Bugger!

Seen something of the Marlin variety manufactured around 1881....


Something not often encountered in the UK, a Kimber. These are absolutely lovely, lovely rifles. This is the 84M SVT (Short Varmint Target. Mauser action with a 18 inch, fluted, bull barrel. This is a thick barrel! Far heavier than a varmint profile. 1 in 9" twist and a match chamber. The smoothest of actions. A heavy black and pepper laminated stock. Really, really nice condition. Not mint, but bloody close!

If wanted, a Leupold Vari-X III, 6.5-20x40 Long Range scope. 30mm tube, side paralax. Boxed with a Leupold Alumina sun shade and Alumina lens cover. Varmint Hunter reticle.

Leupold Rings and bases.

New, this package would be over two and a half grand. Non of your normal bollox claiming its a bargain by knocking a couple of hundred quid off what the retail price was....

Rifle and scope and rings and bases £1350.
Rifle alone with bases as dedicated for the 84M £950.
Scope and rings not available separately.

I'll get some pics up of the gun later, but a quick link to the model with specs...

You need to get some tablets for that Marlinitis!!
You've not been the same since your lass "made" you watch BrokeBackMounting with her...

Kimber - nice 1911 pistols from what I remember.

Rifle looks nice....is the scope available separately??

Knob...

Presumably in .223?

Aye - you'd think something THAT obvious would still be worth a mention in the original advert!

A very nice .223.
Read some of the online reviews....I'm surprised Sim had the good taste to buy something as Gucci as this...far too nice for him!

Yep, sorry .223 Rem.

A wee bump.

A lovely little .223 rifle with a 1 in 9" twist, heavy bull barrel, fluted with a match chamber and adjustable trigger, on a mini Mauser action set in a heavy, warp free, super strong, gorgeous laminate stock, with Leupold bases and a Leupold VarixIII if you want....

Bloody hell, what's not to like?!

Free slot, but just spent a fortune on my Remi 700 in 223 :( Doh.

Not to worry. A shame though. Kimber really are a cut above "factory" rifles. Unfortunately, they have not had a great deal of exposure in the UK for a number of reasons, much to our detriment....

A little bump, then I'm putting her back in the cabinet....

Would consider a trade for pre-WW1 Marlin lever guns!
