Default A gorgeous rifle just went up on the buy and sell

I have never done this before, but a member, who I have never conversed with, replied to a post, or met has just put up an absolutely beautiful hunting rifle. It is a Kimber Classic Select in 7mm-08. I have had about a dozen Kimbers and all shot really well. I have only had one Classic Select, a 270 WSM that I should never have sold. If I didn't just buy my son a Christensen last week, I would absolutely snap this one up. It is a very fair price on a gorgeous rifle. If you have ever thought of getting a Kimber, this is one to jump at. It is a hard to come by model, and a hard to come by cartridge.

I had a 270wsm classic select too. That thing was a tack driver. Traded it in on a Nula, but still miss it. (Nula is gone now too)

Ended up picking up a 308 classic select, and definitely enjoy the trimmer action and stock on the 84m. Also grabbed a Caprivi in 375H&H from cgn, and that is a beautiful rifle.

Kimber is right near the top of factory rifles for me. Love em.

If I didn't already have its twin I'd snag it. 7-08 Kimbers don't come up that often.

That is a beauty, in my favorite cartridge....but already have a limited edition Boone & Crockett Model 700 chambered for it. If that had been a .338 Federal, I would have had to have it...

That particular itch hasn't been scratched yet.

Not stainless, matt finish blued.
