[QUOTE="Gene, post: 547417, member: 7402"] I bought a Kimber Model 84 in .308 5 years ago, and it has been returned to Younkers (the factory) 3 times. The pillars were not installed straight; a burr was found in the muzzle when it was new; and the full magazine would open, droping shells on the ground, with first shot. They did fix everything, but accuracy is still lousy and after 300 rounds, the barrel still collects much copper, despite trying JB, and numerous solvents. I would not buy another Kimber. And, after spending $1100 on the rifle, I will not spend another $500 to rebarrel it. [/QUOTE]
