RE: Kimber question
I have Kimber m98 sporterized mauser in 7mm rem mag. I believe I bought it in 1995. Kimber sporterized military mausers both 98's and 96's around that time frame....96 &98 mausers in 22-250, 6.5x55 308,270win/30-06, 7mm rem mag/300win and 338win mag.
My gun is a M98 zbrojovka brnoVZ-24 action with 25 inch blue fluted brl, in a black plastic stock (butler creek) I bought mine new in box for 299.00 on the brl it say's Kimber of America, Inc, Clackmas OR , M98 sporterized in USA.
My 7mm mag shoots real well, I added a timney trigger. Kimber did a nice job
sporterizing the mauser for the money.
