Kimber Montana is what you want. Replumbed with a contour-duped 1:7” Rock, add a mag box expansion job, and it’s unstoppable with 75/77’s. Lightning in a bottle and you can spot every hit with a fixed 6.
Lightweight. Low cost. Non-slip. Pliable. The sling for super lights.

For weightier rifles, with which I like to spread the load out a bit, I do like neoprene based straps from Uncle Mikes as well as the venerable Montana leather sling. The latter...
Selling a VAIS brake. Purchased a used rifle and this was threaded on. Not a brake guy so figured someone may be able to use it. Threads are 1/2" x32 tpi. Came off of a 7WSM. I can/will provide any measurements requested. Thanks.
Now $55 shipped via USPS Priority
Step 1: read this and make sure your scope is mounted correctly. https://www.rokslide.com/forums/threads/scope-mounting-to-maintain-zero.78482/
What’s the optic and mounting system? That’d be where I’d look first. Many scopes are not mounted correctly and fellas are quick to blame other things...
Nothing. Killed more deer at my family camp than any single cartridge (log book goes back three decades and legend doubles that span).
A Kentworth W900 will get you to the grocery store and back, too.
Selling a Tyto 1.1 that is as-new. Comes with box, 5 replacement sealed size 60 blades and black kydex sheath. It’s an extra. $55 shipped via usps w/tracking. Pm me with interest.
What’s with the 30-06 recommendations for deer under 300 yards? Do you guys mail order nudie magazines like old fellas as well? Let me guess... “it worked for my grandpa and it works for me too.”
There has been some grossly inaccurate information posted in this thread.
T3x in 6.5 cm. Some guys will bring (and have brought) emotion and feelings in this thread but the T3x in 6.5cm meets your needs to a t and there’s nothing objectively better in your price range with factory ammo in mind.
(Re: the 105 hpbt) I was surprised. I should specify, it penetrated the near side ribs just fine. 2-3” entry hole after skinning. A few pieces made it into the offside ribs. Nothing to the hide though. I always read that they dug well. I’ll keep shooting them into deer. I have plenty of them and...
Get a little splashy?
Semi related, I put a 105 hpbt (saami 243 @ 80 yards) into a 2.5 yo northern Michigan whitetail buck’s ribs on Monday. No shoulder bone or meat - pure broadside ribs. Complete upset on a near side rib and a few small fragments made it to the far ribs. Killed well but left...
