[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 2785290, member: 104786"] I was really just looking into it because I bought my Kimber 84L in 30-06 because the opportunity presented itself and I alway had wanted a Kimber but was unable to justify an somewhat expensive rifle until my situation changed and it was a possibility. I wanted a 260 but have never seen one in person. I was just looking for a replacement if I sold the 30-06 and couldn’t find a wood stock Kimber short action anywhere. I still like the way it looks and the way the actions feels “machine-like”, I just wanted a little more friendly cartridge at the range since it’s mostly just shooting s-medium sized southern whitetail. Wanna trade anyone?! The Kimber Hunter line in my opinion is taking a rifle I like and putting it in a *** stock. They feel CHEAP to me. Same when I bought my Montana Rifle Company X2 in 7RM I wanted an MRC and it presented itself but again I wanted a non-magnum short action. A absolutely great gun for the money but I didn’t want a 7RM or I wouldn’t have sold it. So I have a bad habit or misfortune of find the gun I want in a chambering I don’t and buying it because it was there to buy. I miss seeing Kimber or other things with nice Walnut or even Laminate on a shelf for the fact they look nice. I fell like all I see at store now are Ruger Americans and Savage Axis cheap things you would replace when they break. Nothing seems like pass it down quality like the guns I have from my dad. Stainless coated synthetic carbon whatever even if it is a 8K full custom etc etc still has the boredom of a table of Glocks at a gun show. Yeah they are all very useful hammers but they are still just hammers and that’s kinda boring. [/QUOTE]
