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.
