G'Day Fella's,
I was away over the weekend for a hunt and some range work.
Whilst I seen a few Fallow Deer, and Skippy's, I didn't fire a shot.
Whilst I wasn't hunting with my new Kimber Montana in .25-06, I had it up at the range, running-in it's barrel!
I really do like most aspects of this hunting rifle but there are a couple of aspects, that I'm not happy with.
One is easily rectifiable the (trigger/stock situations), the other, the three position safety, isn't!
Most of the hunting I do, is stalk and snap shoot at game animals. Because of this, I really do like to have a safety that is positioned on the top tang of a firearm.
As you probably know, the Kimber has the best example (tight tolerance, between component parts), of a Winchester Model 70 three position safety, I have seen on a commercial rifle!
So the Pro's on the Kimber, far outnumber this thing for me!!!
The other Con, is the that the level of the synthetic stock, either side of the trigger/trigger guard, is about 2mm or 0.080" (3 x Hacksaw blade thicknesses) proud and interferes with my trigger finger, when I'm trying to shoot well!
Have a look at the attached images, as they say a picture is worth a thousand words!!!
This is an easy fix, as I will set the stock up in the milling machine and remove this excessive material.
I just need to assess the possibilities on this, as there are a couple of ways to achieve this!
I hope this, may be of some assistance, to others!
Doh!
Homer
