Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Kimber Hunter 6.5 problems

You guys are some snowflakes.

If you want me to take you serious then might I suggest learning to spell and using proper punctuation? Very difficult to read. But I get the idea of what you're trying to say. I didn't come back to a post 4 years ago, and now you're having the same problem I had and you're mad at me because I didn't update you about a problem that you didn't even know you were going to have until 4 years later and I'm the bad guy.

Ok. Got it.

I’m not mad bud!
At work and didn’t proof read my previous post, and auto correct on my phone can be a pain.
Anyways, I was just having similar issues, and wanted to hear what your final result was with the rifle or with Kimbers Costumer service.
From where I am sitting,
BSA was just busting your balls a bit. You you are the one that turned into the snow flake and got your feelers hurt.

Lol. It's the Internet. I'm far from mad.

Thanks. Initially, I just saw the first pic. You might also want to chuck a bronze brush on the end of a segment of breakdown cleaning rod into a cordless drill, wrap some extra fine steel wool around it, and give the chamber a polish, as well.

Sent those pics to kimber and they are saying those marks are normal with their mouser type action .
I told them I’m not happy or satisfied with this,
So he’s going to send the pics to his master gun smith and see if they can do A custom polish on the chamber.
Am I asking for too much or my expectations unrealistic?!

No, you aren't. The idea that you pay hundreds or thousands for a rifle that comes with known and apparently accepted defects is absurd. Same thing with CZ. If Kimber want a to make rifles, they should really *make* rifles.

A rifle with accepted defects is still a defective rifle to the buyer... By God.

I ran into an issue with a mis-machined receiver on an ascent. I caught it looking at the galded lugs on the bolt. Sent it in to Kimber. Same thing, said it was normal. Local smith took the barrel off and sent Kimber pics on my behalf. Said it was unsafe to shoot. Kimber then gave me a new gun. Up until the smith got involved, they wouldn’t do anything.

I’m a bad gambler already, I should have know not to play kimber roulette!
I’m just going to play nice and hope they come through and stand behind their product.

Kimber called me Today to provide me return shipping label.
I will be sending them the rifle over the weekend.
Happy to see they are standing behind their product.

Calm down mountain men! There is nothing ever wrong with a kimber rifle. They are perfect in every way.

According to some of campfire's most magnificent kimber fan-boys, the accuracy problem is how you're holding it........

haha,,, have had 4 kimbers now as easy to shoot off a bench as any other rifle I've owned. Chit so simple my granddaughter makes groups easy..
