    Gimme the Story on Kimber Rifles

    I have a kimber 84L 30-06 bought used last year from a man that bought it new. It's a great gun to carry, and shoots around 1 to 1.25 MOA. It is tricky to shoot and there was a bit of a learning curve on shooting it correctly. I had a kimber hunter in 30-06 before that , couldn't get it...

    Just spot and stalk, no bait. Backpack hunt looking at early to mid may. Flying in and renting a 4wd on turo. A Saturday to Saturday hunt and head home.
