KIMBER from CLACKAMAS, Oregon in .416 Rigby

I have a Kimber 89. If I were in the market. At that price range. I would want to see a test target.
 
Down to $7000 it goes!
 
Migrabill, I must apologize.

reading my post it appears that I’m saying your rifle is overpriced. I should’ve combined my post with the one stating you should not wait on buying that double rifle.

What I meant to say is at your price point it could sit a while and the Double will be gone.

To be clear. This is priced fairly. These Early Kimbers with the options your rifle has, the wood, the caliber all add to the rarity and original price. The .375 demand a premium , 416 even more.
 
Bump $6700 Shipped. Last reduction.

I recently acquired this gorgeous KIMBER. The only reason I am looking to sell it is that something else just became available that I really want and this would fund it.

The Kimber Model 89 African offered here is an original Clackamas, Oregon rifle, manufactured during Kimber of Oregon's highly regarded production era. These early Clackamas rifles are widely recognized by collectors and enthusiasts for their exceptional craftsmanship, controlled-round-feed Mauser-style action, excellent walnut stocks, and hand-fitted quality that is difficult to find in modern production rifles.

Unlike later Kimber firearms, the Clackamas rifles were built in relatively limited numbers and have developed a loyal following among collectors of classic American sporting rifles. The Model 89 African, chambered in the legendary .416 Rigby, represents one of Kimber's finest dangerous-game rifles and is sought after by both hunters and collectors.

Whether you're looking for a rifle to take on safari or a classic American firearm to add to a serious collection, an original Clackamas Kimber is an increasingly desirable and difficult-to-find piece of firearms history.

The rifle is fitted with Talley 30MM Lever Lock Rings. Metal, wood, and overall condition is excellent. Has only the slightest handling marks. Double square bridge, barrel banded Front Hooded Ramp Sight with Flip Moon feature. 9 pounds 1 ounce without scope. 24" barrel. CRF Mauser.

$7500 takes it. $100 shipping.

Love the plumb action, like some of the old tang safety Ruger (and many of their early single actions, Texas Longhorn Arms) I find it adds to the beauty and attraction of the weapon.

You seemed excited to score this one…can’t help but spur nosey curiosities what cool firearm you stumbled upon in the meantime. Do tell.

Of all the crazy things I've heard on this forumn, I think "Love the plumb action." takes the cake.

The Google answer to this is on the 1st page of this thread. Some people love it, others (I take it Hedge is one) do not. But I don't really understand his post as some people actually seek it out.
 
Dude! I love me some plumb action!!!! It just really dries up after you get married...sigh
Beautiful rifle though!!!! GLWS

Hey, I ain’t ashamed to admit it. As a longtime vintage Ruger single action collector, I’d seek out plumber colored frames when possible. The more vibrant the hue the better.

It’s not like I said I adore the pastel periwinkle tone with some feminine lisp to my speech…granted, I do also really like pink fruity beers over bitter IPA any day…so it might just be me as well.

I’m still beaming today after learning Friday that I won the Idaho all-state bighorn tag that includes Hells Canyon…so the lucky plumb-loving fool who was selected out of just over 32,000 entries. So yall can try and pick on me all day, hell week, long…I’ll still be smiling I promise.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
