Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Kimber Quality

Dumb Don,

You forgot about Imaginary Pretend Ignore.

Again.

Laughing!.................

You stupid one track minded puzzy, no one's cluesless here...............you don't seem to be able to distinguish between being smart enough to stay away from that which causes angst & that which doesn't, so once again a resort no name calling.

I revel in the success of not being in the Kimber fold when MR's & Ti's do more that is required with ease & w/o the moaning.

Have a great day Fugghead.

Hang a pic of a Splendid Beastie you've Ti'd. It will be funny!

Didn't mean to upset your Estrogen Level so much,for you to yield a Hissy Fit.

PS and by the way you Clueless Phuqq..."cluesless" is HILARIOUS!

You are doing "great".

Laughing!................

What's the difference between spending $1,000 for a Kimber and tweaking it vs putting a handle on a Winnie, Remmie, Tikka or WTF else and doing the same? Other than the fact that a 24oz stock on those will run $600 and in the end you pay more for less......

Careful now...you are ruffling MontanaMam's feathers and she is a Vagenius. Laughing!

I doubt I've built much more than 60 Customs and probably in more than one contour,length,twist chambering,handle,etc. Am thinking pards have a few too.(grin)

If the Montucky had arrived first,The Herd would look a bunch different.

Hint...................

I've been following this thread as I have been strongly considering a Montana in 308. It's been disappointing because of all the crazy back and forth and insults. I'd like to just have a thread where we talk about the pros and cons of the Montana and hear from users with first hand experience. I was planning on a Forbes 20B in 308, and we all saw the epic thread about how bad Forbes was, so the Montana is my next option. Just trying to get good info before dropping $1300+ on a rifle.

What don't you understand? Point out the word(s) that were too big or too tricky.

You've been led to water.

Hint...............

It's impossible to get a thread like you describe.

People buy a $600 rifle, buy a $600 stock for it, bed it, tweak the trigger, etc and have a rifle that is still not as light, nor balance as well as the Kimber and they are happy with it. These same people buy a $1200 Kimber brand new, shoot it a few times and won't take the 15-30 minutes required to check/correct whatever minor ailments the Kimber might have, declaring "For $1200 it should be perfect".

The people that recognize the value of the Kimber package as delivered are happy to spend the few extra minutes to make their rifle's shoot. They are generally perplexed that someone would happily pay the same for a rifle that's not as good, add in at least as much time checking/tweaking and declare the rifle that's the same price for less the better value.

If you're going to get your undies in a bunch because you pay $1200 for a new rifle and it's not perfect as received, the Kimber probably isn't for you. If you can recognize that being able to pick a rifle off the shelf that combines light weight, great balance and a great stock is a great value even if you have to spend 30 minutes tweaking it to make it perfect, then the Kimber is your huckleberry.

I've never not Started At The Start with every rifle I've had.

That includes more than (1) Make,chambering,contour and twist rate...if only for conversation.

I remain in the Business of buying "bad" Montuckys that "don't shoot".

Hint...................(grin)

There's always the idea that you could buy a (insert rifle here) and see WTF for yourself, without all the Internet reviews, campfire recommendations, Field and Stream articles, etc, etc. Its ok to chew your own food.

buncha folks keep testin the water ... over and over ... and never get in ...

I'm diggin' it.

FUNNY schit!..............

I had my montana 308 devcon bedded, even before I fired the first shot (same as every other factory rifle I've ever purchased); adjusted the trigger; bit of load development and not looked back since.
Great combination of light weight, handy size, crf, good trigger and plenty accurate for my needs.
It's one I'll be keeping.

Often interesting gun wares out of the box and extrapolate same.

Hint...............

If you are looking for a rifle with the weight and features of the Montana 84m then there isn't anything that comes close. If you just want a fairly light rifle that you won't have to do anything to but shoot, then you might be better off with a Tikka Superlight.

The Kimber is great if you don't mind checking things like action screw lengths and if a mag box is binding, or possibly skim bedding the action, and these things need to be done with any rifle, but if you are looking for perfection because of cost, it doesn't exist.

The Montucky is simply the most,for the least.

Nothing else comes close to connecting as many dots................

Awesome info. Never said I was looking for perfection out of the box. I appreciate the info, these are all things that are easy.

I think you would enjoy a Montana. I bought one earlier this year in 7mm-08 and in factory ammo. it liked some loads and some it did not. the ones it liked were right at or under an inch for 3 at 100 yards.

I'm just getting into reloading and looking forward to really getting a load worked up that it really loves.

I bought new because from all my web research, I decided that the newer ones might be a bit better in QC, and I wanted a warranty.

Does same apply to wood stocked classic selects? Might be awhile, but thats my next purchase. Just cant like a blind mag for some reason.
