New Rifle

My considerable yrs of being ridden hard and put away wet, not to mention a "football shoulder" finally led me to a Kimber Montana in 7/08 this past year. It weighs 6.5 lbs looded, scoped with Leupold 1.75-6 VX III and sling, 22" barrel, McMillen stock, controlled round feed and entirely stainless. Loaded with Barnes 140 TSX and Varget it gets 2950 fps. Recoil is not an issue. It's my current deer gun but would not hesitate using it on the "blue moon elk" with that load. Can't wait to work up 120 TSX's, shoud be pperfect for 'lopes.
Only problem: couldn't part with the 6/284, 260 Rem (handgun), 284 Win, and 280 Rem to make room for it. Since admitting I'm not so much a gun collector as a gun gatherer I no longer feel the need to justify the ones I keep. It's the ones I traded but should not have that give me fits.
