The Sako 85 action includes a front locking two-piece bolt with three lugs that cocks on opening. The similar Model 84M Super America version comes with a select AAA grade Claro walnut stock, highly polished blue metal finish and is a very classy looking rifle. A one inch rubber recoil pad and detachable sling swivel bases are supplied. The Classic model's fine claro walnut stock is classically styled, superbly checkered at 20 lines per inch and has a hand rubbed oil finish. The 84M Classic barreled action is finished in a matte blue. Incorporated into the design of the Kimber 84M are a ball bearing three position Model 70 type wing safety, one-piece Model 70 type bolt with a 90 degree bolt lift, controlled round feeding and extraction, two front locking lugs with a rear lug for safety, milled steel hinged floor plate and trigger guard with the magazine floor plate release inside the trigger guard, open topped receiver for easy field loading and a glass bedded action. The basic Kimber action is based on the legendary pre-1964 Winchester Model 70.

Kimber added a standard (.30-06) length action to the line in 2006 and there is also a short magnum version called the Model 8400 that is chambered for the WSM series of cartridges. The Kimber 84M series of rifles was designed specifically for short action (.308 Win. 308 Winchester, while the regular Model 84M comes in short action calibers. The Longmaster is currently offered only in. We prefer the extra weight of the Longmaster.
Regular 84M rifles are supplied with 22" light contour barrels to save weight. The Longmaster is essentially identical to the lighter weight 84M Classic with the exception of its heavier 24 inch stainless steel, fluted barrel. They are well balanced hunting rifles with a "match grade" barrel, trigger and chamber. The specific Kimber 84M variations reviewed on Guns and Shooting Online include both the Longmaster Classic and standard 84M Classic.
