    Kimber Mountain thoughts

    Yea, that gunsmith is dead wrong, that's one of the easiest triggers to adjust and is excellent IMO. As for the action its a CRF so you really cant compare it to a tikka PF action in regards to smoothness of cycling, but yes the Kimber does smooth up nicely with use. Btw you made an excellent...

    Wind Layer Options

    The Patagonia houdini is a great option, I've done a decent amount of bushwhacking with it and its fairly durable for what it is. As with any ultralight stuff it is more fragile escpellialy once the fabric starts to wear. Might be worth looking at the arcteryx sqamish as well.

    Personally id get get a 20 and a 0 deg down bag, whatever brand/sizing works best for you is your choice. In addition id get a summer pad and a winter pad, and exchange them with aforementioned bags as temps dictate. I am fond of my xlite pad for the summer and my xtherm+zlite pad for winter.
