Kimber Of Oregon African 416 Rigby?

Guns International has several Ruger's under 3K and a few Dakotas under 7K.
Thanks SF. I'm not interested in the Rugers, the Dakota we're speaking of is the one listed on there for 6200.
 

The Ruger seems like a good deal, too bad they are so ugly. There also seems to be a lot of Dakotas around. I like the heym though
Ive had the Rugers, I don't think they are too ugly though they aren't nearly as attractive as the traditionally styled and shaped rifles. They seem to have a tendency to crack, I had a 375 the cracked but thankfully that was back when you could easily find replacement stocks. My 458 never did but I also didn't shoot it much.
 
I appreciate all the help fellas. I've decided to just put that money towards a hunt, 375 will work for now. I've got some very valuable Accuracy International rifles that I may cash in, if i do that ill probably get a double in 470NE

They're reliable but for the money id just buy a Winchester Model 70 and have something that looks good
 
Bumping this thread to gather the forum's collective wisdom on the Kimber of Oregon 89 BGR. I've done some searching around the internet and have read some comments about the 89 BGRs sometimes being of questionable quality (namely with their bedding and accuracy?). But other comments stating that the Kimber of Oregon big game rifles are as high quality and just as reliable as the Kimber Caprivis.

Anyone with first hand experience? Anything I should we wary of or look for if considering the 89 BGR? I can't find a Caprivi for the life of me but seem to encounter the Kimber of Oregons more frequently (at least lately).

Thanks in advance.
 
Not to Jack the thread but the Cabelas change not for the good of the customer.

I am curious as well, as I have seen a few of these for sale in price ranges approaching what I can afford. What would be a good price for what they are?

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
