I was over on 24CF earlier and one of the guys posted up his new Kimber rifle from the Troy, AL factory and I was wondering if any of the ALDeer brethren had one yet? I’m jonesing for a .280AI and I don’t know why. Sure is nice to see our state represented by a major firearms manufacturer. That AL rollmark sure does look good on that stainless barrel!

I like to see that. I think I'll have to get one.

Are they making all their rifles here or just a select few models? Anyone know? I honestly didn't even realize they had a plant up and running yet.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

Same thing I was wondering! The rifle that guy posted up (Stainless Classic) isn’t even listed on the Kimber website.

Might be some sort of special distributor exclusive or something similar to that.

A wood stainless rifle is about as sharp as they come. I'd love to have one in either 25-06 or 280.

Kimber??? No Lemons???? Seriously!! Kimber is the recent victim of corporate America greed!! When they were smaller, they put out a great product, one of the best! Now it’s all about mass production. I have heard real bad stories from both consumers and dealers about them not backing the quality of there product. Sorry to piss on your parade, but unless they have changed in the past 8 months, they need to be spending more time focusing on the quality of their product!!!


Hunting brings out the worst in people.

The stainless wood is on their website, but is only offered in 6.5cm: Mash here

According to my dealers Kimber rep, most of the rifles are now coming with the Troy roll mark.

That must have been added in the past few days. It was just the Classic Select and Super America under the Traditional tab. Dang shame it’s only available in 6.5Gheymore. grin

Thanks for the update from the dealers rep. The 2 gun shops I called didn’t even know Kimber had a plant in AL.

I would love to see a "live graph" of 6.5 caliber sales over the past 25 years.

6.5X55 probably hummed along selling 1 per day, oh hey a new 6.5 caliber 260 Remington that could have been awesome but Remington screwed the pooch selling 5 per day, outcomes Hornady eating everyone's breakfast, lunch and dinner selling like hotcakes.
How do you know the 260 is more or less dead in the water, when Remington is producing rifles in their competitor's caliber.

Would also be interesting to see a graph of 7MM08 sales from the time the 6.5Creed came out to today. I can only assume they've absolutely tanked.

Until the 6.5 Gheymoor, the ONLY wildly successful metric nomenclature cartridge in the US was the 7mm Remington magnum. All other prodded along with little to no success, and 6.5 mm cartridges only enjoyed a small cult-like following despite their long success in Europe. The 6.5 craze is just another example of rebranding something in a shiny new package and capturing a changing market base.
