A gorgeous rifle just went up on the buy and sell
 
I have never done this before, but a member, who I have never conversed with, replied to a post, or met has just put up an absolutely beautiful hunting rifle. It is a Kimber Classic Select in 7mm-08. I have had about a dozen Kimbers and all shot really well. I have only had one Classic Select, a 270 WSM that I should never have sold. If I didn't just buy my son a Christensen last week, I would absolutely snap this one up. It is a very fair price on a gorgeous rifle. If you have ever thought of getting a Kimber, this is one to jump at. It is a hard to come by model, and a hard to come by cartridge.

Why couldn't that be a lefty? It sure is a beauty, all right.

I had a 270wsm classic select too. That thing was a tack driver. Traded it in on a Nula, but still miss it. (Nula is gone now too)

Ended up picking up a 308 classic select, and definitely enjoy the trimmer action and stock on the 84m. Also grabbed a Caprivi in 375H&H from cgn, and that is a beautiful rifle.

Kimber is right near the top of factory rifles for me. Love em.

If I didn't already have its twin I'd snag it. 7-08 Kimbers don't come up that often.

Stinky Coyote 09-15-2020 12:43 PM

beauty, is that a matte finish stainless barrel? can't tell in pics

if only a guy could get one in 6.5 Grendel, perfection

Twisted Canuck 09-15-2020 04:37 PM

That is a beauty, in my favorite cartridge....but already have a limited edition Boone & Crockett Model 700 chambered for it. If that had been a .338 Federal, I would have had to have it...:lol:

That particular itch hasn't been scratched yet.

How is he able to post on the buy and sell as his first post?

Any time you have a moderating question, please send us a pm, and we will be happy to answer if we can. To your question, I believe in years gone by, there was a time limit as to when you could access the buy and sell section. In recent times, with the rise of online scammers, to protect members, they changed requisites to also include a minimum number of posts. That allows us to see people actually contribute as outdoorsmen, and to see their skill in English, as many of the scammers are overseas, and I hate to to say it, but Quebec too. Now, they have to show meaningful posts, plus the time requirement. Also, one word posts do not cut it, and we try and short circuit those kind of guys too. It is still far from perfect, and as always it is buyer beware, but we are doing all we realistically can. Hope that answers your question.

Not stainless, matt finish blued.

I’ve got the same rifle in 7mm-08 too. They’re a nice little package. Mine wears a little 2-8x36 leupold now.

I bet you would be favorably impressed. Ergonomic perfection, lightweight, and classic looks. Outstanding triggers too.

EZM 09-15-2020 09:58 PM

sold in under 4 hours.

Nice rifle.

fishnguy 09-15-2020 10:19 PM

^ Was posted yesterday it appears.

Wish I saw the post earlier. Would be a perfect fit to replace my BLR in 7-08 (I have quite a few boxes of ammo too).

I put the exact same scope on my 308. Wonderful combo.

Agreed. All four of my kimbers wear one of those scopes.

I’m running the same 2.5-8 on my Montana. This little gem is getting an FX-II 6x with LRD reticle instead of the Montanas duplex. Both bought off here.

That's affirmative..........don't tell anyone!

Stubb 09-16-2020 08:41 AM

A few years ago my dad bought a Super America in .308, while sighting it in on the 5th shot the ebony forend tip fell off, like dropped on the table. Called Kimber assuming they wanted it sent back and they said glue it with Gorilla glue... which we did and it's been fine since but was a bit surprised that was the response we got. I suppose every gun through the production line isn't perfect but that kind of turned me off Kimber. It sure is good to look at though!

fishnguy 09-18-2020 11:16 PM

Not quite 7-08, but there is another one for sale in 300 wsm for $1,200: http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread.php?t=387721

dmac 09-19-2020 07:28 AM

A little different but still a fine rifle. I had the exact 8400 and have the exact 708. Luv my Kimbers.

fishnguy 09-19-2020 11:02 PM

^ You are right, my fault. It is a little different. Sorry. I didn’t pay enough attention because not really interested in that caliber.

Coiloil37 09-19-2020 11:56 PM

The 8400 series needs a stock change to feel as svelte in the hand as the rest of the kimber lineup. The 84m and 84l are pure nirvana from the factory.

AB2506 09-20-2020 05:47 PM

I am a Kimber Montana fan. I do not care for the long action 8400, but love my 8400 WSM in 300WSM.

I have a 84M in 6.5 Creedmoor and one in 223 that is being converted to 17 Remington.

Also have a 84M Varmint 22-250in a Wildcat stock. Love them all. Best rifles for my tastes.
