I have a chance to buy a kimber classic model 8400 308 win and was wondering the pros and cons and how good do they shoot ..... it also has a muzzle break .....thanx cj

Last summer, I purchased a Kimber 8400 LongMaster VT in .22-250. They are top quality rifles. Moving forward, if I purchase another bolt action, it will be a Kimber. It shoots sub MOA. Its worth the $. Although my next rifle will have a synthetic stock. My .22-250 is such a great looking gun, I'm afraid to scratch it.

Kimber Rifles are one of the finest expressions of a Mauser type action. If the gun has not been damaged by the previous owner it would be a good investment

Man... I love my Kimber... It is a true semi-custom. Great trigger, amazing accuracy (bedded/floate), and sexy looks to boot.

I have a Kimber Longmaster Classic in .243... Definately worth the money. I topped mine with a 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest. It is my go-to rig!

Let us know if you pick up the Kimber and how it shoots!

Good luck!

Are you sure the Classic was an 8400 and not an 84? The 8400's are long actions (like .30-06, .300WM,.338 WM, etc.) and the .308 is a short action. Bet it's an 84. I have one and it's a beauty. Great wood, light weight and shoots very well. I topped it with a Swaro American 3-9 and it's definately a keeper. Good luck with "yours".

I was going to say the same thing, but I was too lazy to look it up.

I think the classic 84 is the short action (.308)

I want to get an 8400 in .30-06 - 8400's being long action (.30-06)

ahhh...... I can only dream of a rifle like that right now...go for it and show some pictures!
