Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is proud to present a once-in-a-generation offering direct from the legendary Kimber Vault—an extraordinary collection of firearms that have never before been released to the public. These remarkable pieces include Serial Number One examples, rare prototypes, and factory display & salesman samples, ALL of which were retained internally for decades by Kimber's Founder, Owner, & CEO, Leslie Edelman.
Until now, these firearms have remained unseen outside of the company’s inner circle, making this a truly unprecedented opportunity for collectors. Each firearm will be accompanied by an official Kimber Factory Certificate of Authenticity, further solidifying its provenance and historical significance.
As the exclusive outlet entrusted with their release, Bryant Ridge Co. offers collectors a unique chance to acquire historically significant Kimber firearms with unmatched provenance and desirability.
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Kimber 84M Montana with Serial Number #KM18873!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents an 84M Montana rifle, identified by the serial number KM18873. This specific firearm is chambered in 7mm-08 Remington and is configured with a 22-inch barrel, a stainless finish, and synthetic stocks.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber 84M Montana is one of the most respected ultralight hunting rifles on the market, built around Kimber’s controlled-round-feed Model 84M action. Designed specifically for backcountry and mountain hunting, the Montana pairs a stainless steel barreled action with a lightweight synthetic stock, resulting in a rifle that is both rugged and exceptionally easy to carry. Its minimalist, no-nonsense design reflects a focus on real-world field performance rather than cosmetic embellishment. From a performance standpoint, the 84M Montana excels in reliability and accuracy. The controlled-round-feed system—modeled after classic Mauser-style actions—ensures dependable feeding and extraction in harsh conditions, while the match-grade barrel and crisp, adjustable trigger provide consistent shot placement. Typically weighing in around the mid-5-pound range depending on caliber, the Montana offers an ideal balance between portability and shootability, making it a favorite among serious hunters who cover difficult terrain. From a collector’s and enthusiast’s perspective, the 84M Montana holds strong appeal due to its reputation and practical design. While not a limited-edition rifle, it has developed a loyal following among experienced hunters who value lightweight performance and Kimber’s attention to detail. Well-maintained examples remain highly desirable, particularly as ultralight rifles continue to gain popularity, cementing the Montana as a benchmark in the category of premium, field-ready hunting rifles.
