I looked at a Hunter model in the store a couple days ago. Looked like a nice rifle that could use a little polishing and fine tuning. Didn't seem to be all that light though. I think if I bought one and it functioned flawlessly, as it should, I can work around getting it to shoot well enough and the bolt would be butter smooth when I was done too. Been thinking about taking the plunge myself. Wondering if I'll be pleasantly surprised or horribly disgusted? I like the features and baby sized model 70 action though..

Kimber lists the weight of the Hunter model chambered in .243 Win as 5lbs 10oz's, thats pretty light in My book...I really dont think you will be taking much of a chance in buying one new in box, Kimber QC seems to have gotten much better lately.....Good luck....Hb


Sounds like a good report. I may seriously look into one of these rifles that seem to be priced right. Sub $800.00...
