Thought I'd jump in again on the question of stock fit. I'm 5'7 and a fairly athletic 170 lbs. I find that the stock design of the Kimber handles recoil very well. I have been surprised at the very comfortable felt recoil of the rifle. Some years ago I had a custom 6mm Rem, that weighed at least 3 lbs more, and as I recall, felt recoil seemed noticably greater than the Kimber with similar loads. I like my Kimber Montana so much that I just ordered an 8400 in 270WSM and french walnut stock. | ||

The 84M's comb is high but fits me and obviously not some others. The effect of this high comb is quite a straight line from the bore to the butt plate compared to older rifles. I can see the 58 gr bullets hit from the very light 243 Montana but not from an old M70 with 50 gr bullets and that rifle goes 11 pounds! I can see them hit out of the Swift when loaded with the 40 gr bullet. Three of my four Kimbers now have Burris Signature Zee rings and that's a very high ring even in the so called medium size. No doubt one should try a gun before buying it. | |||
