Anyone have any experience with Kimber rifles? They seem to be fairly well thought of and seem to offer a reasonable value for the money. Saw a .300 in subalpine camo yesterday at a gun / archery shop I was shooting at and it's got me thinking....

I have a kimber 84m. It is a .204 ruger and it shoots excellent. Very pleased with it. I had been wanting a .204 and stooped at a gun shop to get my hunting license and left with it, I then started reading about them and got worried that it would not shoot good. When I got the scope mounted and started shooting I was very happy

I will say that lightweight rigs are harder to shoot accurately than their heavier counterparts, especially off a bench.

I have a 84m Longmaster Classic in 308. It has a very nice walnut stock and a heavy stainless fluted barrel. Excellent fit and finish. It will also shoot one hole (.5"-.75") five shot groups day in and day out with a stout load pushing 165 gr Sierra game kings. I love that rifle. I ordered it new about 5 years ago.
I have heard of many Kimber quality control issues in years past, but I believe they have gotten better.
I have no experience with their light weight rifles, but I think many Kimber accuracy complaints come from people who cannot shoot their lightweight rifles well.

I've got a Stainless Select 84m in .25-06 and an Adirondack in 7mm-08 that I shoot suppressed.
Both are fantastic rifles all around.
They have a sub-MOA guarantee, and I haven't heard what the resolution was on any accuracy issues that were raised with Kimber. I haven't had any issues with my rifles, but their customer service has been great for other things.
