So, how light can a Kimber Hunter be? A build thread.

So I noticed yesterday in my safe, and then just checked my pic on page 23 with the buck, my rifle took it upon itself to get even lighter as my grip cap is missing lol. Probably won't bother replacing it.

I have a 3d scan of the Hunter grip cap. It's not perfect but might be printable. @mtwarden did you ever try printing that?

I didn't - @Trackselk came to the rescue

yeah I lost mine too, went w/o a year w/o out one

@Trackselk gave me his- now I have one

You saved my back, I'll let you pack that beast!

What velocities are you guys getting after cutting your barrels? Specifically guys shooting 308.

How short are you cutting the barrels, what velocities are you getting and what bullet weights are you using?

iirc - 2550 fps with factory loaded 165 gr Accubonds- 19” barrel
