Anyone tried the Kimber Hunter Pro in .280 AI? Looking for reviews!

That’s interesting! I’m curious about recoil. How does the Kimber handle it compared to a Savage Axis in .30-06?

I’d say the Kimber’s recoil is much more manageable than the Savage. The Axis feels like a truck compared to the sleek Kimber, which is a big plus for me.

I like the sound of that! A lighter rifle with manageable recoil sounds perfect for extended hikes.

For a rifle at this price point, I think Kimber should have offered more stock options. Choices like synthetic or wood could appeal to more buyers, don’t you think?

Absolutely! A wood stock would be pretty appealing visually. But I do appreciate the lightweight composite on the Kimber; it balances well.

For those who own the Kimber, what’s the trigger like? I’ve heard varying opinions and would love some firsthand experience.

The trigger on mine is excellent! Crisp and light, which is a major improvement over what I’ve had on past rifles. Definitely a selling point for me!

That’s great to know! Trigger quality can really make or break the experience. I’ll have to seriously consider this rifle.

I think as with any purchase, it’s all about personal preference and what fits your needs. Try it if you can before committing to buy!
