I've read quite a few posts about 7mm-08 Kimbers having issues, taken with a grain of salt.
Rumor has it that Kimber had some bad 7mm barrels a few years ago. I was shopping for a Kimber at that time and the 7mm-08 seemed to have a reputation of being problematic compared to the other chamberings.
Then Kimber dropped the 7mm-08 for awhile. It came back after a hiatus. A member here said that the Kimber reps at one of the Shot Shows said that they had problems with the 7mm barrels and wouldn't release the 7mm-08 until the problems were fixed.
I have a 7mm-08 that was made early last year. Its a great hunting rifle and I've gotten spoiled by the light weight.
