Quite simply at the price of the Kimber you have expectations that it should perform better than that or that they should stand behind it and repair it. Even if it is a bedding issue you would be enabling them to continue producing a poor product if you fix it yourself. As long as folks continue fixing their screw-ups they have no incentive to be sure that they are right when they are shipped. There are so many things wrong with it that it should never have left the shop.
Why buy an $1100 Kimber to have to work on it, if you need a project rifle buy a Walmart $300 Rem 700.
