Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles A Classic 6.5 Creedmoor

Yes, I know, hence the winking emoticon at the bottom of the post indicating that it was a facetious remark, made in the hopes of inducing a smile on the faces of the incurably literal.

A Longmaster .308 was the most accurate rifle I ever owned, or fired. Sadly, it went down the road due to an urgent need for cash.

Very nice rifle. Pretty good deal for $1000.00. Hopefully your spin of the roulette wheel is positive.

I think the roulette wheel has shrunk. I have heard of very few of the 6.5 84Ms which wouldn’t shoot something well.

I think the Kimber roulette wheel has more to do with the "spinner" than the wheel.

There's some technique involved in shooting Kimbers well; some will never understand.

For $1,000 bones, nothing can touch a Kimber 84 Classic (In my opinion and experience thus far).

I gotta agree.

And I'm surprised they held the price down so low on this one.

Looks like you got a real nice one too.

Yeah man, that is a nice looking rifle and an excellent price to boot 👍....I think "Kimber roulette" is mostly a thing of the past, I have purchased 8 NIB Kimber rifles over the past 18 months and they have all been excellent rifles.......Hb

A 5/8" red pad woulda been nice. LOL. What's the barrel length? Does seem reasonable for a limited edition.

Thanks Fellas.........

I"m excited to get it. I'm assuming the barrel length is 22", it looks like it ought to be in that neighborhood from the pics. It's interesting the Kimber website doesn't mention barrel length on this particular rifle.

Yep. 22"

Saw it posted somewhere?

Thanks Whelen. I figured I overlooked it.

With an MSRP at $1168, I would think retail would be just under a $1000? Won't last long.

I saw them at $980 shipped, but it's luck of the draw on the wood.

Should be gone soon.

I paid $1,030 shipped.............no credit card fees. But, as you can see, I got some pretty decent figure on the stock. A few others on Gunbroker right now with plywood planks for wood. I sure as heck wouldn't buy any Kimber 84 Classic or Classic Select without shopping the wood grain. I've seen some from bare figured plywood to AAA.

Sometimes you gamble and win.

But I agree. It's worth $50 to get a nice piece of wood.

I was thinking the 6.5 C ain’t old enuff to BE classic. Now a Classic Rifle in 6.5 C
is annudder thing.

"Classic" refers to the name of the rifle. Which isn't anything new, they are just offering the "Classic" rifle in a new cartridge. No one complained when Winchester offered their " Classic" line of rifles in the brand new WSM line of cartridges.

And M 70s are classic in MOST people's opinions.


Jerry

yeah "Classic" refers to the Kimber 84M's model just like "Montana" or "Open Country"...its really not that hard......Good luck with your cool new rifle 👍....Hb

Thats a really nice kimber. If i were going to make a "classic", it would actually be a classic CRF model 70. Been thinking about turning my 7mm08 into a 6.5 cm, just like this Kimber. Great idea!!
