So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.
You saved my back, I'll let you pack that beast! 🤪 -

Lol, I gave mine away, it was 0.1 oz, so I HAD to do it... -

Seems like a good time to request that someone designs a plastic magazine. There's a solid 1.5 oz weight loss potential, and the factory mags aren't nearly as slick, which requires sanding and polishing on some. Even though mine didn't jam, they scraped the heck out of the brass before I... -
Pack Rifle Conversion (PRK) of Cricket .22 Rifle
They've got these kits back in production, but you have to email them. Just passing this along as I appreciate their product! Hoping they will build some more 22 mag kits too. -

Not sure, I'm still confused. But, I guess this is less crazy than me spending 6-8 hours skeletonizing the mag! -

I'm interested as well, cost dependent. Just to clarify, you're making them for the hunter or the Ascent, or both? I know the Ascent screws are significantly longer, or at least one of them is. -

Does anyone know how much weight the member that posted pics of ti screws on a scale actually saved? I looked at that post more than once and never came away with a solid understanding of how much he shaved off. Probably because I didn't know what I was looking at in the pic... -

Pretty sure LRI (or Kampfeld) can knock off more weight with their spiral flutes than the Ascent has. My 22 creed ascent/hunter/swiss cheese still easily shoots sub MOA and I don't think you can beat the looks, and grippyness of the spiral flutes. Here's the pic again for reference. -

I've never noticed a lack of smoothness in my ascent or Kampfeld fluted bolts, but I guess my tikka is more smooth. Hasn't ever caused me an issue, even when gritty with fresh cerakote. Kampfeld does an awesome job on full rifle cerakote I've gotta add! -

Yeah, I remember now. Heading down the ridge in the evening and I'd have the blue grouse opportunities, but I'd have to potentially spoil the hunt digging in my pack for my sunnies. I took one grouse with it, and then just decided the repeater (sr22) could do double duty better. If a hungry... -

Nice, I was disappointed with the ease of corrosion on the hammer also. But, I guess some cerakote would mostly solve that. Mine would rust quickly in field conditions, Needed oiled every few days. That was moist pocket conditions, if they hadn't spit lead, I would have sent it to Karl for... -

More cheese: This was a lot of work for .4 oz, and I'm lucky I didn't ruin the mag. Not recommended. I could have shaved .1 more pretty easily but I was tired of messing with it. The steel insert is ridiculously tough for this application. Not sure what they were thinking... Forgot to add... -

I had 2 of those, they both spit lead right next to my eye every shot! Sold em both and use my sr22 longslide instead. I can't be worrying about eye protection when I'm plinking a grouse occasionally in the backcountry... -

Oh, I forgot to mention those weights are for an 18" barrel. And to your ascent bolt question, I asked kimber about a year ago. Nope, not a chance. Now, if you sent them an ascent without the bolt because you 'lost' it, then it looks like they'd cooperate. But, the good news is that...
