I've been wanting a Kimber Montana/Adirondack/Mountain Ascent for a while. The price and my inability to make a decision on caliber hampered my quest.
Monday I noticed a Kimber Montana in 243 online at the Cabelas Gun Library in Lacey Washington. DROOL.
Then I thought, "I wonder how close my ole buddy BlaineG is to that store?". A few Google map seconds later, I realize he's pretty close. So I say to him, next time you're in Cabelas, see if they still have that gun and what shape it's in. I'm hoping it will be gone by the time he remembers to drop by. Oh noooooo! He makes a beeline down there, looks it over, and calls to tell me what great shape it is in. AND, he chews them down on price a bit. So all I have to do is call them and give my credit card number (that's what it's for, right?)
So...less than 4 days later, I am much poorer and have another gun to cram in the safe!
With friends like that, who needs alimony and taxes?

You should have seen his face when I showed him the gold operation and told him that gold came from there.
There was a glint of evil in his eye!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bet that's a light, handy critter. I had a short, ugly Remington 600 in 243 once upon a time. Good lord that thing would throw flames and bust eardrums. I shot a lot of coyotes for hides with it and I swore it was the muzzle blast that knocked them over stone dead. Got short of money in college and sold it. Shoulda kept it and sold more fur, but the market was down and I was desperate. It went to a sheep and corn farmer who carried it everyday on in the truck, tractor, and combine. Would love to have it now, or better yet one in 358.

That's why we were all worried about your safety a while back

At just a hair over 5 pounds, I don't think I'd want one in a bigger caliber...like 325 WSM!
I may be able to tweak some handloads to reduce the muzzle flash. I wanted a Mountain Ascent, but didn't want to pay twice the price to get a threaded barrel and save 4 ounces of weight.
I'm really fond of 58 grain Z-max (V-max) going very, very fast, though! They will vaporize a prairie dog and hollow out a coyote.

It's in my hands already. It would have been 3 days but took 4 since the FedEx guy was new and tried to deliver to my FFL before they opened the first day.
Most people don't know that a Cabelas Gun Library will mail a firearm for $25, either to another Cabela's store or to your FFL. It makes perusing the online Gun Library very, very dangerous
