Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber 8400 Mountain Ascent in .270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) with the Gore Optifade soft-touch stock exemplifies what a purpose-built mountain hunting rifle should be—lightweight, rugged, and extremely accurate. At just under five pounds, this rifle is among the lightest big-game production rifles on the market, a critical advantage for hunters who traverse steep, punishing terrain and must carry their gear for miles. Its foundation is Kimber’s controlled-round-feed action with a full-length Mauser-style claw extractor, ensuring reliable feeding and extraction in harsh conditions where a single failure could cost a hard-earned shot. The 24-inch stainless steel barrel and receiver provide exceptional corrosion resistance, while the spiral-fluted bolt, hollow bolt knob, and fluted barrel are engineered to shave weight without compromising strength or accuracy. The barrel is also threaded, allowing the use of a muzzle brake or suppressor—both useful for managing the recoil of the potent .270 WSM cartridge. Every Mountain Ascent is precision pillar-bedded into its stock and has a match-grade chamber and bore, which combine to deliver the excellent accuracy for which Kimber rifles are known. The rifle’s stock further reinforces its mountain-ready pedigree. Constructed from reinforced carbon fiber, it is remarkably strong yet feather-light, and its Gore Optifade soft-touch finish offers a tactile, non-slip feel while blending seamlessly into alpine or timberline environments. The straight-comb design directs recoil straight back into the shooter’s shoulder, helping maintain sight picture through recoil and speeding follow-up shots, while the included Pachmayr Decelerator pad softens the .270 WSM’s punch. A crisp, adjustable match-grade trigger set between 3 and 4 pounds enhances precision shooting in demanding conditions. The positive three-position wing safety allows the shooter to cycle the action with the safety engaged—an invaluable safety feature in treacherous terrain. Thoughtful details, such as the inclusion of 1-inch scope ring mounts and the stock’s sling-swivel studs, complete the package, ensuring the rifle is ready for field use right out of the box. Combining ultralight weight, excellent ergonomics, controlled-feed reliability, and proven Kimber accuracy, the Mountain Ascent in .270 WSM is a refined, specialized tool purpose-built for hunters chasing game where ounces matter and reliability is non-negotiable.
