The stocks on their website look different: https://www.kimberamerica.com/rifles/rifle-family

They don't have the Montana or Adirondack listed on their website.

there have been some quality precision arms enter the market while Kimber was on sabbatical
don't know that they will catch up again or not

Looks like a desperate attempt to fit into the long range rifle trend. They are almost perfect the way they were. Hard pass.

I was told they would have a $6000 cdn price tag with the tarrifs in place !

one example is Seekins Precision,
ultralight Element @ 5 1/2 lbs is a bit pricey near $3000US
A 8 lb Hunter rifle be the PH3 under $2000US , pretty sweet
landed CDN price is ........who knows

even our Cdn Antler Arms has a 6 lb option for ~$4kcdn, reviews are ......?

I think it's an attempt to appeal to the crowd who travel thousands of miles to hunt elk in full kuiu and put 3lb scopes on 4.5lb rifles, or use their weight savings to bring along monopods. Think they have a forum where they worship the 223 and tikka t3?

This may be a case of not knowing their target audience.

There is a stock similar to the models with bag riders available after market, it has a bubble level embedded in the tang. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
