[QUOTE="Methow Packer, post: 831682, member: 67515"] I own that very same Kimber 8400 270WSM which also carries a Zeiss Conquest 3x9. $1100 is a really good buy IMO. I shoot groups smaller than 1/2 MOA and average 3/4 MOA with this rifle using AB 140 and RL19 powder. I'm currently working up loads using 150Grain VLD. Groups are shrinking down to 3/4 MOA so far. Match grade action and barrel. Good three point safety. Trigger is fully adjustable. Mine is at 2.5 lb with very little creep. They glass bed the action and do a great job inletting the stock IMO. I own the same rifle in .243 with a Vortex 4x16 and a .300 WM with a Leupold VX6 3x18. They all shoot tight groups considering their barrel sizes. Because Kimber is building a light weight rifle the barrel is quite thin and needs to cool more often between shots. When the barrels get tired I plan on changing them to a more suitable size but until then I'll enjoy them as they are.gun) [/QUOTE]
