Re: Kimber
A mate of mine had one and sold it as he didn't think it performed as it should have.
It was a nice rifle with excellent checkering top metal work.
Mind you he loves rifles that make tiny groups.
He had another rifle built on a ? rem action with a custom barrel in the same calibre and loves it.
Regards

Re: Kimber
I've only held one not shot it. It looks beautiful as long as it shoots then looks are a bonus. They have a good rep. One of my clients just won the Kimber 308 in the guns and game comp. I'll find out what he thinks when it turns up
Re: Kimber
mate of mine has one and it shot like shit, had the trigger cleaned up so id hope its doing better. Very pretty rifle all the same!
Re: Kimber
This is an interesting disclaimer from Hill Country Rifles relative to accurizing Kimbers:
"Accurizing is no longer offered for Kimber rifles. This is not a statement about Kimber, but is merely the result of our inability to get a consistent result from Accurizing these products.

Re: Kimber
Kimbers are expensive and you could get a R700 or Savage to shoot just as well if not better I think. I mean $1400 approx for their SVT Rimfire in .22LR, The CZs and Toz's proberly shoot just as well and they are tons cheaper.

Re: Kimber
Thanks for the link Dary.Have to say they are a nice looking Rifle But beauty is only skin deep.If they shot as well as they look then everyone would have one.
Quick I do agree with you their price on the 22lr is a bit over the top for what is essentualy a sportco albeit a bit flasher.
cheers AK

Re: Kimber
I have a kimber longmaster classic in 223. Which I have used for about the last 3 years and would happily buy another kimber rifle. I have mainly used my 223 with factory loads for general hunting and varminting. And with premium factory loads, I can shoot .75 inch five shot groups quite easily.
