[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2785074, member: 8394"] In fairness to them they did move south for a better climate for operation. Sadly it coincided with our lovely governments decision to out compete everyone but the big boys for employment. Growth for many isn't really possible, it's in almost every production sector across the economy. The .gov teet > beats what only 3 years ago was a livable wage. On the average day I'll interface with two orders three small domestic companies that produce something (cast boat parts, resin applicators, hydraulics.... etc) I'm trying to remember one that is fully staffed at a level they can afford without pricing themselves out of the market entirely. Guessing kimber is in the same place, picking the highest profit items to sell with the labor force they have. Labor on a hunter stock is what, 3 minuets to apply the gel in the stock add a pad and trim the injection molding fluff? How many hrs do you think a kimber classic select stock takes to finish... now muliltiply that times what's wages were in 19 compared to now for entry level skilled labor.... Wish they would diversify the rifle options, sadly completely understand why they don't. [/QUOTE]
