Re: Kimber 8400 Tactical Opinions
KT, I have owned a Kimber 8400 tactical in the past and loved it. Factory bedding sucks but I put a Hart barrel on mine and bedded it when it was new. I think they offer a good action with a nice factory base installed.

The Kimber 8400 tactical was my first tactical rifle and it shot great. It's what got me a little too interested in this sport. I've upgraded to a 8400 advanced tactical now and I love it also. Great gun, shoot the heck out of it and enjoy it!

Go Remington or go home.
Do a search in my post you will find some good info. As XLR said the factory bedding is <span style="text-decoration: line-through">crap</span> Dogshit. If you buy you should budget in getting it properly pillar bedded. I have spent allot of time behind mine and it shoots great now. But have replaced it with a GAP cause I wanted a DBM. CDI had a 308 Kimber tactical for sale a while back that he made a DBM for so there might be hope for that. I sent him an IM asking if he could do one up for my 300WM KAT with no luck.
Great Action
Great stock
decent rail
Great trigger when tuned properly
Porly fit..
Tan finish in the barrel

Re: Kimber 8400 Tactical Opinions
my buddy has an 8400 advanced tactical in .308 and it's an absolute tack driver! But I've also heard stories of them being not so accurate mostly due to bad bedding. I've heard nothing but good about them though after they've been rebedded. I think there are just some quality control issues at kimber.

Build a custom. I've only heard about the Kimber rifle in Guns and Ammo. They lost any shred of credibility from me when they had a T/C rocking a Counter Sniper scope on the cover.

I just saw one at a local gun store... it looks really good but for the price you can build a custom one.
