Lightweight Scope Choice for Kimber Montana

[Gen273]

You’ve got the 2-7, run it and don’t look back.

I agree

I agree

I had my 2-7 mounted on a Model 7 and didn’t want to mess with that setup. Picked up a VX-3 2.5-8x36 off of a buddy, mounted it in some Talleys, and got it dialed in today. First rounds down range grouped well with factory Hornady Whitetail. Will try a couple of other rounds tomorrow.

My first real lightweight setup. This thing is so light it feels like a toy!

no, actually it was a pretty good fit. I had it mounted with talley lightweight low rings and I’d have zero issues doing it again, in fact I may do it again at some point.

are you guys unscrewing and dialing at farther ranges?

yeah sometimes.

Z3 3-10x42.
Spare the 1oz for more brightness when you need it
Vs the 36mm variant. It’s 13oz for the big one. Talley Lows and it weigh 15oz

Pick yourself up a Ti bolt handle and if it doesn’t have an aluminum trigger guard you can add one of them too.

Very basic trim rifles hope you dig it

I have z3 3-9x36 and Trijicon 3-9x40 AccuPoint, both at light and effective.

Which do you prefer?

On my Montana .308 I’ve had a 2.5-8x36 vx3, 3-10 SHV, and it now has a 3-9x40 Trijicon Accupoint. They’ve all worked well. I would have been happy to keep the SHV on it but bought another rifle it was better suited to and I prefer the weight of the Trijicon in it.

Whats the difference in glass between the shv and the trijicon?

VX2 2-7X33 or VX3i 2.5-8X36...My first choice would be 2-7, but really just splitting hairs. Both perfect glass for a 7-08 Montana.

Which do you prefer?

I prefer the trijicon, the mil-dot with green dot works for me. I like the option of longer shot if needed. Glass is great on both.

To my eye they are both very similar with the slightest of edge going to the SHV. They’re both good enough that I doubt I could ever tell the difference in a hunting situation.
