Kimber Caprivi 375 H&H

Has any one see one of these? They are so new the Kimber website does not even have a photo!
Sounds like it may have potential.

I handled one at SCI and thought it was very nice.

I handled two .375 H&H's, the feel of them was amazing and I was greatly impressed with them.

Balance, weight and handling was in perfect harmony.

I saw a shot show photo, but I was under the understanding that this would be a dropped box magazine, not a traditional looking magazine.

I understand it is 4 plus 1 is that correct? Or is it 3+1?

The Ruger Express holds four without a dropped box, the CZ holds 5 I beleive but has a drop box. The M700, M70, Mark V, and Sako 75 (non-safari) hold 3.

I am hoping it holds 4 in the magazine.

I have a Blaser R93 that holds 4 safely. But that's one in the tube, and 3 in the mag with the decocker on.

We don't need another 3 round 375. We really need another 4 or 5 round one. Never such a thing as having too many rounds while hunting things with the 375.

Hugh,

See this previous Topic.

D99, I believe we determined earlier this year - 4 down!

Les,

Thanks for the link. Both the Kimber and the Sako look very nice. I may need to sit on my money for a while till, I get a chance to handle both!

Thanks, Hugh

Just got back from the NRA show and they had two on display. I like the way they balance and the shape of the forearm as opposed to the clunkier Ruger with its railroad tie feel. I think the price was around $3,300 or there abouts.

Scroll down to the Kimber section.

Probably not in stock yet, but Daryl seems to be very competitely priced on Kimber.

It's great that it holds four rounds, but they should have gave it a preggo stock and added another one.

I think for $2500-3200 they could have at least done that.

Their old rifle had it, the 89, so why not this one?
