Our Assessment: Kimber’s 8400 series was built as a controlled-round-feed bolt action platform, with the Tactical variant configured for precision use through heavier barrel profiles, quality composite stocks, and practical accuracy-oriented features. This Kimber 8400 Tactical is chambered in .308 Winchester, a proven and widely supported cartridge known for manageable recoil, strong accuracy potential, and broad utility for hunting, target shooting, and precision rifle applications. This example features a 24″ chrome-moly heavy sporter barrel, matte blued finish, McMillan A5 composite stock with wide target forend and free-floating barrel, black nylon sling, bipod, and a Leupold VX-6 3-18×44 scope with Firedot Illuminated Boone & Crockett reticle mounted in 30mm QD rings. The McMillan stock, premium Leupold optic, crisp trigger, bipod, and versatile .308 chambering should appeal to buyers looking for a capable precision, hunting, or range rifle package with high-quality components already installed.
