#SundayGunday: Kimber Model 84M Hunter

posted on January 1, 2017

When most hunters think about rifles from Kimber, the first thing that comes to mind is usually price, which is typically several hundred dollars above a grand. But the latest rifle from Kimber, the Model 84M Hunter, isn't a typical offering from the company. The Hunter has an MSRP of less than $900—it's the least expensive rifle in Kimber's line-up. Now if that doesn't get your attention, perhaps this will: The Hunter has the same controlled-round-feed, stainless steel 84M action and match-grade barrel that go on Kimber's other rifles like the Montana and Adirondack—but you'll save $500 to $800 with the Hunter.

Field Tested: Federal Heavyweight TSS

Last year, I had the pleasure of travelling to the Yucatan peninsula in search of ocellated turkey.
