    Lightbulb Small Handful of Kimber 84M Mountain Ascents Has Landed!

    Weighing in at an INSANE 4lbs, 13oz for this 22" ported short action, the Kimber 84M Mountain Ascent is perfect for lightweight hunters whether they're climbing rocks after goats or just looking to shed some pounds in meadows or the tree stand. Always in demand, we usually do not keep these around too long no matter what caliber they come in -- this time it's the perennial classic .308 Winchester! Just about everyone can agree that a .308 Winchester makes a fine round for lots of North American hunting disciplines and the immense selection of loads on store shelves means you can usually find the right pill for the task regardless of what you're going after.

    Any info on how these shoot? How accurate are they? Can you only fire a couple of rounds before they start to drift? Looks like a nice gun.

    Plenty of reviews out there for these from many trusted sources. Looks like everyone suggests picking up a few loads to determine which yours likes best, as with its favored ammo it is a sub-MOA rifle all day.

    I've seen several reviews that specifically name the Barnes TTSX 150gr medium-weight pills as an absolutely exceptional load shooting 0.8MOA at 100 and 1MOA at 200 without any problems, and great results from the Nosler 165s as well. I've seen one that says Nosler Partitions are about 1.2MOA loads at 100 and 1.5MOA loads at 200. I've seen the Hornady Superformance loads noted for poorer performance, shooting 3" between 100 and 200.

    Everyone seems to be firing 5 shot groups for their marks, with at least one review firing 125 rounds over a single afternoon to get their averages.

    With the weight of that it would be great for hunting. Long walks and or rugged country is the where this would shine.
