Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Kimber Model 84L

Been lookin at this rifle,tryin to get it off my mind. IMO what a rifle! Mauser claw pillar and glass bedding beautiful classic lines,Agrade Walnut!!!,plus in .270 win. Maybe I can take my .270 tang safe Ruger and part with it, never thought I'ed do that. Just thinkin out loud I guess bear with me....later

According to some members here.....can't hit the broad side of a barn with them.

I, myself, have personally had great luck with 257 Bob's in both Classic Select and Montana variations, a 223 Montana, and a 25-06 Montana. They are all terrible shooters......with the 257 Montana shooting 75 Gr. VMAX's into the .2's (3 shots at 100 yards). Just awful.

And yes.....they are a fantastic value. Do a search and you can get some more poop on them.

Love my little 270 84L MT... cut the barrel to 23" (fits the rifle better IMO than the 24" length).

Took an elk with it last fall, plan on doing the same this fall.

They dont shoot well.

Recently purchased a Kimber 84L in 270, broke in the barrel with Winchester factory ammo and was getting acceptable results. Now is the time to reload to see what it really likes! Anyway go for it and don't look back. We only go around once! Good Luck!!!!

They are some wonderful rifles. I have two of the M's, a 223 and a 338. I have always liked the wood stocked Kimbers. A 30/06 Classic wouuld be wonderful.

28lx-what kind of rest, bench set up are you using? Tripod front and bunny bags, sand bags and or some sort of rest like a Lead sled.

Thx

I handled a Montana 280AI recently that another forum member owns, and all I can say is wow. I honestly don't think there is a better lightweight rifle out there, nor one that can top the 84L.

Between the 84L MT and the 84M MT I go back and forth between which I like better... So I've got one of each (270 and 308) which pretty well settles the problem!

Ya, looks like they shoot real bad, Ha,Ha, thanks for the look at some fine shootin. Seems like the 84L is a factory customIMO....later

In my humble opinion, the 84L and 84M are the best values out there in a hard nosed foul weather rifle. Generally ready to go out of the box with a minimal amount of effort.

I have 3 to cover it all

22LR Classic AA Walnut red pad pre-3 2002
708 84M Classic walnut black pad pre-3 2003
3006 84L Montana 2012

The all are topped with V-III's

Dober,

Tripod front rest with Protektor narrow owl ear front bag the rear is a Protektor rabbit ear heavy bag.

Kool, that's some awesome shooting with such a light gun and off that system!

Have you bedded that rig?

Dober

Thanks Dober. I didnt do anything to this one thats how it shot out of the box.

Thanks guys guess I'll get with it and start workin a deal.....later
