Never owned a Kimber because im a lefty and dont want any more right handed rifles, but if i were right handed=eye dominant id own several.

One to look for is the Ruger compact magnum rifle. These have a 20" barrel, perfect proportions and did come in the RCM cartridges and also 308 win. This is the best bolt action Ruger ever made IMO. Ive got a left hand specimen in 338RCM and it really is my favorite rifle by a wide margin. Id love to find one in 308 win to go with my 338 but i do have the Ruger scout rifle as well and i like it too.

Good luck with your search for a controll feed rifle. I fully understand why a person would go that route and in bolt actions ive gone that way myself but its been difficult because of left handedness disease.
