    Yes the 14" looks very portable and with chokes! Must have a decent bark

    Hey All. Just finished my long time project that I started last year, can't rush these things aye... My second 260Imp 30deg.
    Cheers to the following good buggers for: Defiance Rebel Sheep Port action, Hawkins bottom metal, Wyatt box and Manners stock complements of Cam at Alpine Precision. Timney Calvin Elite 2 stage trigger & brake from Greg at Terminator Products. Bartlein barrel & VX5 from a couple of forum members unwanted items All smithing done by Mark at Desert Guns
    I'm not into shiny stuff, so it got squirted in Graphite Black Cerakote.

    Back in the #27gang. Kimber Montana. Light, simple. Will possibly put a Kimber brake on it but will see how I go, keen to just keep it real light and simple and keep the 24" barrel.
