What happened to the Kifaru Rambling rifle?

[Duncan Idaho]

The Rambling Rifle was an interesting little package. I was in contact with Kifaru a couple years back and the info I was given was that this lightweight would be back in production within a few months. Never saw or heard anything about it since. I dropped a few more email requests for info but have not received any kind of response from Kifaru in the past 2 years.

Anyone?

I did a little research on them last year...I can't remember the name of the gunsmith making them...but it wasn't Kifaru itself...it was contraced out to a speacialized shop. Try going on the Kifaru Fourms and asking Partick himself.

Only ever seen one, a switch barrel in 22-250, 308, and 358 if memory serves. Very interesting concept. Kind of ugly, but still a very cool idea. - dan

Rambled off into the sunset. They always kinda intrigued me.

I myself got a Model Seven Custom KS 350RM to fill that ramblin job. At 5 3/4 lbs with sights it's as close to the ramblin rifle ideal as I will likely come. Here's an old pic of the real deal.

Lol, I admire the practicality, but sweet jesus that's one ugly gun. I'd still own one, but I'd wince every time I pulled it out. - dan

Looks like the sapsuckers have been after it. I have a birch tree out here that's about as bad.

Why go to all that effort to lighten up the gun, then add a scope when irons could have sufficed?

why go thru all the trouble, and keep the wood stock, and add a fluted barrel?

Pic looks like a model 600 to me. I may be wrong though.
