cheers
rees
I have a new set of talley rings to fit the 84M action !
Talley 1" rings for Kimber 84M Medium Height Black | Trade Me
:)
Great idea from kimber to bring the cost down a bit. Bet in the us they are competing with the T3.
Are they going to do a long action?
Bringing cost down... It is a bit like a Ferrari with steel wheels instead of mag wheels.
Here are two 3 shot groups from my as new kimber Montana 7mm08
Attachment 50196
Top group factory 140grn norma , bottom group , 140grn handload ,steinlager classic target .
They shoot all good.
Note just noticed the bloody pic is at 9 o clock instead of 12!
It seems a bit too "ruger American/savage axis" to me for a rifle that cost what it doesQuote:

The Kimber seems to do premium ammo and handloads like my Howa does Anerican Eagle (loose group) and Corelokt (left hand tight group). I don't think the exchange rate does the yanks any favours.

Try running up a hill with a Howa, and you will see why I have a kimber.

This shows us tight groups. We have now hijacked the thread to skite :thumbsup:Quote:

I had a look at one today in HF manawatu. It didnt have the bolt or mag in it so I couldnt judge on those points. I liked the kimber because of its weight, short action and size. However, i suppress my rifles and the barrel is so thin I wouldnt want to. Fit and finish is ok, nothing to write home about. The new Tikka t3x was sitting next to it and despite the long action and added weight, the larger barrel and proven reliability and $300 less would have me buy a tikka still.
