6.5 Creedmoor Kimber Hunter
« on: November 04, 2016, 05:45:25 PM »
I picked up a Kimber Hunter and topped it with a VX2 CDS model. Curious if anyone else has one of these little rifles?
I cannot wait to get some groups started for my new hunting rifle.
A remarkable experience is one where the pain is forgotten so quickly, the frustrations and struggles are forgotten the minute you’re done.

I can’t wait to do it the next time.

Nice rifle.  Are you gonna hand load for it?  If so make sure you post the recipe.

After I acquire some brass and what not I'm sure that i will not be able to resist. There will be a update down the road.

I was kickin tires at sportsmans warehouse in denver this summer and checked one of those out.  Was shocked at how light it was, guess im just accustomed to heavy rifles.  The trigger felt great too.  Ended up leaving with a weatherby that turned out to be a fantastic gun.

That's the exact set up in thinking of.   Let us know how it shoots!

My father in law has one in 308 and it's a great gun. It's amazingly light.

Yes, I have shot it. Great shooter so far. Barrel heats up in a hurry, but thats expected for a light weight pencil barrel.
