Is this Kimber's answer to the Ruger American?

Says it will be available in 6.5 Creedmoor also.

Removable magazine and I don't think the stock will be up to Montana quality.

At $885 MSRP what sort of street price should we expect?

Someone needs to buy one of these and wring it out for the Campfire. smile

Assuming the 22/250 has a 1-14" twist. If so they hit it out of the park....

Looks like the trigger guard is part of the stock, oogly and cheap.

Well thought-out rifle. With a street price around $700 it should be real competition for others near that price point. Stock is sort of an ugly color though...

I'll wager that the greatest single issue with this rifle in the near term will be its availability. CP.

Looks like a great idea.
I wouldn't make to many assumptions based on the stock - from the pic on the site it looks like it is in the "artist rendering" stage - not an actual photograph.

Is it a "regular" Kimber in a plastic stock or is it a different barreled action?

Hmmmmm... want to see on and handle one, but it is offered in 257 Roberts and at that price it might be worth playing with.

Sure looks like a standard Kimber thrown in a less UBER stock.

IMO, companies would be "home running" if they'd do a faster twist than 1-14 for it. The 22-250 would have a lot more versatility with a faster twist.

And you just took 3 swings without getting close to the sarcasm.

I might even buy a slow twisted POS Kimber Hunter 22-250.
