Kimber quality?
If they call it kimber roulette then I must be on what they call one hell of a roll.

Last I knew, Gander Mountain in Northwest Houston has a used 300WSM Montana for $900. But I suspect there's a reason why it's for sale They have some wonderful designs, but if you don't have to work on them, you will be lucky. That's true of pistols or rifles. edit to add, to be fair, the newer ones seem to have a better rep, so perhaps a new one will give you a better than even chance of being good.

People always want to tell their stories about bad Kimber experiences.
I've bought NIB model 700s and Model 70s that wouldn't function, right out of the box. Had to go back to the factory.
I guess that means Remingtons and Winchesters are crap. And before someone screams "$1200 rifles should be flawless," if you buy a $600 Remington or Winchester, you're gonna need to dump the stock and buy a real one anyway.
A wise man is frequently humbled.

I remember when you could pick up used Montanas around $900. Now people want near new prices for busted up sh#$t. Can we please stop waging such a successful campaign again the Montana haters? Please? Maybe the prices will go down on used. Hell, Can't we join the haters for awhile? Intentionally try to bust the used market and drive the price down?
Just a thought.
Never mind. I stand corrected...............(grin)

I treat ALL rifles the same...by Starting At The Start.(hint)
Most Self-Shucker issues are mag related,no matter who makes the Self-Shucker.

I've not run across a bad Kimber. I have run across a lot of folks who can't shoot a lightweight rifle.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I bought a Montana .243 a few years ago. Checked the usual suspects, mounted a scope shot it. No muss, no fuss.
Bought one in .223. Check it out, skimmed the bedding a scootch, took a little off the bottom of the mag well, mounted a scope, shot it. Shoots just fine.
Bought a Classic Select in .308, mounted a scope. Never shot it and probably never will. I bought it to look at and fondle. I think it is my youngest grandson's graduation present.
To the point, I'll just call it 2 for 2 in the win column.
