Kimber Mountain Ascent

[bearkilr]

Grey Kim-Pro II finish, fluted barrel/bolt, fluted and hollowed handle,aluminum trigger guard, threaded brake and Opti-Fade Open Country Camo stock(read:Sitka). Comes in 308,270,280AI and 30-06.

Personally, the camo stock leaves me uninterested. Supposedly 13 oz lighter than the 84L. Nicer would have been stainless fluted with Montana stock in perhaps a different solid color.

Maybe a 280 AI and paint the stock.

I believe that is probably not going to be made fast enough to make the market happy. The should make the first two runs in 7mm-08 and .280 AI to keep the public happy.

I like it. But will it shoot......

I am not a Kimber fan at all, but if those numbers are right it will be tough to beat - factory or custom.

No 7-08 listed....yet.

Of course it'll shoot, I hear Kimber is gonna have a 1/2 MOA guarantee with included test target, 3 shot group fired in basement of their NYC shop at the 25 yard range...........just like Cooper.

Except Kimber is doing less weight with a "non-gritty" action, all in CRF.

I'm not sayin' the Rem is better, just missing the boat.

I agree with you SuperCub - if they went with a lighter stock they would do better still.

I am still in shock seeing the words accurate and Kimber in the same sentence. Of the 6 Kimbers I had in hand only seen one performed well shooting under an inch. The rest were anywhere from 2" to Minute of Barn.

####, that gun would match my hunting suit. Must have

Well there go's my no new rifles in 2012 resolution.... now to get 1 across the medicine line.

 

[Dang]

Just what i've looking for.I wonder how that muzzlebreak would tame a 30-06?Would prefer the 7mm-08 without the break .

A fluted, cerakoted, optifade Montana...how can you not love such a creature?

 

[Ardent]

Too bad about the brake but at least it's threaded on so a guy can get rid of it and put a thread protector on instead. Neat rifle, overall, Kimber's listening to the marketplace, a factory rifle with the appearance of a full-custom mountain rifle. Guys are paying $5,000+ for a rifle of the same specs.

Browning makes a nice light Titanium A-Bolt. Not much heavier.
