The photos on their website http://www.kimberamerica.com/open-country will need to be updated but production changes to this gun will include:

  • 2 sling swivels up front
  • threaded barrel

Delivery is going to be a while, the stock is completely different that the Montana, Adirondack, Mountain Ascent stock.

Stock is going to have more of a beavertail forend and a higher comb, much closer in profile to the 8400 Patrol models in the past, or the current Pro-Varmint stock, both of which are laminated wood:

The Open Country will be using a carbon/ kevlar layup like the mountain guns and looks to drop a ton of weight (my 8400 patrol weighs 8.5# naked with a 20" barrel, the open country is advertised at 6lbs 15oz. with a 24" barrel. I could do without the camo patterm, but I can fix that pretty easily =]
