Kimber no longer imported.

His prices are on page 1, I think that's what I paid plus shipping (50 USD. for the plan bolt knob). I had to pay with ###### so there were some associated fees as well.

I tried to send an email but it says address not recognized.
 
Good riddance. I’ve tried to like these guns from the varmint rifles to the 84 series. The most tolerable one is the 8400. Dainty little things with that horrendously curved trigger shoe. Overpriced and under accurate.
 
I must be very lucky then, as I have owned 5 kimbers and all have shot under one inch three shot groups at 100 meters. 5/8 to 7/8 of an inch is good enough for me.
As far as being over priced, yeah they are expensive, but to customize any normal bolt action rifle to make it that light would likely cost you more than buying a kimber in the first place.

Right on. I’m not paying for shaving a few lbs off a gun. Light guns aren’t an advantage to me. But it is often the number one attribute that sells a rifle. Silly imo.

All 5 of mine are very accurate too, maybe Buckmastr just needs to learn how to shoot. :)
 
All the newer Montanas since about 2017 have the aluminum trigger guard. The mountain ascent stock finish also weighs about an oz more than the grey/green paint on a Montana.

And threaded too…but I always get them cut and crowned.
 
Interesting the last few posts about accuracy on Kimbers. Especially since I’ve inquired on a few on the EE recently. I guess they can have their QC issues like any other manufacturer. I also learned there’s surprisingly little support for them in the aftermarket stock market as well.. My days of wanting a MA seem to have passed especially given their rise in prices if you can get one.

Not sure why you’d want to replace a 24oz carbon fibre stock in the first place….
 
The hunter was a good deal. Remove the goo and you have a pretty capable rifle with a simple but functional steel lipped magazine that weighs as much as a Montana. I think it was the same or very similar in price to a stainless Tikka.

All a matter of if you can handle the moulded in trigger guard I guess

Only Kimber I’ve ever owned and I passed it in quickly but they are cool guns.

If someone came up with an aftermarket stock/trigger guard that would be cool, but I think the molded in magwell and trigger guard are saving a lot of weight
