New Kimber Mountain Ascent 799 bucks

[ianpadron]

For those who snagged one of these, what scope are you topping it off with.

There is only one acceptable answer, and that is the SWFA 3-9 HD.

Rokslide caused me to spend money again...

What's funny is that in any sort of post-purchase (like post-mortem) rabbit hole I go down, there isn't a lot to be said about the Kimber Mountain Ascent Peak. Plenty to be said about Montanas, regular Mountain Ascents, and Hunters, but not much for the Peak series.

That alone tells me that maybe this configuration wasn't super popular. Whether that's due to stock geometry or other reasons are yet to be determined. That being said, I have a feeling that now that there are about to be A LOT more of these in the wild, we'll see new reports on them and what great value they are. At least that's what I'm telling myself after whipping out the credit card "for investment reasons."

Between what I already know about the platform(s), both Kimber and HS Precision, I have a feeling that these were a deal that shouldn't be passed up.

The 84Ms in 6.5 CM for whatever reason seem to be inexplicably accurate, you fellas should be in for a treat.

Factory fodder 143 ELDX and 147 ELDM. I've been around a few and they all love both of those loads

I think the Trijicon Huron goes well with the 84M, especially with the BDC reticle.

That's what I have on mine. Drops line up perfect for 300, 400 and 500 with 143 ELDX and 200 yd zero

I've been looking for a stock with better geometry for my Kimber Hunter. I was hoping they were going to do a RokStok lite for it, but between the stocks coming in well over weight for the other inlets and their insufferably slow process, I started looking around. I shoot the Hunter well, but I'm hoping this is a little faster/better. Hard to pass up for $800

30-06 is currently available on PSA. Looking at the weight it’s 6#+. Were the long actions always this heavy? Basically at tikka weight

Long action (84L) Montanas were about 5 pounds 12 ounces, Mountain Ascents a hair lighter.

.270s are in stock

 

[Trr15]

.270s are in stock

Damn it

 

[Dwnw/theAltitudesickness]

Just bought a different gun this week. The caliber I want better not come in stock.... signed up for notification for it........

 

[BigWoods]

Damn it

Didn't know you wanted a .270 until now right?

 

[NRA4LIFE]

Unfortunately, no man bun here so I was not allowed to purchase.

Last thing I need is another .270, but that’s gonna be hard to pass up. I’m actively trying to talk myself out of it at the moment.

If 30/06 was still in stock I’d already have ordered it. .270 is tempting though. Can anyone honestly say this is that much of a better buy than a tikka superlite?

 

[mitchellmountain]

If that 27O was a fast twist it would already be gone

That's a tough one. If I had to bet money a rifle would shoot lights out, id go Tikka, but when you get a Kimber that shoots, no one will ever convince me a better mountain rifle exists.

I've got 11 Kimbers, they all shoot well, the least accurate is about a 2" 10 shot gun, the most accurate is right around 1" for 10. Only 2 required tinkering and minimal tinkering at that

 

[Dwnw/theAltitudesickness]

How often is this sale price available ? Seemed like a screaming deal

 

[Bama67]

Never seen them that cheap.
I have a $800 Hunter, it shoots sub moa and it weighs 5 lb, 6 oz with the scope.
That's something no other rifle can do unless its $$$.

Welp….i debated long enough that the .270s sold out. Now Im pissed I didn’t grab one of them.
