Good luck, hope you've got customer service on speed-dial

What do you mean? So far I have good luck with them, both my 308 in the above mentioned model are extremely lightweight and accurate.

I've had 2 that had to go back for accuracy issues, ie; neither would shoot better than 3" The third was Hunter model that the magazine wouldn't take 3 rounds. The replacement was binding on the bolt & the replacement for that wouldn't seat in the magwell.

I'd heard 50/50 reports when i bought my first & I wish I'd learned my lesson after that one.

Thanks for sharing the experience. Both My Montana 308 and Mountain Ascent 308 are 1 MOA within 3 shots. I did glass bed the Montana myself. Mines are all post 2019 model when they improved the quality. Before that Montana was like 50/50 bet

I have had the Hunter in 6.5 Creed that would shoot a 2 1/2"  group at 200 yards with 129 gr bullets. With 140gr it was 3 1/2" groups. Now my Hunter in 280 AI shoots 160gr in 2" group at 200 yards. I cannot drink 4 cups of coffee and do this anymore

My Mountain Ascent is a MOA gun with factory ammo. Never had a problem with it.

I think Kimber discontinued the Montana line to promote Hunter line. Because they don’t have good profit for Montana with the expensive Carbon Fiber stocks
