I was at a lgs today and saw they had the stainless Kimber hunters on sale for $699.00. It seems like a good deal to me. I've been eyeballing these rifles for some time now. I damn near bought one when it was $850.00. I've also heard Kimber has made some good improvements in their production, so I'm also wondering if buying a newer Kimber is as much of a roulette game as it used to be. Anyone here buy a new kimber hunter lately and if so, is that a good price? Thanks...

That’s a very good buy - imo.
I have two of them now (6.5CM & 7-08) and really enjoy them.
After using the CM in the field, I find it pretty unappealing to carry a heavier rifle.
Accuracy from the CM is stellar - the 7-08 is brand new and still unfired.
I wish they’d put out a fast twist .223....... I’d be buying another 👍

I bought one about a year ago for $650. One place had a black friday deal for the 30-06 version for under $600.
I like mine. Its a 270 Win and shoots good. Of the few factory loads that I tried, it liked the Federal 140 grain Trophy Bonded Tip the best. It was right around 3/4" at 100 yards.
The trigger was a bit heavy for me, about 4.5 lbs. Now it is at 3 lbs. The action has smoothed out too. It was a bit rough at first, but now its nice and smooth.
I carried mine for most of the blacktail and elk season this year when I could make it out. It was nice to carry.

I thought about finding one in a 280 AI.. also as someone mentioned I think it was ky guns that was selling them on Black Friday in 30-06 for $550..

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Thats a real good price compared to what the local stores here are selling them for.

KY Gun had the Hunter in 30-06 for $549, but they're out of stock now. I scored one. $699 is a good price.
