocks feel like a stump to me, and, like you, my cheek didn't agree with the surface of the Kimber, it does feel like sandpaper, thus my reasoning for the purchase of a blue Kimber 308 with a slim nice wood stock, and even got a big discount because it was wood and blue!! I love my little wooden blue Kimber!!...Im in the minority on this clip I fear!!

cj I have two Kimber Montanas and like the stock on both of them. Never noticed any issue with roughness, of course Ray says I am thick skinned.

I appreciate a nice piece of wood on a rifle, I just don't want to scar it up while hunting. I have a couple of HS Precision stocks and like them. I will look at some more Montana's before I make my decision. | |||

scratching up wood, scratching up a composite, whats the difference, both can be refinished, but I like the scars on my wood stocks, the lack of blue, the memories of great hunts that go with honest wear and tear, its beautiful...

That stock got a workover. I shortened the grip cap 1/8" and heavily radiused all the sharp corners. Then I sanded all of the factory paint off down to the gell coat. Several coats of black Fusion are step #1 in the paint process Step #2 calls in the texture....Krylon Stone Over that I lay several coats of sage colored Krylon Add over the top of that Krylon marbling paint then a coat of matte clear All of my composites get this treatment ________________________________________________ Maker of The Frankenstud Sling Keeper Proudly made in the USA Acepting all forms of payment | |||

Ted Really nice stuff! Those last two photos should answer about ten thousand questions asked every fall as to whether the 30-06 is adequate for elk and plains game. | |||

My Kimber Montana stock is plain grey and has the rough finish which gives great grip even when hunting the wet bush here in NZ. One problem I would like to mention is the front sling swivel. The thread stripped from the aluminium nut moulded into the stock. A friend had the same problem. I just glued it with Epoxy and now it does not move. "When the wind stops....start rowing.

My 270 Montana's stock was smoothed a bit then repainted so is a bit finer in texture than factory though not slippery at all. A chap up in Chico Cal did it for me. I also had him install a slightly thinner, lightweight recoil pad (from Italian made shotguns) that dropped a couple of oz off the azz end. All in with a Leupold 6x in Tally's it goes 1 oz over 6# and handles better than anything I own. | |||

That's one true and unpretentious hunting rifle/scope! It really just doesn't get any better than that. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

I've got one in .300 WM. It is an ugly stock, but very light. If I didn't make my own lightweight .375, I would have bought a .375 Talkeetna, ugly stock and all. Dave | |||

Just out of curiosity what is the process to spider webbing, it seems neigh on impossible to me but some have told me its a piece of cake?? don't see how that could be.. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Ray, the can of paint has some type of splatter nozzle on it. Hold the can upright and sweep right to left across the base color. Depending on speed of the sweep, it will be light or heavy. A couple of passes on some cardboard will help you set the pace. If it's too light, you can always do a second pass. Because of the nozzle, it really is that easy | |||

Get some spider webs ,spray with paint , while paint is still wet,wrap the stock with it. Spiders ?you already have those , they live in those butt pads that have a series of holes !! LOL | |||
