The Kimber Talkeetna is a synthetic and stainless steel bolt-action rifle introduced in 2009, designed for dangerous game hunting. Built on the Model 8400 action, it features controlled round feed and is chambered in .375 H&H Magnum. Its all-weather construction, lighter weight (7.5 lbs empty), and shorter overall length (44.5 inches) make it suitable for harsh environments like Alaska, offering sub-MOA accuracy.
This video features a "Pros vs. Joes" challenge comparing the 6.5 Creedmoor and the .375 H&H cartridges. Pro shooter Tom Beckstrand, a former U.S. Army Special Operations officer, goes head-to-head with Guns & Ammo TV cameraman Ben LaLonde. LaLonde uses a Kimber 8400 Advanced Tactical SOC II in 6.5 Creedmoor with Hornady 140-grain ELD-M ammo. Beckstrand uses a Kimber Talkeetna 8400 in .375 H&H with Hornady Dangerous Game Series 270-grain SP-RP Superformance ammo. The challenge tests the differences between these two distinct rifle cartridges, with both competitors finishing the task in under a minute.
