KIMBER 8400 Rifle with complete kit. SPECIFICATIONS, KIMBER MODEL 8400 ADVANCED TACTICAL Manufacturer Kimber Mfg., Inc. Model Model 8400 Advanced Tactical Type Bolt-action Caliber .308 Winchester Overall Length Adjustable Weight 9 lbs., 13 oz. Capacity 5 Barrel Length 24” bull barrel Twist Rate 1:12 Stock Adjustable McMillan A-5 Finish (action and barrel) Desert tan KimPro II Finish (stock) Desert camo Swivel studs 5: 1 standard type, 4 flush fit MSRP Rifle $2,497.00; Kit (no rifle) $2,575.00 standard three- or five-round groups at 100 yards. All loads were fired from prone with the Versa-Pod bipod. The first load fired was the Samson/IMI offering, turning in a 1.25-inch group. “OK,” I thought, “almost minuteof-angle.” Next up was the Winchester load, which put ten rounds into 1.12inches—things were looking up. The Federal 308M load has long been the standard of the industry, and it showed why by shooting it through the Kimber with a group that measured a mere .06inch. The Black Hills offering was very close, measuring .07-inch. The last—and worst—of the five loads, somewhat surprisingly, was shot with Federal Gold Medal, measuring 1.5-inches. While performing the ritual of cleaning the rifle after the last 100-yard session, I wondered what the ATR was capable of when the barrel heated up during a long string of fire at a greater distance. Picking up a box of Federal 308M, I walked back and lasered the target at 200 yards. I fired the entire 20 rounds as fast as I could acquire the target, press the trigger and perform three reloads. The result was a 20-round group that measured 1.60 inches. While I was hopeful of simply doubling the group shot at 100 yards (0.12), this is still under minute-of-angle! Possibly one of the aforementioned aligned planets had shifted slightly.... To avoid this article coming off as a “gun rag puff piece,” I tried to find something, anything, I didn’t like about the Kimber Model 8400 Advanced Tactical Rifle. Sorry, I couldn’t. OK, maybe it’s a bit on the heavy side, but most true precision rifles are. Additionally, most law enforcement marksmen aren’t likely to be doing a lot of humping through the woods with it. If you have a use for a precision rifle, Kimber’s Model 8400 Advanced Tactical Rifle is worth a long, hard look. § SOURCES: Kimber Mfg., Inc. Dept. S.W.A.T.
