got one! I was at my LGS to pickup my new pistol and spotted this on the rack with a good sale price.I ran thru the spec's real quick,made me happy,the voices said do it and now it's home....223,9" twist all stainless and a laminated stock.
Just what I had in my mind for a new 'Yote gun.I like 60 to 69 gr bullets,so I think this will work.I plan a bore-coat test and run a couple of different scopes on it this year.....

Rifle: Best of luck with the Kimber Pro-Varmint.
I have never done any work with the 223 and bullets heavier than 55 grains myself, so I don't have anything to add other than good wishes and enjoy that fine looking model of Varmint Rifle.
Be sure and keep us advised of its progress.

Why the thumbs down? I thought I was going to read a negative review!
I am shooting the 68 HPBT in my AR-15. I have killed two coyotes with it. The first one was hit a little low but well. The coyote yipped, and ran off. I tracker her down, made it maybe 40 yards with a LARGE blood trail. Bullet worked great, 1" exit

Rifle- Evidently you don't know the rules of the forum. You're not allowed to post positive reviews of Kimbers. Sorry to break the news.

Give us some pics.  I came sooo close to getting one of these rifles. I kicked myself in the ass for hesitating too long on the one that sold in the classifieds.
