I'm not through tuning my 7mm-08 Montana, and just picked up a Classic Select in .257 Roberts. I appreciate all the shared wisdom here on the Campfire.

I collect Ruger Number Ones - that have interesting reputations of their own, as far as accuracy. In a way, I suspect Kimbers are sorta like #1's. You have to hold your mouth just right, or adjust the bedding tighter, or looser, or float the barrel, or not, or a tighter hold, or looser, or lighter bullets, or heavier, or...or...etc, etc smirk

But I have a suspicion Kimbers may be like #1's - just get a good barrel and they suddenly become a lot less fussy. smirk
