    Bought a new Kimber Hunter in 257Roberts for a bargain. The caliber has always fascinated me.

    Randomly loaded up some 110 ELDX with 47 grns R19. SAAMI spec length. Velocity should be circa 2900.

    Raining. Laying on the ground shooting over a lump of fire wood with a coat over it. A few shots getting on the target. Pic shows last 2 shots. All of the sight in shots would have gone into the same 1" group. Not too shabby without much forethought or load development. Just a little 3-12 'scope. Neat little set up. Heaps of potential.

    I thought there was no such thing as a rear-attaching thermal because they don't work through glass?

    Little 3-9x36 Diavari on my Kimber (thanks @chainsaw ) was going to run it on my Forbes but couldn't resist trying it out on the Kimber and I like it, handles and points beautifully. Could possibly mount a smidge lower with some Talleys.

    Got a German made one (3-9 x 36)with the *T coating. Very nice optics. However to zero it the movements are reverse to other scopes!
