Thread: Kimber Hunter 308

I was lucky enough to see the first Kimber Hunter rifles to arrive in the country this afternoon.



The stock seems to be very stiff for a plastic one.



The colour is a little different but easy to get used too



It has a detachable magazine



It is essentially a Montana with a detachable magazine in a cheaper & about 100 grams heavier stock.



This one weighs 2.450 kgs, 5.64 lbs, the calibres available are, 243, Jaffa & 308 for a RRP of around $1900

A very nice rifle for the price, they even come with a MOA guarantee

Id take it hunting, if I miss out on some meat I might score some honey on the way out.

The colour is not grabbing me.

For a little more I'd much prefer the Montana.

They have gone from boring grey to boring tan. They should offer any colour option as long as it is black:-)

I like your definition of a little

deer don't care what color it is should really be in a orange stock with a black barrel if it come as a "jaffa" model

How many does the mag hold? any feature on it to stop it detaching accidentialy?

Lol Jaffa! Wait shit I've got one in Jaffa ��

3 in the single stack magazine & the release is pretty recessed, can't see it being that easy to accidentally release ?

My one is going to be boring black before long, as the grey is wearing/getting chipped off. Cool rifle though.

The Hunter with its solid plastic stock won't have that problem.

Me likey

Interesting about the weight. They are advertised as being 6.5lb. Thats quite a bit heavier than the one you weighed Greg.
I also see that they are made in .257R and 6.5 creedmore. I wonder if we will see those here?

The Internet weight is wrong for some reason or another, its good like that from time to time.....

I guess we will get the Creedmoor here in the next shipment maybe ?

This shipment is basically all sold IIRC.
