About the Kimber 8400 Advanced Tactical
The Kimber 8400 Advanced Tactical is a precision bolt-action rifle designed for law enforcement and military sniper applications. Built on Kimber's proven Model 8400 action, it features a match-grade stainless steel barrel with a match-grade chamber and comes with a Kimber factory guarantee of sub-0.5 MOA accuracy. The rifle is equipped with a Manners MCS-TF4 folding stock with adjustable comb for optimal cheek weld, an aluminum bedding block for consistent accuracy, and a SureFire muzzle brake that doubles as a suppressor adapter. The three-position Model 70-type safety provides safe carry, fire, and bolt manipulation positions. With 20 MOA bases installed from the factory and QD sling mounts, the 8400 Advanced Tactical is ready for deployment out of the box.
Kimber, renowned primarily for their 1911 pistols, applied their obsessive attention to match-grade accuracy to the tactical rifle market with the 8400 Advanced Tactical, achieving a sub-half-MOA accuracy guarantee that rivals custom rifles costing twice as much.
