Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Kimber 1" accuracy gaurantee

I guess in JG's defense, Texas is flat and they sit in recliners that someone hoisted up into a box blind. I would probably think Kimbers were dumb if I hunted over a corn feeder too.

Here is my tikka T3 lite 30-06. Stock is painted and foam filled($25 total), makes a big improvement in my opinion. Some see value in price, some are more prone to look at performance. It's a personal preference and neither of which is wrong. This gun easily shoots sub moa, is lite just like the name and the action is the slickest I've ever run. For the extra pound I have no reason to part with the extra $600 bucks because it performs very very well. I am sure a kimber is fantastic but the difference in any actual measurable performance is minimal if at all , the rest is preference. We might as well argue who's better blondes or brunettes.

I have both Kimbers and Tikkas. Love them all. None of them are original as supplied out of the box. If I'm hunting on foot, I usually grab a Kimber for its light weight, resistance to elements and the added safety of the 3 position. If I'm hunting in or on stand, I'm more likely to use a Tikka.

How did you know? These mule deer flock to corn like you do to dumbassery.

I only have the one, but the trigger on my Kimber 8400M is the best trigger I've personally ever used, to include Jewell and Timney CE and worked on Walker M700's...... I just love it. I've got it set really light right now for the purpose of chasing down flyers from prone, maybe even a bit lighter than I'll hunt with this fall but for now, it's killer.... I'd be surprised if it's over a pound. Like a wee little glass rod breaking, and the same blessed wee little rod every time. If I could retrofit this trigger into my M700's for $250 I'd do every one of them.

They get less chatter, and nobody will ever call them slender, but the WSM Montana's are nice rifles. Mine is a 7 WSM currently so it's basically a really light 7-mag. A guy can do a lot with a light 7-mag. Combined with an excellent stock and superb trigger, all that's left is having a barrel that shoots, and that can be arranged without too much trouble.

To truly get full potential from such a rifle is non-trivial, though that's partly because the potential is so sky-high <g>..... It will show you your ass. Great platform to train with, though, as heavier rifles are then a breeze to shoot well. As always, light rifle, light trigger.

The new Open Country is interesting! A new CF/Kevlar Kimber stock.... with a bigger barrel channel.... oh my...

I would never throw rocks at the Kimber, as I have no experience with them. I just really like my Tikkas.
