Don’t know if anyone’s looking, or if it’s a good deal, but Cabelas Dundee has a used Kimber Talkeetna .375 for $1150. It doesn’t show up on their website. I don’t find any sold on Gunbroker to compare it to. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/9M37kmbS/IMG-4574.jpg)

WOW! Congratulations to 375 PigGuy!
I needed it like another hole in the head, as I already have two .375’s…..but, have loved the Talkeetna since it’s conception!
It was what I attempted to build in ‘89, and I got close. But, Winchester didn’t have SS firearms at that time!
The only thing that the Talkeetna lacks from being the perfect “all around - do it all” rifle is to have a competent gunsmith run a chamber reamer in it making it a .375 AI.
If it’s not obvious by now…….PigGuy, I’m envious! 😁 memtb

Damn, I drove right past that store yesterday around 2:00pm. I would have purchased that in a heartbeat but I had not seen this post. I have owned a Talkeetna in that past and gave it to my son, one for my grandson would have been nice.

I have several grandkids that might be interested in a rifle such as this once I kick the bucket! If not, they should get a great return on their investment! memtb

When I looked at it in the store, my girlfriend told me to buy it for re-sale (she's a terrible enabler). I said the problem I have is buying it and then not selling it, been there done that and have several t-shirts. So now I post "heads up" for you guys, like the M70 Stainless Classic .375 a couple weeks ago.

Man, what a deal. I’ve been looking for one of these. Ugh… Man do I feel your pain! My wife, who certainly doesn’t think that I need another .375 H&H, recognized that it was a hellofa deal……and said I should’ve jumped on it, had I known about it! I hope she still feels that way if I ever find a S&W 460 XVR 5” at a good price!😁 memtb

That’s a great find. I got one few weeks ago for $1k shipped off another forum and was stoked about that but I been wanting another for my brother. He loves the one I got. Mines currently at my smith being shortened a little bit for easier carrying here in Alaska.

I've wanted one since I started working in Talkeetna in the summers. Have yet to find one other than gun broker type stuff and I just have not gone that far yet
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I’d rather have a talkeetna than my stainless classic. I wish I’d bought one when they were readily available.
