Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Brand New Kimber Hunter Extractor problems

I picked this rifle up yesterday.....brand

Put a scope on it and decided to see if my loaded rounds would chamber.

They do......but this new un-fired Kimber will be going back on Monday

Welcome to the "Kimber Roulette" wheel, I hope you have better luck with Kimber CS than I did....however I picked up a Kimber 8400 select at a LGS lately that looked so good it got me maybe ready to have another spin, so far Im 1 for 2 at the wheel...lol....Hb

Wow... Good thing they don't make lefties, no temptation to play the lottery that way.

Is that a magnum extractor?

I'm betting it was bent durring the proofing

Do you have a face on picture of both bolts side by side?

I had a brand new Montana that would not even chamber a factory round in it, had to send it back., they "fixed" it but the thing still had issues... But if you listen to everyone here on the fire, they are the "gods" of gun makers... and if anyone thinks otherwise they are stupid when it comes to guns.... Oh... and the 45 that my friend had jammed horribly. Called them, they said they had issues with some of THEIR magazines that came with that gun... but they would not replace them...

Funny thing is all the Kimber lovers here will never admit the problems with so many of the guns they sell that should have never passed quality assurance...

Save time and just get it fixed by a Smith if you can't do it yourself.
[bleep] Kimber's customer service. They rival the federal government
when it comes to incompetence and lack of accountability.

Hornady brass! We have sighted the enemy and sank same. Happy Trails

On a Sunnier note Ted, is your Ruger American Predator still rockin' along?..

Mauser claws are pretty easy to remove and tune.

A quick Google search will explain it better than I can.

Yes it shoots pretty darn good

Nope

With Barrett, Tikka, Sauer, etc. these days, I'm not sure who would want to deal with a Kimber unless you have time to screw around rather than shoot...

That sucks! I’m a big Kimber fan but they need to up their QC if they don’t want to alienate too many customers........

Ted’s a good buddy of mine. We spun the roulette wheel together. I got the same gun the day before he did. Mine is a shootin’ sumbeech and had little trouble reaching sub MOA. This isn’t Ted’s first rodeo with Kimber. He has had several, most being sub par. He obviously wants to really love Kimbers and has given them way more chances than any company deserves. I’ve owned 3 of them all being great guns. When they get it right, you can’t beat them. It sucks how often they get it wrong though.

I love my new Kimber Hunter but doubt I could recommend one to anybody without the caveat that your new gun may very well suck.

Kimber Roulette at its finest..

Too late.

I'd receive one, say as a Christmas gift, in hopes it functioned...but I'd not spend for the purpose of enabling poor QC.

I'm sorry you're having issues Ted. Hope it gets worked out and proves to be a shooter.

That sucks. I recently purchased 2 montana's, first a 6.5 that works flawlessly and is very accurate.I bought another in 223 that function's as it should. I have had it to the range twice and appears it will shoot fine with the right load. I hope the resolve this issue for you with no hassle's.

Holy fhuqking schit...that's about the funniest thing I've ever seen. Can you make a video,of ALMOST being able to get a spoon inside a coffee cup?!? LAFFIN'!

It'd take less than 10 seconds to fix,if/when armed with an IQ of 13 points or greater and I heartily suggest you send it back for help.

WOW +P++!

Laffin'!

Be sure to include more installments,of things you can't do,as this schit is OFF the fhuqking charts HILARIOUS!

Few things funnier,than Stupid Fhuqkers being outwitted,by something as simplistic,as a gawddamned rifle.

EPIC Humor and thanks for the laugh this morning!

Bless your heart.

Problems with a Kimber rifle?

I'm shocked....
