Show me a $1,200 custom....
I do know $1,200 will get you a rifle that shoots better
than the targets from the post #1, above.
The Weatherby Vanguard S2 guarantees SUB-MOA out of the box.
That means .99" at 100 yds.
Mine in 25-06 does that very well. For under $500.
It seems the Kimber here does not do that.
That is why he should send it back.
