Wow, Tax's and all for a Montana 7mm-08 is $900 big ones at Hendershots in Hancock, MD.

Sounds like the $870 I paid for the classic 8400 was a rip. I would have paid the extra $30 for the Montana.

Gun Rack in Kernersville North CArolina quoted me 769 for a 84m classic 308 win ...

Yup, I got ripped off big time, guess I helped that local shop stay in business. Don't feel real good about it though and will not go back. I won't tell you what I paid for my first Kimber Gold Match at the same place, would be too ashamed.

Not to make you feel bad but this guy has the best prices I have seen yet on anything he sells. On the other hand there is another dealer in NC that has higher prices then BC or yourself quoted and I wouldn't buy from them if my Life depended on it. I have dealt with the Gun Rack for a number of years and they are above board.. I would have to be a fool to buy from anywhere else unless he simply cannot get the item.

Thanks for the warm and fuzzy, I guess I wont beat the wife and kick the poor dog when I get home today then. I was in Jacksonville, NC for a few years, it seems that the prices in general were much more competitive down your way. I belonged to a gun club called Flatwoods located just outside of LeJeune/Jacksonville, the had a shop with excellent prices. Guess you win some and loose some. My problem was just that, I could not get a Kimber from my regular shop, so I went into the unknown cause I was hellbent on buying a Kimber.

In retrospect I have purchased a lot of guns from one particular dealer in NJ and thought I was getting a good price and was getting royally screwed for a long time. Sometimes when you want something bad enough you have to pay extra and sometimes you don't.

I went to the local gun shop to look at the 8400 and the 84 and the dealer said go ahead and dry fire it. It was without a doubt the best trigger I have ever felt. There was even a Weatherby guy in the store who told me that he owned three Kimber rifles because they were better than the rifles that he sold. The 8400 was going for $899. As bad as I wanted that rifle I just couldn't justify the money to shoot a little tighter group than I am getting from my 35 year old Winchester M70.

I'm glad there are a few others out there willing to fess up. Many times we are not in a position to dictate price, the avaliabliity of many quality guns is deminishing in many areas. While this is a sad state of affairs for gun owners and potential gun owners, that is no reason to take advantage of us. Oh well, I have the Kimber and enjoy it none the less.
