Jack Warne sold the original company and it went broke. Restarted by converting Mauser '96's.

To be honest, their original rifles were hit and miss. I think the current crop is the best, although I would have liked a large caliber BGR '89 I think they were named.

Been through Kimba, Jack's one time home, driving from Adelaide to Ceduna when we moved to Perth in '87. Was a nice little town and I thought of the Kimber rifles then, having owned ones in .22 and .22WMR.

Prior to starting Kimber firearms, Jack worked with Sportco.

Cheers, Chris

Did not know this about the history either..

Agree with the above..think the latest long guns are the best they have ever done..in the last few years I have not met up with anyone that has had issues with them...guns are like cars..some people like Fords, some like Chevy's...
