    Does the stock fit you?

    I find the kimbers great to shoot in the bush, but hard to get behind when shooting prone.

    So, my 2c if you are bush hunting they are perfect.
    If you sit and wait and watch clearings at 200m+ then get something else.

    That's exactly what I do. River beds and clearings in south Canterbury.

    I have had two kimber 84M - both in .308. Both of them were boringly accurate (if your into load development) and quite unfussy what they were fed. Sold the first one to pay for another rifle on a whim then realised my mistake quick smart and tracked down another.
