Kimber CS is a total joke... They think a bolt should drop closed on a no-go gauge... and a mere 0.100" extra in chamber depth is okay....


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

I thought Kimber was a premium rifle brand. This entire story sounds bad, very bad......and not just one person with issues.

I suppose they need to slow down and maintain some quality control. I don't think they are made in China, are they?

The motto in China is "just good enough" to get it out the door.

Huh.
The pictures he posted sure didn’t look like groups representative of a rifle I’d kick out of bed for eating crackers ... but I’ll grant they weren’t up to BSA standards.

I've got a Remington 700 rebarreled with a takeoff factory .308 24R bbl. I picked the barrel up cheap on here from prariegoat. It's an absolute tack driver, but it's got a chamber that produces fired brass marked with it's particular chamber irregularities, much like the OP's. It's one of several 308's in the safe. I never need to worry about keeping track of which brass came from that rifle.
