Mel Forbes reputation speaks for itself,and Kimber is.....well......Kimber.
Worth $3k? To me it would be, because you can blow through $3k just trying to get one Kimber that performs the way you want.I know; I've tried.Likely, you will buy a NULA once and it will perform right away..
I would propose that perhaps the difference between the Kimber Montana and the Sako Carbonlite might also apply
