Since its winter and not much going on we should get a KS picture thread going showing everyones favorite KS and what vintage. Guessing there are some good ones with several campfire members, might also be helpful for those looking for a KS. Cabelas Gun Library has another KS listed online.... if anyone is looking. Anyone know how to find the date of manufacture etc on these? That’s a sleeper. It’s actually a stainless gun. Should be, and appears to be, a McMillan. Date code is unreadable but will be ‘92 or later. Edit - strike that, the above refers to th current GI 338. I don’t see another Cabela’s listing. Also, the seller has the above details in his description, so it really isn’t a sleeper.

I have a M700 KS chambered in 338 Winchester magnum and I love it. Bought it in 1997. Brown Precision stock and stainless steel and will print 225 gr Accubonds into small clusters. Should be a McMillan unless someone swapped it. Sounds like a good one! What years were Brown Precision stocks used? I did think the earlier ones had the Brown. Ooops the 97 was McMillan. Sorry, was thinking 87.

I’ve posted this pair before. They’re a correctly handed KS pair to hunt the world. 300 H&H and 375 H&H. Both factory.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Here you go AKWolverine. Yes, it was used when I purchased an August of 97, but not sure of the year manufactured.

Great looking rifle. The date code is just in front of the SN and will tell you roughly when it was assembled (second letter will be M -92, N - 93, O- 94, P -95, Q - 96, or R-97.) I need to see the other side to tell you 100%; but 99% sure that’s a McMillan.

Thanks AK. I will check the date code but it is probably a 95 model. My father had purchased the same gun around that time. I borrowed it for a couple of hunts in 96 and loved the fit and how it handled.
So one August morning I was in my office when he called and said the LGS had the same gun on the rack that morning. Went and picked it up at lunch. 😁 It wore a 1.75x6 leupold for many years and a couple others until I mounted the 2x12 VX6 on it now.

Had Remington KS mountain rifle in 8mm rem mag. Little under 7 pounds. Vicious to shoot but very very accurate. Sold it here years ago I think.
