Unfortunately the Kimber is CM and not SS.

As for staying with the Kimber, that is a given as there isn't many LH 6x47 Kimber of Oregon M84's to choose from and it is the sweetest rifle I've ever held.

From what I see it is a whole lot easier to build a 10-12 lbs rifle than it is to build a 5 lbs one. More expensive too.

Well I'd still like to see some of the other LW Savage builds out there but I'm afraid Tacticool/LR is the order of the day right now and there just may not be too many folks building true LW Savages.
