Where are the kimbers?

[boxhitch]

Midway USA is showing a Kimber 6.5 CM available, price looks reasonable
guessing it is recent stock as the 6.5 CM was not offered years ago

I do wonder, are most guys searching the wtb forum before posting? I've had some good trades (one where I traded a kimber even lol) and quick sales by doing this

imo most don't, not even dealers
WTB comes up with the WTS when doing a search for something particular, likely the 'most seen' option

Well I missed one that was up for an hour or so. It may be the "well priced Leupold" effect

I have bought, sold and played with quite a few Kimber’s over the years. 8400’s, 84L’s and 84m’s. Still have three right now.

Break out your cheque book, LOL! Kidding, they will be here until the end…

Well, maybe I’ll give the .223 away for a song… Hahaha, I’m kidding. Never.

My Montana 223 is my most reached for and last to sell by a wide margin

There's a kimber hunter 84l on the EE right now.

 

[conor_90]

It sold before my offer went through

 

[pete dobinson]

Out of interest, what are you building and what cartridge?

 

[conor_90]

Well now I have returned to my original plan of Kimberizing a stainless Mauser 8x57 instead of my plan to mauserize a kimber . Just bought a stainless zastava 7x64, have a wildcat, Douglas no 2 contour 8mm 323 barrel from Bob jury on the way. Life is good

 

[boxhitch]

getting the action re profiled? to something common for good stock selection?

 

[conor_90]

No they're still making stocks for the Mauser 98 lol

 

[crazy_davey]

So what you're saying is, I need to get into the will somehow and be patient?

Haha, you’ll have to get in line. If and when I go, there are a few members here already written in ahead of you. Ones a lefty though so he would probably sell them cheap and buy more Tikka’s.

After thinking about that last sentence, I might have to make some changes to my will…

 

[pete dobinson]

Sounds like a cool build, interested to see how it turns out.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Turning a 7x64 to an 8x57, glad I’m not the only loon in the pond.
Installing open sights? Keep us updated.

I know where there's a NIB 8400 Classic Select in 300 WSM for sale. PM me for the link, is a dealer not on the site, who I am not affiliated with, seems to be asking $1875 w taxes.

Seeing as he’s looking or a stainless long action with a standard bolt face, I don’t think he will be hot to trot on for a blued short mag

you're right as to what he's looking for , but personally
I would take a blued barrel over a stainless all day long ,
they're just too noticeable ,

I'm sure your correct, however my post was not directed at the OP exclusively; apparently there is a shortage of Kimber's in Canada, if I can help direct anyone to something nice, I shall try and do so.

Seems like only yesterday that I got a new Kimber Select in 300 WSM for a 1000 bucks. One of my favourite rifles for wandering around and shooting stuff.

 

[conor_90]

I remember, because I would think things like " I will never be able to afford a kimber, they cost like 1000 bucks!"
