I was wondering if anyone has one of these yet? I was thinking of buying one for my first target rifle. I also was planning on mounting a Mark4 or a Knightforce sope on it. If anyone has some imput on the gun/scope let me know. Will this be a good rifle to learn long range shooting with? I found it to be a bit on the expensive side at $2500.00.

I do not think that rifle can be exported due to its SNIPER RIFLE classification.
I was not aware of that. I will look into it. Thanks

Cabela's in Winnipeg has one on display for around the $2500 ish. I did handle it and it was very nice...

That's good news then, I remember this same topic a few months back and a few of the dealers here said they were not allowed to be exported due to the police sniper designation.
Thank you.
Gold Cup 45,
Tough call. It's a Kimber so it's got some status as a high end rifle. The reviews were favourable, however it has a fixed magazine. The accuracy looked to be excellent (.5 moa guarantee), however you can get that with other rifles for a lot less money if you're lucky or if you're willing to have them modified.
You can do better for a lot less if shooting is what you're after. If you collect and shoot a little, then it's worth a look.
Other options are the Savage and Remingtons. I like the 5R milspec which can be found for $1000. But you can also build one up as others have pointed out and get an exceptional shooter. All at a lot less than the cost of the Kimber. There's also the custom route which will get close to the cost of the Kimber but includes things like a detachable magazine. But then again if you're into collecting it's not a kimber
I'm actually starting to get interested in this rifle.

I may have to settle for the Savage 10 FCP for now. Money is a bit of an issue at this time.
I saw both the Mcmillan and HS version at a local gun store. They looked pretty good. While I liked the looks of the HS one better, the Mcmillan stock was very comfortable. There's nothing wrong with those rifles and this is coming from a guy who isn't generally a Savage fan. Plus a lot of people have had very good accuracy with them. Good value, and a good rifle.
You can always get the Kimber later if you decide you still want it.
Oh one other thing. Money will always be a bit of an issue
The more money you make, the more you spend.
