I'm lost as a last year's Easter egg on my own post

If anyone is interested here is the link

Mountain Ascent (Subalpine)

The Ultimate high country mountain rifle. Weight shaving standard features such as Carbon fiber reinforced stock, fluted barrel, spiral fluted bolt body & skeletonized bolt knob and extractor bring this lightweight champion in at a under 5 lbs. while still retaining Sub-MOA accuracy!

Damn good gun atta damn good price

So, just to be clear, the rifle you have is a Subalpine and not a Mountain Ascent, as already stated by other folks. The link you posted is of a Mountain Ascent that is in the Subalpine camo pattern. The rifles are identical in many ways, but the MA has the Skeletonized bolt knob/handle, spiral fluted bolt, and it also states on the barrel "Mountain Ascent". I also think that the Subalpine came only with the thread protector and the muzzle break had to be purchased separately. If I remember right, the first Subalpine's also had more of a bull barrel, but that might not be correct.

Definitely came with only a thread protector. I bought a factory muzzlebrake for it that is still in the bag. Talley rail, too.

Close but no. The sub alpine is a Montana with a Sitka subalpine stock. Still a great gun but a mountain ascent has a fluted barrel, bolt, bolt handle and extractor.

I stand corrected... I should have looked at the photos closer. I didnt realize Kimber made a Subalpine model, that one slid completely under my radar... Learn something new every day.

Well I was wrong too, I thought the subalpine was just a montana with the camo stock, as it turns out, the subalpine had a fluted barrel and milled out extractor. Sort of a middle point between a montana and a mountain ascent. Cool gun, I wish I could buy it, it would compliment my mountain ascent 300WM well.

Kimber catalog 2017 was the first with the Subalpine. The 2013 catalog is the first with the Mountain Ascent.

Thanks, Bucky. According to the specs on pg 68, the Mt Ascent and Subalpine have the same specs. Maybe the muzzlebrake offsets the non-fluted bolt
