This week we're taking a closer look at the Kimber Pro-Varmint. A classic bolt-gun based around the 84M action, this is a rifle with sights set squarely on its namesake quarry. The top-loading magazine boasts a hinged floorplate, a six-round capacity of .204 Ruger or .223 Remington, or a five-round capacity of .22-250 Remington. For more information on this bull-barreled varmint slayer, check out the videoembedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted, and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,427-$1,590; kimberamerica.com.
