Need alittle help deciding between a kimber84m or Howa 1500. Caliber is 308 and both come in stainless.

Howa...half the price so you can spend the remaining cash on a good scope!

I had a Howa for a little while in a 25-06. It was darn good. I traded it for a lefty 243 for my cross-eye-dominant wife. I honestly kinda miss that flat-shootig, accurate little rifle. Howa makes a good product for the price.

Thanks guys!!

Soon as I read this; I said, Yep ! :rock:

I should have said it's the kimber 84m hunter

What model Howa are you looking at?

The Kimber Hunter was just released and with their track record I would wait a while till they get the bugs worked out of them.

If rifle weight is a factor in your decision know that the Howa's are heavy. This is from someone who was using a Howa(S&W) before it was cool to own one.

The Howa is a model 1500 with od green stock with what I call a stainless barrel but after talking with a Howa rep it's chrome molly that has been cerokoted he calls it grey but looks stainless to me

Weight really isn't a factor in this. I held a Howa and love it but the kimber caught my eye. But like jeep said I'm gonna see how they work out the bugs with the kimber. I have watched a few videos and read reviews on the kimber they all said great other than the dbm is the only down fall

I'm kinda like JeepKid on this one. Kimber makes some seriously good rifles but the company has a tendency to come out with new models that just aren't ready. A bug here or a bug there may be okay with SOME products but certainly not a rifle. And at Kimber prices, you certainly wouldn't want to get a junker. Even though the 84m Hunter model is relatively moderate in price in comparison to most of their other models, around $900 isn't sneezing money in today's economy.
