I also recently handled one of the new Kimber Hunters and it was a let-down, a rifle in this price range should never have a molded in trigger guard....it just aint right, it made the overall rifle reek of cheapness, all i could see was that ugly molded in trigger guard, the magazine didnt bother me at all, i actually like it better than any blind magazine rifle....If Kimber builds the Hunter rifle with an aluminum trigger guard I would consider one........Hb
