Kimber 84 in 257 Roberts: No April Fool's!
Maybe this has already been mentioned here. I read about it in American Rifleman I believe. Wonder what twist rate they're using? It seems that the versions offered are the synthetic stocked model and a fancy wood stocked one is well. Gotta have one of these I believe!
