Thread: Kimber Adirondack review .308

Ok then just an Idea

Interesting how things wander when a calibre is mentioned, if it kills your intended game humanly and is used within a realistic range for that calibre then who gives a fuck, the whole mine is better than yours argument is void when any of them will put meat on the table in competent hands.

Back on the topic of your rifle.....I was quite surprised with the accuracy that you got with it. I say that as a mate of mine brought a new one in .280 AI and it has never really shot that well. I have heard that the Kimbers can be a bit hit and miss at times.

Truth be told I was a little surprised myself, I have not had the chance to shoot again since then so am keen to get to a range, living on Waiheke Island it's not such an easy task finding a place to shoot for practice, never had that problem living in the Wairarapa Im about to get rid of my leupold rings for a set of nightforce light weight ones so will need to re zero... If my rifle shot poorly I'd just get it re barrelled or send it back ! Over all I am super happy with it so far.

And at 2600+ I'm glad it shoots well !!!

The Agents have half a dozen 6.5 Creedmoor Adirondacks ordered, some are already pre-sold.

They aren't made yet & "might" be here before Christmas, yes this one, maybe

Actually I got the weight wrong it's 2.183 kg unloaded, I got confused converting ounces to kgs so .3 of a kg more roughly.... Over all ish.

You have had this rifle a little while now, have you taken it into the field yet? If so how did it go?

would find the stock a bit hard on the eyes,,crossed eyes

Heading in for a 5 day mid winter solo hunt in a few weeks, I'll post my finding then, also a real world review on the javelin bipod which I'm not so sure about at the mo....

Just been reading all the posts on this thread. I see @Nga has not updated so... I am expecting an Adirondack to arrive in a couple of days. Give me a few weeks to sort my shite out and I will comment on my thoughts on 6.5 Creedmoor accuracy. I'm not a shooter by any means (get the wobbly boot) when shooting off hand but achieved a 5 x group x10mm @ 100m with a Titan 6 in 308 yesterday usng 150GR Core-Lokt off a bi-pod, so bloody happy. It's reasonably light and the only way I could tighten it up was applying light downward pressure on the scope

Sold the rifle a while ago and now have a T3X lite with 15" barrel and suppressed in 308, I treat my rifles pretty rough in the bush and decided i did not want to risk wrecking the finish, resale value etc....

The stock finish is the weakest feature on those specialty Kimbers, lasts about as long as toilet paper in a good rain...
