Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles kimber rifle lost favor on the fire?

My Kimber experience is fairly limited compared to most of you guys. I still have a Kimber of Oregon 223 that I'll never part with, but understand this discussion is related to the current Yonkers rifles. Of those, I had an 8400 300 WM with a misaligned firing pin hole in the bolt face - after the first couple of rounds through it, I started getting misfires. Bolt disassembly revealed a bent firing pin and the shop I bought it from offered me a refund so I took them up on it rather then send it back to Kimber.

More recently, I found a used Classic in 325 WSM that I bought mainly because of the price which included a Leupy 4.5-14 I wanted for another rifle. For what I paid, I could have rebarreled to 7 WSM for not much more than the price of a new one which was where I was going with it. Of course I had to shoot it first - I couldn't get 200 Accubonds to shoot, but three different flat base bullets seem to do very well - consistently sub MOA. It's kind of growing on me as is...
