[Ol` Joe]

Which Kimber type are you interested in? I`ve both a 1911 CT and a M84m in 260 Rem.
The handgun has been around quite a while, it`s a series 1 model and has never bobbled on anything I`ve fed it, 4-5000 rds min. The guns fine on 200gr LSWC, 185JHPs and hardball. The gun`s more accurate then I am -not hard to be- and is keeper.

The rifle was of very early manufacture for the cartridge it`s chambered in, I think I recieved it in Nov. 02. Kimber brought out the rifle in stages starting with the 308 then with each cartridge added as they got ramped up on the last. The bolt travel was quite rough and had some binding. I sent it back to Kimber with a note and had it back within less then a week, bolt smoothed out and binding taken care of. I don`t know about others but their customer sevice was very good IMO. I`ve since played with the newer rifles on the shelfs and the bolts have ALL been much better then the first couple of production runs. The feeding has been a problem I`ve read about for some, but mine hasn`t shown any quirks in this area.

The accuracy of mine is in the sub MOA range with proper 100, 120 , and 140 gr reloads for 5 rds @100yds. The Rifle has a fantastic trigger right from the box, very crisp and set around 3# with no over travel. They are pillar bedded, bbl floated, and lug area glassed from the factory with a nice piece of wood attached. All in all I`m happy with mine. I`ve been waiting for Kimber to come out with a long action version to match, and plan on getting one if they do.
