Given the commitment that Kimber has made to provide law enforcement and civilian shooters with top-grade 1911 pistols for duty and defense, it was no surprise when Kimber announced it was entering the tactical rifle market in January 2007. The Yonkers gunmaker currently catalogs three rifles of this type: the M84 LPT (Light Police Tactical), made on the company’s Model 84 action, the Tactical and Advanced Tactical guns, both based on the larger Model 8400 action. All differ in weight, barrel length and stock options.

The top of the Kimber tactical line is the Advanced Tactical Rifle, a repeating bolt-action gun with a 24-inch heavy barrel and a McMillan A-5 stock. The rifle offers all the signature Kimber action features including a two-lug bolt, a Mauser-style non-rotating claw extractor, a mechanical blade ejector, a pivoting left-side bolt release and a recessed recoil lug between the receiver and barrel. Also retained is the Winchester 70-type three-position swinging safety lever located on the bolt shroud.
