Neat! Two 6x47 KoO M84's in the same thread.

What's the rifling twist on it?

I'd love to see pics of it if you have any.




Below should be a pic of the 6X47 (top), the Anschutz Hornet (centre)and another Kimber 84 that I have in 222 (bottom). The 6X47 is a very trim rifle and is really nice to carry. At present I have fitted a 6X42 S&B and it suits the rifle and its intended use quite well.

I was a bit lucky a few years back when I stumbled across an estate sale and bought 4 LH rifles from that sale. I'm very happy with all of them as the previous owner looked after them really well. The 22 Hornet I picked up in the UK when I used to live there.

I understand Kimber used various twist barrels in the 6X45 and 6X47 rifles that they built. Mine has a 1 in 9" twist and easily stabilises 100 gr bullets. In terms of performance, its sweet spot seems to be with 80-87 gr bullets. I cant imagine Kimber built many of these in LH.

Tell us about your rifle and the loads you're using ?
