Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Kimber Hunter 84M

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 😎

My 308 is a shooter

To be fair, that is a fluke. But in all honesty with loads it likes it shoots as good as any rifle I own. I wouldn't say it is picky about what it shoots well, but like a lot of rifles it won't shoot everything I put in it well. But it does well enough with most of the loads I've tried.

I bought my son a kimber hunter 84m in 308. I put a Burris ffII 4X16 on it. It shot easy five shot group at 3/8 inch at 100 yards with Federal blue box. I ended up keeping that one as a fluke and bought him another one that is the same set up that shoots about 3/4 inch at 100 yards with the same ammo. He likes it and takes it moose hunting. I have been pretty happy with my Barrett and Fierce rifles but its nice to have a bull pen of brush rifles that I can take and not worry about beating up.
