Kimber's 84M series was boosted this year by the addition of the Montana, the company's first stainless/synthetic rifle. Weighing in at five pounds, five ounces in the heaviest chambering, it is built to be a serious hunting tool. And, like all 84M models, it was designed specifically as a short-action rifle. Available in .243 Win., .260 Rem., 7mm-08 Rem. and .308 Win., this is a great deer rifle for hunters who hoof it through rugged country. A flush-mounted magazine holds five rounds, and standard barrel length is 22 inches. Suggested retail: $1,053. Kimber, (800) 880-2418, www.kimberamerica.com
