Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Price check Kimber Talkeetna 375

I have a friend wanting to sell a Kimber Talkeetna 375. Very nice condition with a minor stock ding. Any thoughts on appropriate pricing?

Thanks,

Most recent one on gunbroker went for $3k with 2 bids. I paid $2200 last year, buddy in ID found one for $1750 around the new year…. There’s quite a gap. But I’m no expert. Good luck

Same as above. Saw one posted on another site for $2200...I paid $1700 something..

I paid 1700 for mine almost 2 years ago; was a classified ad (not on this site though)

I'm actually in the market for one and have been for awhile. I haven't seen any listed, new or used, until this week.

Here's one listed at $2,900 w/ a few extra's (nothing of significant value but nice to haves).

same seller here too:

Obviously not priced right or it would have sold within an hour of being listed. It has some damage on the stock that can't help.

Hmmmm. I wonder if it's your buddies rifle (I'm making an Alaska connection that may or may not exist)?

Midway has them listed at about $2360 NEW with an expectant "in stock" mid summer. I already checked on the one listed and its been used by 2 owners with about 100 shots fired and a bit rough stock. Over Priced so I passed.

Not by buddies rifle. His hasn't been hunted and is in nice condition.

Top dollar will most likely be realized selling at gunbroker.com. $3K, as mentioned above, seems like what I'd expect it to sell for there. Kimber rifles are scarce. I for sure see someone paying $3K+ for some instant gratification. Even after selling fee's, it's probably the best place to net the most money.

As I mentioned, I've been looking for a while, have well above average Google-Fu skills, and there just hasn't been many even listed, gunbroker.com or forums/classifieds, so recent pricing is challenging.



Seller on the ads I posted has dropped his price to $2,500 shipped. Maybe keep an eye on those listings to get a sense of what something might sell for.

I found he has listed it here at well:

Rifle sold for $2250 locally for those that were curious including some reloading items.

I have mine listed for $2600 here and a few other sites. That includes Talley bases and 30mm rings as well as Hornady does and 150 PCs Norma brass with 50 virgins and 93 loaded

I like Kimbers, but for $2,600 I would...

buy a used Winchester classic in 375 H&H ($1,200)
22 oz Bansner stock ($450)
stainless (sporter contour) barrel by Lilja Benchmark etc ($380)
Then use the remaining funds to pay someone to chamber it and bed it and end up with a rifle that would shoot in the 0.2's/.3's and weigh 6.5 lbs.

Pretty easy decision. Though I do like Kimbers.

That's making me flinch just reading about it.

You will have a tough time making that weight using a model 70. I’d figure 7 pounds. But aside from the hair split, that would be a nice way to go.

Yah you might be right. Basing that on a 26" Whelen I have, medium sporter contour on 90's classic action, muzzle diameter is .665 (at 26"). It's 6 lbs 11 oz in a brown stock with steel bases and aluminum bottom metal. I guessed it might come in a little lighter with thinner barrel walls and a 24" barrel. But...I might be overlooking something.

The new Bansners will go 26 ounces with recoil pad.
