Rifles

A classic rifle is an almost indescribable blend of form, fit and function wrapped around the twin realities of dependability and accuracy. It is worthy of game. Once carried, you will never settle for less. Kimber makes classic rifles.

Kimber rifles are lightweight, but heavy on performance. The Model 84M Montana .308 Win. weighs just 5 pounds, 2 ounces.

Kimber barrels are just that, made entirely in the Kimber factory. All barrels and chambers are machined to exacting match grade dimensions.

Few things matter more to a hunter or shooter than a truly fine rifle, especially during the handful of days each year spent doing what really matters. That point isn't lost on Kimber. No matter the caliber, Kimber rifles are designed, engineered and manufactured to make every shot count. They are built to last a lifetime and then to be passed on to a son or daughter so they can make their own memories.

From the beginning, Kimber was determined to build production rifles better than any other company and knew this could only happen if everything was done inside. A tremendous investment in a state-of-the-art computer driven manufacturing facility made it reality. Today, barrels are profiled and broached around the corner from where stocks are shaped and inletted. Assembly is completed just steps from the shooting tunnels where each rifle is tested. The only thing coming in through the gate is raw material, because there is no other way to ensure quality.

Beyond the mechanics of dependability and accuracy, a fine rifle takes on a sort of personality or life - some say a soul. That only happens when a company that understands and appreciates rifles shapes every part. A real brand is more than a logo pressed into steel or something at the top of a purchase order faxed half way around the world. Only riflemen can make proper rifles, and most of the good ones are here in America. Kimber is the best of the bunch. Any other brand is just something less.

Montana models are the finest lightweight, hard core hunting rifles available today.

Several generations ago, a gun writer scratched out a great truth about interest in rifles being best determined by the quality of the rimfire in a shooter's battery. He made a good point, and today Kimber crafts rimfire rifles for those who tend to agree with him. Full-size and full of performance, they are true American classics. Models for small game hunting, long range varmint shooting, demanding silhouette competition and just plain fun are offered.

The Kimber Model 84M™ is the lightest production hunting rifle available today. Even more impressive, there is no compromise in performance. Everything about them is based on an action designed for the .308 Win. cartridge family, but barrels are still full-length and classic stocks are sleek and full-size. Chambered in calibers from .223 Rem. to .308 Win., models suited for everything from walking varminting to mountain hunting are available.

In addition to all four WSM cartridges, the Model 8400™ rifle family now chambers America's most popular standards and magnums like .25-06 Rem., .270 Win., .30-06 Spfd., .300 Win. Mag. and .338 Win. Mag. in a new version with a longer action. Head-to-toe classics, Model 8400 rifles cover the range from stainless steel in lightweight Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass stocks to traditional polished blue steel mated with stunning AAA-grade claro walnut. With all the standard Kimber features plus the new calibers, a Model 8400 is the right rifle for any North American hunt.

Full-length one-piece Mauser claw extractors lock cartridges in position for flawless feeding and extraction under the toughest field conditions, unlike common push-feed or clip extractor designs.

Actions are pillar bedded for strength and accuracy. Twin aluminum pillars are bonded into every stock and support the receiver under guard screw tension and recoil. Match grade triggers set at 3.5-4 pounds break sharp and clean.

Kimber rifles have a positive, three-position wing safety. The rear position is on safe and locks the bolt, the middle is on safe but unlocks the bolt for loading and unloading, and the forward position permits firing.
