Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Thoughts on Kimber...

If their CS department changed with their location, you may get better results. I called Remington the other day and got a pleasant and helpful Southern Belle on the phone. But I may be bias.

My .30-06, bought used on gunbroker. Extractor needed replaced, wouldn’t always grab the empty.

Once figured out how to hold it on the bench it shoots around an inch with a few loads.



I’ve played roulette 3 times with used Kimbers, think I’ve won each time.

.257 Roberts is nice too



Don’t have a pic of the classic .308 they started the addiction.

Good stuff Cheesy!
I like to keep a Kimber or two hanging around...

Or laying around...

Well if you're buying a new one it's hardly roulette. I have 3 kimber MT's right now and none of them shoot more than 3/4" of an inch at 100 with 5 shot groups. With my .223 Kimber MT I could probably cover 5 shots with a dime.

I doubt the select would be any different.

You'd be missing out.

That's a stud

I bought a new Kimber classic 84M ( 7mm/08) way back in early 2000s that was a Gem. I most recently ( within the past few months) bought a used Kimber 84L Classic .270 win off Gunbroker. During the Lockdown, I had my smith send it off to "300 Below" for Cryo treatment. I did it for grins before I even shot it. All he did was adjust the trigger, and it shoots bughole groups with several loads, and it that skinny barrel doesn't walk off when hot. And if I couldn't have it in 30-06 ( which I wanted) since it had a 24" barrel, I accept it in the .270. From coyotes to elk, Perfect. I then, off another Forum Classified, bought an older Kimber 8400 Classic ( wood but stainless metal) in 300 WSM. This one just had the trigger adjusted where I wanted it and it is also a wonderful, wonderful rifle! It is a shooter w/o being cryo treated. So...I suggest you buy that baby! ha I torque them to 55 Inch Pounds.
Now, I am a sucker, pure dee looney about, FN commercial actions and clones. So for another 30-06 ( I have not had one for awhile though I wanted it in the 84L Classic) and just bought "what looks to be an unfired" Mark X with wonderful wood/blue, also off Gunbroker.. So, you just "have to have" a 30-06, somewhere....ha.

I could sell all of my rifles keeping my 270 Win Montana and stainless NH M70 375 H&H and be happily set for all I will chase. The Montana is sub-MOA with the 140 gr TSX.

Ditto almost as much as Glocks

I would re-barrel it to a .270 Ingwe.

I too own a .30-06.

Great rifle, loves the 200 grain Partition.

Currently have 4 Kimbers. All are sub MOA without much fuss, feed and extract flawlessly.

I'm looking at another .30-06 with a lovely stick of walnut with an eye towards a 7x57 rebarrel.

You...are a Heretic.

I love me some Glocks....

Four Montana’s here.

Can not past the looks Ingwe but they are good guns in all reality.

Kinda like Sarah Jessica Parker, good actress but that horseface and nose....YUK

Not wild about Glocks, but Kimber's CS turned me into a hater. No go gauge closes easily, chamber cast shows .100" too long... so they polished the bolt face and refinished the stock. 338WM...

Flattery will get you nowhere.

Ted,
Which ones are you bringing to Pa. next month? I only know of the 308.
