[QUOTE="Carlos88, post: 2439479, member: 116554"] The secret (mine) to making Kimbers shoot is to re-bed the rifle. It's a no-no to have the barreled action sitting on the pillars. Pillars were only intended to eliminate or minimize the stock being crushed when the action screws are torqued down. They are not intended for anything else. The other issue I have found is the front base screw being "mashed down" against the barrel threads when bases are screwed down. I'm convinced as I've fixed my own and friends Kimbers numerous times & that this is the reason for the "Kimber lottery". I'd put my Kimbers up against any factory rifle out there. I'll post pictures prior to and after the two treatments. [/QUOTE]
