[QUOTE="Gene, post: 442569, member: 7402"] Chris: I did not mention Kimber because I cannot recommend them. Several years ago, I bought a Model94 Kimber in .308. Pretty little rifle, and with my mini Leupold 3-9x, weighs about 6 1/2 lbs. But it has been returned to the factory three times. The pillars were not straight; they replaced the stock with new pillars included. A burr was found in the bore; replaced the barrel and when rounds were loaded in the magazine, with first shot, the magazine opened and shells fell to ground. They fixed that as well. But, after 250 rounds, I still get heavy bluing from the barrel and accuracy is not good. I would not buy another Kimber and cannot recommend it to others. [/QUOTE]
