Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Accuracy on Kimber Mountain Ascent?

100% agree

10/4,the green one is Sister's...but she likes to shoot mine and who am I to say "no"?!?

The Dude will scratch an eye outta your head,if you go to pinch the Rocktucky from him. Again...who am I to say "no"?!?

I just stay outta the way.(grin)

The only time everything is "equal",is when it's setting on the shelf in it's wrapper.

Funny how things change,via actual use.(grin)

I'd welcome a run of S/S follower springs,for every rifle I've got and that'd require more than (1) spring production run.(grin)

Well it's for the children!

Who are we to deny the little boogers!

I'm forced to slum the blue Samtucky...which assuredly ain't a bad place to be.

I can see it gettin' famous.(grin)

What's not so strange is most everyone that's borrowed or had trigger time with one of my Kimbers either now owns one or are compiling the funds to purchase one.

A pard the other day,ordered (4). Another pard took delivery of a 223 'tuicky the other day and the first pitch(moly 50'Max kissin',Virgin W/W hulls and 10X)...went in the .2's for him.

You'd think that'd be tough to like,from a 5.5lb S/S Workhorse of a rifle,but it ain't.(grin)

Hopefully they let you tote some rounds with primers in'em and not the crash test dummies in that pic!

I've never not been happy,to let someone else have the first poke.

I ain't greedy...and like movers.(grin)

Same here.

Boxer on your montuckys, do you adjust the triggers?

$10k or so in tooling and you could have 1200-1500 springs per hour...but I'll look into it. Didn't even notice the mag spring when I had my Montana apart. SS material shouldn't be that hard to get, but I'll have to see what is feasible for small volumes as far as forming it.

Yep I know of 3 of my friends that bought one after picking up my little .308.

I've heard of Melvin. Had one of his rifles that had to be sent back for several issues, including an improperly attached bolt handle and an out of spec chamber. He took care of it and I'm not going to bitch even though I spent a good bit of money sending it back to him more than once. There's no such thing as a perfect rifle, but my Kimbers have been worth the little bit of work I've put into them, like skim bedding, needed or not as the case may be. OK, you've had one that wouldn't shoot for you and [bleep] customer service. As I've said elsewhere, I've shot a lot more than one, and have yet to pull the trigger on one that didn't shoot.

And as for customer service, ever deal with Remington? And I can only wish my Remingtons would shoot as well "out of the box" as have the Kimbers.

Let it go...

Of course,a great rifle MUST have a great trigger.

The Montucky trigger shoe is wide/generous and due to mechanical design,they easily adjust down crisply,with zero creep.

They've got it all and then some.

I've boken alotta follower springs in my time,but that was the first one to snap into (3) pieces.

It's currently The Record,though they ain't settin' idle.(grin)

SquatToPee is beyond [bleep] clueless and Kimber cain't be faulted,for an inability to provide the stupid [bleep] IQ points. Of course,no other Manufacturer can either,besides her folks.

Just sayin'.

Good tip, I will watch for it next trip - though like I say, when the barrel warms up it starts stacking them. [/quote]

If it stacks em when the barrel warms up you most likely need a seating depth adjustment and it'll fix your cold bore problem.


Shod

The dumb SOB is damn lucky he survived and didn't get eaten by the lions. Everyone knows Kimbers are dog sheit and don't feed/extract properly, let alone shoot straight... he was pushing his luck and tempting fate!
