Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles EDIT: Tell me about rifles in 375 H&h -AK bush living

358wsm,
I've had my Kimber Talkeetna for about five years and have shot hundreds of rounds through it without a single issue. I competed in the Safari Challenge in MT and saw numerous rifle failures from other manufacturers. I had more than a few competitors ask me about the rifle when they saw how well it ran. Not only is it a tack driver putting 5 shots into .65 moa or better at 100 yards, it will run empty cases faster and smoother than many rifles will run loaded ammunition. It's my go to hunting rifle that I've used successfully on deer and elk out to 465 yards (furthest so far). The Talkeetna is a world class rifle for a reasonable amount of money. I've been offered more than twice what I paid for mine but it's not for sale and I would never part with it.


In this video I run 12 empty cases (fired and not resized) through the Talkeetna fast, medium and slow. This is how it functions.



In this video I run loaded rounds through the Talkeetna about as fast as I can. This is how it functions.



Here’s my Talkeetna.



This is how it shoots.
