^ nice if you happen to be shooting factory hunting ammo, let me know if you find something that it likes

Will do, need to find a leupold ultralight to top it and go shoot it. Sportsmans gave me a box of hornady 142s to go with ot

Come on guys, keep the pics coming on these rifles! I am thinking of a 7-08 Kimber Hunter / Leupy UL combo myself.

bought a spare mag, usually carry three extra rounds in my pocket- I'll just carry a loaded mag now

put it on the scale to see how much it weighed

scope came today Swaro 3-9x36 4A reticle, came in a little under spec at 11.8 oz

Cost ?

picked it used on another forum for 6.5 bills

I had a chance to view a Leupold VX-2 Lightweight 3-9, a VX-3i 3.5-10 and Swaro 3.5-10, side by side at a local store right at dusk- all nice glass, but the Swaro really stood out, so I went on the hunt for a used Z3- I just couldn't part with $8-900 for new

Looking forward to seeing her all set up.

I purchased a trigger pull scale recently and wanted to see what the Kimber broke at- it felt light and crisp, but really didn't know what it was- supposed to be factory set at 3.5 lbs, low and behold spot on at 3.5 lbs I know a lot of guys run them at around 2.5 lbs, but I think I'll leave mine be for the time being

Well in a rather unusual turn of events I ended trading a shotgun for a .257 Featherweight from a gentleman in Ohio, giving me a matched pair of FWTs (have a .06); soooo... tough to justify a 6.5 and a .257, so if anyone from Montana wants a good deal on 6.5 Hunter

My hunter trigger measured 4 pounds 1 oz on Lyman scale. I adjusted it down to 2 pounds 12 oz last night. Can't wait to shoot it.
