Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Kimber of Oregon BGR Question

Seem to remember reading a good while back that they had some issues with them.
Handled one recently chambered in .338 mag and thought it was pretty nice. Wouldn't be my choice in caliber but......
Anyone have any personal experience with one?

Rookie, I've owned several.

7x57, 270, 280, 7Rem Mag. May have been a 06 in there somewhere too.

Never had an issue.

My 82 S 22 Hornet had headspace issues. Too long.

I've seen more reports of cracked stocks than anything else.

Contact Mountain_Boomer here (not sure of exact handle format, might be Mtn)............he worked in their shop in OR.

My lovely .338, I think it was called a Super America, didn’t feed well and shot poorly. Cost what was a lot of money for me at the time. Dumped it at a loss and would never buy another.

I’ve owned a Model 89 BGR Super America .270 for close to thirty years. It’s one of my favorite rifles, very accurate with factory loads, feeds well, good trigger, beautiful wood and comes up like a fine shotgun. I’ve killed a lot of game with it over the years.
