I remember Kimber rifles generally were not accurate, say, under 1 MOA. I'm looking at ultralight rifles under $2,000. is Kimber worth a look?
Kimber owners, be honest.

I have a Kimber 84L Hunter in .30-06 that I had it rechambered to .30 Gibbs and is shooting under MOA at 200Y; I was just playing around with what kind of velocity (not accuracy) I get with 190 Berger VLD with the powder I already have opened.

I think as long as ppl understand what these rifles are for, which is a VERY lightweight backcountry rifle, you are fine. To many ppl buy these guns expecting to shoot bug holes at 1000 yards and when they cant, then they get soured, its a tool with a specific purpose, Its a 5lb rifle meant to shoot well, and be packed comfortably all day in the mountains.I have a Kimber Subalpine in 280ai as @Huntsman66 said its also a very consistent 3/4". I have no problem taking a 500 yard shot, however it will likely never be a true tack driver. I have shot 140 ballistic tip factory ammo from Nosler and handloads with 119 Absolute Hammers.
Spot on!I think as long as ppl understand what these rifles are for, which is a VERY lightweight backcountry rifle, you are fine.
