I never understood people justifying poor performance from a rifle by stating it isn't a bench gun, it is a hunting rifle.
A Kimber isn't cheap. If you want a gun that only shoots ok, then get a Remington 710 and save your money.
Who was justifying poor performance?
If all you want to do is shoot paper, then build a paper shooting gun. I could give a flying rat's ass what a hunting rifle will do on paper, within reason. If I knew this rifle retained zero, right now I would carry it hunting any game for which it's suited, and not bat an eye.
A hunting rifle needs a certain set of parameters to perform well, intrinsic accuracy is about 4th or 5th on the list.
