257Del,
I wish Santa would have given me one just like that. But he didn't.
I am sure he intended to, but liked it so much he kept it for himself. I'm sure that is what happened. Can't blame him a bit.
I hope it turns out great for you. Merry Christmas.

Sold a couple of rifles; rat holed the rest and bought myself a Christmas present......should be here Friday...Hope it's a shooter... Kimber Classic Select 257 Roberts I did the exact same thing on the same gun/cartridge. Mines been in the mail for over a week, holiday time shipping goes to slow. Hopefully in this week in time for dad to find a load and me to ventilate a doe in the Kansas doe season.

I was actually wanting to get a Montana, but when I saw this one it was love at first sight. I've had good luck with a couple of Kimbers already, hope it continues. Going back and forth on the scope decision. I have a Leupold FX-II 6X36 and a VX-II 2-7X33 in the safe doing nothing, and I'm leaning towards the 2-7. I'll post some better pics when it gets here.

Just finished bolting a 3-9X40 VXII on Cheesy's .257 using Talley lightweights. That scope does look a little on the large side for this little rifle.
If the weather cooperates I'll start load work tomorrow. That short magazine box will keep loads .10 shorter than what I load for my Ruger Roberts. Several of the bullets I've measured will need to jump .05 or so to reach the lands. I know Sam Olsen and some others have had good luck with some jump in their .257 Kimbers, we'll see how it goes with this one.
Wish I had a decent camera, this thing has some great figure with lots of contrast!

Those Classic Select Kimber rifles sure are pretty, hope they shoot as good as they look.
