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.

Alligator Hunting Opportunities Are Expanding

This year, both Florida and Louisiana are expanding or introducing new opportunities for alligator hunts. For decades, Florida has estimated that there are over one million in the state—it is, of course, hard to count alligators. Louisiana now says its alligator population exceeds three million. The two states have managed their alligator populations very differently over the last half century, but now both are expanding hunting opportunities to help manage alligator populations.
