What is the situation for you guys in the States as far as getting Kimber rifles from your gun shops?

Do they have stock and if this is not the case, what sort of wait time are you experiencing?

They are proving very hard to get here in Australia, despite an excellent distributor.

They are locally rare, unless you live someplace with a big enough shop to stock them. They can be hard to order from the distributors, as they sell out quickly.

What about Abelas in Sydney. They had quite a stock when I lived in Canberra 18 months ago.

I just moved from Brisbane but would see them routinely (over priced as all things Australian) at the big shop there. Cannot recall the name but a search should easily find it.

What cartridge?

Abelas have Ascent in 308 and 30-06.

There's a really, really, really nice .22-250 Varmint in my local. It's brand new, but it's got some drool marks on it from me.
