[QUOTE="el matador, post: 983072, member: 12193"] My hunting buddy has a Montana in 270 WSM. He bought it used for a decent price and it seemed to shoot really well at first. After the first round of load development he was getting several groups around 1/2-3/4" at 100. It still shoots that well, but the problem is that the chamber is galled. There is a pretty good sized groove that goes 1/3 of the way around the chamber. When shooting loads that are near max the brass will fireform itself into the groove and make it very difficult to eject the brass. And of course the brass is ruined. He sent it back to Kimber with a letter of explanation, along with some fired casings showing the damaged brass. They returned it to him with a letter saying that it met their specifications so no repairs were performed. My brother had a Kimber 1911 that had some feeding issues. He also sent it back for repair, and he also received a letter back saying that it was within spec and had not been repaired. Based on customer service alone I would not buy a Kimber product.
