Anchorage Nov 23, 2009 #7 When Kimber receives it appropriate They are really second to none when it comes to manufacturing unit rifles. I have a 8400 Montana and wouldn't hesitate to order An additional. In actual fact I'll most likely buy a eighty four Montana for just a sheep rifle subsequent calendar year.
