Description
This is the factory Kimber replacement magazine made specifically for the 84L Hunter, the lightweight long-action bolt gun chambered in classic American hunting rounds. It holds three rounds in a flush-fitting detachable box, so you can drop it, top it off, and slide it back in without fumbling loose cartridges into the receiver. If you've been running the 84L Hunter and want a spare in your pack or a fresh replacement, this is the exact part Kimber puts in the box from the factory.
What the 84L Hunter Magazine Is Built From
Kimber uses polished stainless steel for the body, which shrugs off the moisture, sweat, and grime that come with a long day in the woods. A high-tensile music wire spring paired with a steel follower does the heavy lifting inside, keeping rounds stacked and feeding cleanly shot after shot. The base is a flush-fitting polymer piece that adds a little shock and corrosion resistance without adding bulk. It's a simple, no-nonsense design that matches the rest of the rifle's fit and finish.
Caliber Fit for the 1002478A Magazine
This magazine is designed around the 84L long action, so it handles the family of cartridges built on the .30-06 case head. That covers .270 Winchester, .280 (including .280 Ackley Improved), and .30-06 Springfield. Because those rounds share the same base dimensions and case length, one magazine covers all three chamberings in the 84L Hunter platform. It fits the synthetic-stock Hunter models that use the removable box magazine.
Why Keep a Spare 84L Box Magazine Around
Having a second magazine on hand is one of those small things you appreciate when you need it. Owners consistently report these mags run flawlessly and feed without a hiccup, which is what you want when a shot opportunity finally shows up. Whether you're pre-loading a backup for a hunt or replacing one that's seen a lot of miles, this factory unit keeps your 84L Hunter running the way it was designed to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rifles does the Kimber 1002478A magazine fit?
This magazine is made for the Kimber 84L Hunter, the long-action version of the Model 84 platform. It works with the synthetic-stock Hunter rifles that use the removable box magazine. It is a factory OEM part, so it drops right in with no fitting.
What calibers will this 84L box magazine feed?
It handles the .30-06-based family the 84L is chambered in, including .270 Winchester, .280 (including .280 Ackley Improved), and .30-06 Springfield. Those cartridges share the same case head and overall length, so one magazine covers all three. Just match it to whatever chambering your 84L Hunter is set up for.
How many rounds does the Kimber 84L magazine hold?
It holds three rounds, which is standard for the detachable box on the 84L Hunter. Combined with one in the chamber, that gives you four ready to go. It sits flush with the bottom of the stock for a clean carry.
Is this a genuine Kimber factory magazine?
Yes, this is a factory original Kimber part, the same magazine that ships with the rifle. It is built to Kimber's specs with stainless steel construction and a music wire spring. Owners routinely report it feeds reliably right out of the package.
