Done research on it and I know it's gotten mixed reviews. But I'd like the forum's input as to what I need to know about it. Fire away.

I have not fired one but did try one for fit in my Local Gun Store. The rifle balanced very well and came to the shoulder and eye nice and easy every time. The trigger felt crisp.

One negative for me was it only had a 3 shot magazine from memory. The thing that killed it for me was the price. In Aust. at the time it was over $3000. A Ruger magnum action in 375H&H was $2300 and a CZ550 was $1500.

I have a Kimber Talkeetna in 375H&H. I've not used it in Alaska yet, just Africa, but despite the name it didn't seem to mind. I took a PAC ele bull and then later an impala. Both with iron sights. Baboons proved a little too sharp-eyed and smart for iron sights. Or maybe just too small for my ageing eyes.

I've found it superbly reliable. Which is my basic requirement.

With my handloads and open sights I shot .69" groups at 25 yards, which was about the distance I shot my elephant. I considered that adequate for my purposes.
