customized Kimber rifles
That 8400 action sure must add some weight. I ended up 1 lb lighter with a nomad ti plus ebrake, plus cover on a mountain ascent 280 AI. 20.5”. Waiting on a scythe TI that should get me a couple ounces under 7lb and an inch or more shorter. Swaro z5i 3.5-18, Talley lightweight rings. -

WTB Kimber Talkeetna
Actually, no I haven’t. Still on the lookout but more serious at this point. I’d about forgotten about this post. I will even consider a caprivi at this point or also a Montana 84L. Thank you to anyone who can help out.- 280rem

customized Kimber rifles
Hmmm, Barnes load data shows that at a maximum of 2792 fps and that’s with a 24”. That’s 150 fps more and 5” less barrel. Please share the secret, or what I’m missing. It also states 1:8 twist but at 5000’ you’re probably in pretty good shape with 1:9. -

How are you getting 2950 with a 19” barrel? That’s a long bullet, the kimber action doesn’t give you any room to seat that out any. What elevation are you at? You’re kinda pushing it to be stable with that bullet, I would think. -
Alaska Gear Company Nunatak Apex
I have this tent. It’s a nice roomy tent for 2, it would honestly be rough for 3. You would need a separate shelter for your gear. It’s definitely a huge step up from the standard teepee tents, it has more head room and 100x better liner and you won’t deal with condensation on the level of... -
1/2x28 Threaded 30 Cal Rifles - Suppressor Horror Stories
Older thread, but now I can chime in. My kimber MA 280 AI was recently cut to 20.5”. I ended up with 1/2x28 threads. The machinist built me a thread adapter, which I don’t care for. The adapter adds about 5/8” and I am trying to shorten everything. Anyway, I ordered the 1/2x28 hub for my nomad... -
280 AI Barrel Length for Suppressor
I did a barrel break in and shot the first 8 shots or so without the suppressor. It was loud and hard a sharp jump. So keep in mind, unsuppressed it will not be nearly as enjoyable to shoot an 18”. With nomad Ti it sounds like a 22 mag or just a smidge louder, recoil like a 243 ish. With the... -
280 AI Barrel Length for Suppressor
Just getting my setup going. I had a kimber mountain ascent cut from 24 to 20.5”. I never shot the gun before cutting (some things you don’t want to know). My wife has identical gun with original barrel. With the factory Barnes 152 Lrx loads, wife’s gun was getting 3056 fps mine was getting... -
2024 Alaskan Drop Camp Caribou
Well I was very diligent and fortunate on my first hunts, I’ve been in planes with some of Alaskas finest pilots. I would say my entire outlook would have been different if I had been burned by a dishonest guy selling expensive camping trips and unsafe pilots. There is plenty of info available... -

DIY Moose hunt, Pilot needed
Boy, you, everybody and their brother AND ther dog. You just stated all the realities of hunting in Alaska. Some of my hunts, the more “remote” (more expensive) I went the more people. Some times closer and less expensive is less people. In all seriousness though, there does exist what you are... -

Books to read while hunting
Alaska’s wolf man frank glasser like others have said is a must have for this list. Above the Arctic circle, would be another good one I hadn’t seen mentioned. Hoping you have great weather and little time for books. -
Flying meat home?
Did you include the antlers in the air cargo shipment? Were the antlers by weight or was there any dimensional charges involved with them? Wife and I were successful, just got out of the field today, so will be going forward with this route. I, like you, have a business so know shipper number...
