    Some nice looking rigs. Not too much bling.
    Out of interest I weighed mine and was shocked. 3.4kg. I thought it was lighter than that. I guess a vx6 and extra baffles all adds up. If anyone wants to sell their kimber hunter let me know. Can find them anywhere anymore

    Ive got a Kimber Hunter in 257R and with a Zeiss HD5 3-15 on it its not as light as I thought either at 3.4kg (without suppressor or bipod).

    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Give ballengers h&f chch a call. They got in a few kimber hunter pros in .308 I bought one and I think there's still one left. They may have got in a 280ai also.
