I just got a Kimber Hunter Pro stainless with a muzzle brake from Euro Optics in 6.5 for 799.00 It weight is 5 LB 8 Oz

Nobody mentioned the Kimber soft case and sling they threw in the deal..

The case is nice. My sling seems unusable. About 6 inches of strap above the padded part I can’t adjust out. It went back in the box…
And don’t forget there’s a sticker in there too…

All for the sticker

Did they offer up any .280 Ack. Imp. @ the $800 closeout?
Anyone gets one of those? If so , assessment?

I didn’t get it on a closeout but do have one in 280 ai. I’m real happy with it. I sighted it in with the factory muzzle brake, then swapped the brake to an Area 419 Hellfire cause I can’t stand radial brakes. I don’t know what happened but it shot like sh!t with that brake. Swapped it to a Jetblast and it went back to shooting little groups again. Only thing I can think is that heavy brake messed with harmonics on that thing barrel. I’d never seen anything like that.

Great info.. Yes those ultra light barrels can be rather finicky.
