Look on website for Petersen's RifleShooter magazine and there is a video of the new 84L. This should be a slick rifle!

http://www.rifleshootermag.com/right on the main page... * Kimber Model 84L - a new rifle from Kimber. The "L" stands for "Long" and is a full two inches longer than the 84M. The first 450 84Ls will be made for the Rocky Moutain Elk Foundation and will feature upgraded wood and enhanced engraving etc. The 84L is six ounces heavier than the 84M and will be available to the consumer (non- Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Versions) around March 2010. Price will be similar to other 8400s.
"Years in the making, it's taken quite a bit of lobbying from the rifle guys to the people that didn't understand the significance of this gun." - Kimber's Aaron Cummins Should be 6lbs even...

I handled a current 25-06 Montana, and it felt terrible in the hands.. But I was told to wait, as they were going to fix that abomination of a LA stock..

I simply want to punch it AI. Can't think of anything more sexy right now than a 25-06AI in a nice lightweight factory package..

Well, I guess the cat is officially out of the bag now. The 84L has been in the works for three years... I'd been sworn to secrecy on the deal

I went to buy a kimber in 30-06 once upon a time and hated the long action 8400, wound up with a 300WSM which is in my opinion a good rifle. As I now have .257 Roberts kimber, I am almost certain that I will sell my Weatherby markV 270 winchester and get one of these in the montana style in 270 winchester.

Great to see the 84L is not loose talk but reality in 6 months or so. Now if they clean up their QC issues, it will have a strong following. Good for them for "listening".
