You can't tell me that in all of Kimberland they can't come up with a stainless steel trigger guard. I don't know what happened to Kimber in 2016, but they have decided to cheapen their rifles. If the trigger guard was polished aluminum I might be OK with it. However the new ones have a glossy paint on them that makes it look almost white. Who would want a glossy white trigger guard on a stainless steel rifle. I have two 84 Kimbers that all match from barrel, action, bolt, receiver, and trigger guard. If you know what happened in 2016 with Kimber, I would appreciate you educating me. I went on line to some gun site's (gun broker, guns America) and I saw that a few of them, some used, some called new old stock, and just about all of them mentioned 2016 and earlier. Looking back, I should have bought one of those, but there were only a couple in 280 Ackley, which was the caliber I wanted.
I bought a gun thinking it would be like my other Kimbers, and it sure is not. Have you ever heard of paint? Other than the stuff your sniffing.
Camp is where you make it.

Kimber's been using aluminum trigger guards for a good while now......
That being said.....their CS may be in Montana but they still have NY altitudes.

I must be a poor rifleman, but I like the newer Kimber rifles more than the older ones.
But shouldn't it be in a description somewhere what the parts are made of?
If you dislike like the rifle so much, I would cough up 700 bucks and take your problem.

Threads like these are one of the big reasons I would never buy a Kimber. No I have never owned one, and I don't play roulette.

Through the years I have owned four of the Kimber Montana rifles. I guess I am a slow learner. Anyway,
they ranged from maybe OK to oh my God. Never again.

I am scared to try one. At their price point there should rarely ever be a bad one.

I've never had or seen an all-day, .5inch, if I do my part Kimber. Even one with a stainless steel trigger. Yet it is common here with other manufacturers. For the price they charge???? Then they have the nerve to go aluminum on the trigger guard. With a proclaimed LW rifle to boot.
