I don�t believe I�ve ever owned a factory production rifle that was perfect out of the box, and don�t really expect to.


I�m not saying Kimbers are �schitty�, just saying that I expect a $1500 rifle to shoot well out of the box with no additional modifications � regardless of the manufacturer�s name.

Most of my bolt rifles were purchased for under $500 and all will do MOA or better with the right ammo. Only tweaking on any of them was floating the barrel and tuning or adjusting the trigger, something I don�t mind a rifle in that price range.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
