I think a rifle as light as the Kimber forces you to be a better shot... you have to pay attention to all the fundamentals more carefully, every shot.
Brad,
I agree with your opinion at the start of this thread. Good groups at the range don't help much when you're out of breath and trying to get the crosshairs steadied up at 300 yards on an animal that only stops moving for a few seconds. I much prefer heavier rifles for all around hunting conditions and my kimbers are left to the days when carrying absolutely trumps shooting.
