I bought my first Kimber from a fine fellow I met on here. It shoots really well. I’m eager to hunt with it this fall. It’s a 280, never had one before. I’d buy the one your looking at, seems like a good price Going to look at in the AM. It has a Blurriss LRS scope on it, I think it is a glorified Full Field with a lit dot. Manager told me it had a bump or two on the stock. Will decide on it or another one he has .

I have an 8400 Classic in .300 WSM with a VXIII 2.5-8, B&C reticle that I’d be glad to send down the road for $1349. I’ve just lost interest in the rifle. Nice wood, good shape (no perch belly and no black forend tip.) I’d probably include a set of RCBS dies.

Pre 64 model 70, Tikka, etc. etc..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

It was an item of interest , if it is beat up then I buy something else or leave the store.

If you're a chubby chaser. That's the 8400 in '06 84L much better platform

Classic selects are nice. It’s probably the least popular chambering however. What’s the scope worth?

Or the illumination failed. I’ve never had one. Wondering if anyone here has experience with it? Oldelkhunter is probably right. Only worth about $200

Ended up buying it , will pick it up tomorrow. Metal looks brand new. One small dent in the stock. The scope is like brand new as well, It will hit the classifieds in a few. It was a limited run by Burris. 3-9x40 LRS

Gun is better than expected , the scope exceeds all expectations. I even got some $$$ knocked off the price.

Happy to report that tdd4570 bought the 300 Win mag 8400 I mentioned above. The scope was a 3.5-10X though. A pretty good deal I believe.
