I like mine (7 WSM). My sample of one has a superb trigger, after the obligatory 15 minute kitchen table tuneup. In fact it’s my all-time favorite hunting rifle trigger, better than Jewell, Timney CE, worked-on M700 Walker triggers... I wish I could drop that trigger into all my non-Kimber rifles. Running it just over 2 lbs.
Define wrong. Kimber roulette isn't a thing? I coined the term outta thin air? You Kimber fanboys are something else.
Well, you didn't coin it out of thin air, I coined it here probably around 2007, maybe before. Funny as hell when I still come across it bandied about all over the internet.
FWIW, the ""Kimber Roulette" remark I made was only about feed issues some early Montanas had. They redesigned the feed rails somewhere between SN 21XXX (last one I had with the issue) and 25XXX (added the cut in the forward part of the rail). I've never come across any feed issues on any Kimber post 25K. As far as issues people have with accuracy, all I can say is I've never have had one that wouldn't shoot - really well. My 25XXX is still my favorite bolt rifle and has killed more stuff than I can remember.
So, feed issues long ago resolved, never have seen an accuracy issue, I officially retract "Kimber Roulette".
I picked a NIB 30-06 Subalpine last summer. I mounted a Vortex Razor scope in Talley LW's, grabbed a couple of boxes of 165 gr PPU SP's and headed to the range. Sight in was quick and the rifle liked the inexpensive ammo pretty well grouping right around an inch or so. The combo worked fine last week.
I really like my Hunter, light, accurate. The safety is the only negative. Works fine, but stiffer than hell. I’m pushing retirement age and really like my 6.5 lb set up.

Nice setup, but I think you need to check your scale for accuracy. A Subalpine 30-06 has a listed weight of 5lb-10oz, the scope is listed as 13.5oz and the Talley lightweight may add another 3oz or so. The weight should be closer to 6lb-10oz.
Kimber is good enough I will not order them for people, period. 34 of the last 35 I ran through my books dumped them inside of 18 months. Great deals did not turn into great guns.
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
