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.
