So what I have concluded from all your replies is I have a 50 - 50 chance of getting a bad rifle....
I'm 7 for 7 with being happy with my Kimber results in the past roughly 8 years. I'll let you do the math for me.
To some extent, Kimbers are like Remington 700's. You generally only hear about the bad ones, which all makers do turn out occasionally. They are factory rifles and not custom rifles, but I'll buy another one when the right one comes along, and I won't worry all the way home wondering if I spent my money wisely. If it doesn't shoot 0.5 MOA "all day long if I do my part", I won't worry about it because it will likely shoot more than adequately for a LW hunting rifle with little or no tweeking.
