Description

This rifle takes its name from the distinctive yet understated Desolve Blak camo pattern on the rifle’s stock, which has clean, classic lines. Overall, I like the look, but I wasn’t too sure about the effectiveness of the light stippling on the pistol grip and forearm areas of the polymer stock. That concern was put to rest when I handled the gun with wet hands and found that the stippling provided a solid grip.

There are a few tradeoffs with this gun compared to its pricier stablemates, but the heart of the rifle is pure Kimber because it’s built around the same slimmed-down Model 84 action and reduced-circumference bolt that’s used in more expensive guns. Paired with its lightweight stock and a slender, sporter-profile barrel, the gun weighs just 5.9 pounds before you add a scope.
