I have no idea how you read, just look at what the notice points out.So IBI or Cadex is "a factory" but a gunsmith cutting a blank from IBI or Cadex is not a factory barrel? Do I read that right?
Yea Kimber being gone from Canada for years ! Korth was the distributor BUT who knows why ? Iāve owned 5 Kimber Hunter rifles and Unfortunately I sold them all .Does Kimber ship to Canada? I didn't realize they've stopped shipping to Canada. Their website says they won't ship out of the US. Maybe I should keep mine? Beautiful, accurate and light.
To bad, they're excellent firearms for the mid range price.
Yes not from Korth someone else ,I see them at Reliabledo we still have access to Kimber products in Canada? I thought they stopped exporting to us a while back..... perhaps I'm mistaken
I need someone to talk me out of making a bad financial decision.
So I'm currently obsessed with building an ultralight bolt action brush rifle. I'm thinking 5 lbs and a 12" - 14" barrel. I'm debating whether to buy a Howa Superlite and cut, crown and thread the barrel... Or build something with the following components list.
Component Name Min Weight (oz) Max Weight (oz) Price Action Terminus Apollo Lite TI 20.00 20.00 $1,825.00Barrel IBI carbon prefit 14" 36.0? 40.0? $1,350.00Barrel Nut IBI barrel nut 2.65 2.65 $55.00Stock Wildcat Composite 16.50 21.00 $450.00Rings Warne Hyperlite 2.33 2.33 $160.00Scope Leuopld VX Freedom 1.5-4x 9.60 9.60 Already OwnBrake PVA Ultralight Jet Blast 1.37 1.37 $170.00Bottom Metal Hawkins Precision Hunter DBM 2.80 2.80 $325.00Magazine MDT Polymer 3 round / 10 round 1.38 4.80 Already OwnTrigger Triggertech Special 2-stage 1.5? 1.5? $360.00TOTAL 5.88 lbs 6.63 lbs $4,695.00
Meanwhile, a Howa Superlite with a 16" barrel would weigh 4.3 lbs (68.8 oz), obviating the need to buy the stock, action, barrel, barrel nut, bottom metal and magazine. All in with optic, rings and brake it would come to 5.12 lbs. So it's even lighter too, and that could be reduced even further by cutting the barrel to 12" with a crown and threading by a gunsmith. EDIT: Yeah, realized that's illegal. Nevermind.
All in the cost would be about $1800, so less than half the price.
What would the Howa be giving up?
Howa has a 90° bolt throw instead of 60° that the Terminus Apollo Lite TI has...
The Howa would only take the proprietary 3 round mag, no option for a 10 round.
The Howa trigger would be far inferior to the Triggertech trigger
The Howa isn't available in all the custom calibres (was thinking .338 Federal)
So - convince me not to blow my money on a custom rifle.
Gravel Agency has 23 models on their site. Not sure how many they have in stock.Does Kimber ship to Canada? I didn't realize they've stopped shipping to Canada. Their website says they won't ship out of the US. Maybe I should keep mine? Beautiful, accurate and light.

Screaming deal here on a 308 if this interests you, and theyre a site sponsor...
Glad to hear. North Pro is awesome to deal with. Ive spent a lot of money there over the years online and in person.That's it. Just bought it.
Thanks all. I may rebarrel it to a 14" .338 Federal eventually but that price was way to good to pass up
man, that is such a good deal. I just got a Weatherby vanguard high country for my mountain hunting, if i had seen this deal i would have got it in a heartbeat.https://northprosports.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=1515&product_id=22854

Crazy,I paid 1300,mine is a shooter though.man, that is such a good deal. I just got a Weatherby vanguard high country for my mountain hunting, if i had seen this deal i would have got it in a heartbeat.
I don't know why there isn't more love for the Howa's, they're a Weatherby Vanguard. Same factory, same action, different name on the side. I've never had a Vanguard not shoot sub MOA or better. Once you break the actions in they're slick as silk, and they have pretty decent triggers in them from the factory. Personally I think they're a better bang for your buck then an Axis, or even the new Savage 11/111's honestly.Crazy,I paid 1300,mine is a shooter though.
They built for many others,the original Vanguard's were qc'd for weatheby.I don't know why there isn't more love for the Howa's, they're a Weatherby Vanguard.
