Anyone know why Kimber doesn't chamber the Hunters in .223?
I wish I knew!
In my opinion, an 8 twist .223 on the Hunter offering would be a good seller for Kimber.
I’d order one in a heartbeat 👍
Especially if they built it with a magazine that would allow an OAL of 2.5-2.6"!! 1:7 twist would be even more betterer.
X100, although I'd still be plenty happy with an 8 twist. I don't know how many .223 Montanas they sold, but a $700 Hunter would be in a different market, I can't imagine that they wouldn't make money.
Yeah, talking a little out of my league here.....my Ruger American is a 1:8 and seems to run pretty much anything I throw at it.
If 1:7 is mo betterer, then I’m all for it.
The Hunter vs my RAR is a no-brainer...... The RAR is a good truck gun and accurate, but a real truck axle compared to the Hunter.
The 7-08 Hunter I’m ordering is under $770 at a local Bi-Mart........ I absolutely don’t “need” it, but they’ll never be cheaper and will be a great tool to let a grandchild use - and I can play with it in the meantime. Having 1400+ bullets of various weights sitting on the shelf to load, makes it attractive as well 😎
