Kimber 8400?

I searched through all the posts and couldn't see anything somewhat new on a Kimber 8400 in LH. If anyone has updated info I would sure appreciate it. I have been in the market for a new big game rifle and a Kimber seems to be the odds on favorite for me. If there are other suggestions on a fantastic lefty I am all eyes. :-)

Mule deer and elk are my main quest. OK, my main quest is getting another gun past the wife.

Welcome to the board.

Unless there is some new rumor going around, I wouldnt hold my breath waiting on a Kimber.

I am a LH'er too, and would love a Kimber, but just dont think its gonna happen.

I believe Kimber has gone on record as stating that a Left hand rifle is not in the forseeable future. Boddingtons pimps their rifles on a regular basis and has written many times about the need for a left hand rifle to come out of their shop. I would think is anyone could make it happen, Craig could, and it appears he has been unsuccessful. We can always hope, but I doubt it will happen.

When Kimber was on the left coast (Oregon) they knew there were left-handed people. When Kimber moved (yes, I know they are two different companies) to the right coast (NY) they forgot all about the left-handed people!

You are terminal with gunnut-itis, I'd say.....

Certainly don't need it, but I'd be grabbing one in 708 and..... oh wait, I may be terminal as well.
