I will admit it will be hard for me to move away from wood/blued rifles as that is all I have ever known but I am trying to consider function over aesthetics and think of the rifle more as a tool than anything. I think the Kimber probably has the advantage with me because I am more familiar with it as my brother used to own an 84m in 308 and I loved everything about it.

On the other hand I have read as many good reviews as bad on the Kimbers which makes me weary. If I were to go with the Kimber I would be hard pressed not to get a blued rifle though, they are beautiful. Do your Kimbers perform well as far as accuracy? Anything more than 3" @ 300 yrds would be less than satisfactory for me, I couldn't care less how it groups further than that.
