Alas that depends on the shooter
Alas that depends on the shooter
Kimbers are nice rifles - great balance, great triggers, great saftey & very light. ( I like the carbon stock & hate plastic so this doesn't float my boat ) also I hate the high bolt lift would have to be my biggest gripe & with the shit NZ dollar are bloody expensive now but I love my bush stumpy in "Jaffa" cal & no I didn't get sanitary pads with mine as I brought it 2nd hand bugger !!![]()
Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

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.
I haven't handled the kimber but I have handled the Ruger and the savage, they are a big step below tikka and howa in fit and finish and the factory plastic stocks sucks compared to a tikka or x bolt stock. Im betting the kimber is more at tikka level than ruger or savage.
Price wise it competes with the x bolt and A7 synthetics, but if gregs weights are correct is a pound lighter. If the fit and finish is good and they are as light as claimed, then I think its a good addition to the market
Here are two 3 shot groups from my as new kimber Montana 7mm08
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!
what do we think the chances are of projectiles hitting similar POIs... I have a load of 139gr hornadys and the same powder charge for the 140gr Woodleigh....
I really do hope the loads hit within close of each other... as above would be a dream haha.
Kimber montana 7mm 08 is what I'm using
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.
