Kimber Subalpine .308

leclairk · Apr 15, 2023

Kimber Subalpine chambered in .308 with an 18" barrel. This rifle is the earlier version of their Mountain Ascent series. The only difference according to Kimber is the newest rifle has a fluted bolt and includes a muzzle break. This rifle has a manufacturer date of 2018. I bought this rifle new/unfired about 6 months ago. Approximately 100 rounds down the pipe. I sent the barrelled action to LRI and had them cut to 18" and thread 1/2-28. I will include the 5/8-24 adapter. I will also include the set of 30mm Talley rings. I am selling this rifle because I'm just not a fan of ultralight rifles. The rifle feels small and I just don't feel comfortable shooting it, especially at game. This rifle weighs 4lbs 13oz with the rings according to my scale. I will include photos of the groups I have shot with this gun.
I am selling this rifle for cheap because I messed up the stock. I screwed in the slide stud too far and the t-nut is pulling out of the stock (see pictures). If I was going to keep the rifle I would fix it myself or send it to someone to fix. Kimber said they will not fix it and want to charge $500 for a new stock. If I was going to buy a rifle like this I would rather get it cheaper and fix it myself or have it fixed so I know it was done right. If you're a handy person, congratulations you just got a sweetheart of a rifle for cheap.
