Thread: Kimber 84 chassis- expressions of interest.

The 300 wsm kimber is a different kind of beast and has a beefier receiver.

Cheeky fouder mechanisms fitted up.
Will make for a nice pack fitting rig.

Forgot to reply to this. I think it's deceptive, the trigger guard area is just longer than normal. My 5'2" wife finds the trigger fine. I can easily reach well past it.

And like the Elude they don't come with a pistol grip. Think I missed saying that

If you can make them to suit a hunters drop out mag ill grab one

I'd need one to see if it can be modified with out permanent "damage". Eg. Still could use in the original configuration

Spare Hunter mags are still available from the importer (NZ Asia)

I got one for my 280AI $179.00

Do you want a magazine to use? I could send you mine i have a few rifles I'm using instead currently. I could send you a hunter stock as well. The factory mag being centre feed is pretty forgiving in terms of placement and Honestly I think it wouldn't be very difficult make fit in the chassis. In factory form it mounts straight to the stock anyway. Also it doesn't top load so would be way more suitable for being removable.

Could you make this to fit Bergara (remington700) with standard AICS mag? I'd be keen for 1. Can send you a mag for testing.

Nope sorry. The kimber is a smaller action diameter wise, so it wouldn't fit

bugger! can't you make it a bit wider?
I'm looking for a lighter stock for my bergara hmr. they are either too heavy or bloody expensive. This one would be great.
Let me know if you ever decide to modify it to fit remington action. I'm already considering to print one from carbon reinforced pla.

where is the buttstock from?

Whole thing is made by me...

Nice! Would you sell a buttstock only if I manage to print the chassis? Do you still make chassis for howa mini?

I recommend buying the whole thing, which at Rob's current pricing will be a bargain. The new-release stock for the Kimber 84M is stunning in appearance, finish, and performance.

Here's the thing: if a rifle doesn't shoot it could be caused by one or more of any number of things and the potentially lengthy task of finding what combination of failings are the cause begins. The cost of tracking down such faults can easily end up being more than initially paid for the rifle.

Conversely when a rifle just plain shoots from the outset you know that all the stars have aligned and everything is as it should be. This includes all the necessary contributions from the stock, among these having the necessary contact points that interface with the action present in the right places and sized appropriately, and with none of the unwanted ones present — of which there could be any number. Based on what I'm seeing with the 6.5CM here, the 84M Elude has these right and is a great platform for the Kimber. I haven't even touched on the excellent ergonomics.

I'm thinking about it, unfortunately I have 3 howas and a Bergara....
