New Kimber Mountain Ascent 799 bucks

[Feral Jared]

Logic would say buy both

It would fit right between the 243 and 7mm hah!

…and I already have those. Would make my ARC kinda pointless/ sellable. This is falling into the “by now, sort out later” territory. Holding out for a 6.5 with the new +peak development... is tempting too

Ianpadron, what is the barrel length on the 22 inch short actions, when you remove the muzzle brake,and measure from end of action?

Update:

Picked mine up from the FFL today.

The Good: The gun looks sweet and the stock is waaayyyyy better than the standard stock. Interestingly, the bottom metal mag fits 5 for me, so that's sweet. Trigger feels good, once I get it setup ready to shoot I'll see if I want to lighten it any.

The Meh: The bolt is nowhere near as smooth as my Kimber Hunter, but still fine.

The Unfortunate: They must have taken a page out of Kifaru's book with their weight spec, mine is 5lb 15oz with the bolt in. It hits their weight spec of 5 lb 6oz with the bolt removed.....why the hell would you do that? I don't think it matters, it's going to be a "Mrs." Rifle primarily, with me occasionally (maybe more than that...) using it as well.

I'm really excited to see how it shoots. The way it holds is a significant improvement with an admitted significant weight penalty.

pics, never seen one in the wild, stock photos online only. Mine doesn't get here until Monday next week.

To shoulder at base of threads or crown?

At 5 lb 15 oz is it going to be a “Mrs.” rifle because it is too heavy for you? (Had to!)

20.5 +/- from where barrel meets action to crown on a factory threaded 22" sir
