Seeing all these nice Kimbers ticks me off. I had a nice Kimber Hunter that would string 5 shots, regardless of ammo, in a line about 5" wide. Sent it back to Kimber, they re-crowned and replaced the bolt. Said the bolt was defective. Took it out and it improved to 3" horizontal strings. Tried about 20 different types of ammo with it and no bueno. No longer own a Kimber.
Buddy had I think what was called a Kimber Classic? Beautiful wood and matte finish. Absolute laser beam with just about any .22 ammo you put into it. Argh!
