The Kimber Mountain Ascent (Kimber part no. 3000916) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester and built around a 22-inch barrel cut with a 1-in-10-inch twist, finished in a Mojave and Bronze color scheme for hunters who want a distinctive look on a lightweight mountain rifle. Kimber built the Mountain Ascent as one of the lightest production hunting rifles available, pairing a slim profile with the accuracy expected of a Kimber action. A 3-position safety keeps the rifle simple to run in the field, and the receiver ships without factory sights, keeping it ready for a lightweight hunting scope. A 4+1 capacity rounds out a rifle purpose-built for backcountry hunters who need to move fast and shoot straight after a long climb.
