Thread: Advice for new 223

So have my new Kimber. Really happy with it. Its great to carry and shoot. Fits me fine even though I have long limbs. Weighs 2.96 kg with bolt in and suppressor on. The safety works well for me this was something I was worried about as it was one thing I didn't like on the cz 527, and the Kimber is a little different to what im used to being on the bolt. It does make a click if you push the safety to fire position without using two fingers but as its mainly a goat gun it isn't going to be an issue. Blind mag is great so easy to load and unload just pull the bolt back and push bullet back down into mag well, no dropping mag to replace bullet. Have carried the rifle for two days so far and just shot a couple goats, so haven't been in a situation yet of using the whole mag and needing to reload quickly might miss my magazines then but its effortless to feed new rounds in so just need an efficient way of accessing the reloads, just carrying spares loose in a pouch at the moment. There's a couple things about the bolt that look like after thousands of cycles might begin to wear but we shall see. Shes going to look second hand pretty quick but i bought it to use it so don't mind. Thanks for everyone's input. Happy hunting
