    I happened to run across Kimber's Tactical rifles, and must say I like what I saw. I wanted to know if anyone here has any experience with either their Patrol Tactical or LPT model rifle?

    Kimber America | Model 84M LPT

    Kimber America | Model 8400 Patrol Tactical

    I know Kimbers have had a bad rep in the past but from what I have read that is behind them. Both rifles look like a good platform, but wanted to touch base and see if anyone here has any hands on time with either model.

    Thanks,

    A.J.
     
    Last time I shot a Kimber Rifle it was a US Army .22LR Kimber. It was a good rifle, but that was 15 years ago. If its on par with that kind of quality, you would be ok. Sorry I havn't had any hands on with those two models, but the one and only one I have ever shot was a good rifle.
     
    Kimber still puts out some crap and I've seen recent problem rifles but you're more likely to get a good one than not. The problem with the rifle you're looking at is it has absolutely zero aftermarket support, you couldn't even add a DBM if you wanted to. Personally I'd pass on it.
