I love Kimber rifles and own three of them. For the price, I think they are one of the nicest "classic" American rifles available. I own two "Classic Select Grade" Kimbers - one in 30-06 and one in 257 Roberts. Both of mine are finicky - the 30-06 shoots Federal Factory 180 grain Partitions to just outside an inch (4 shot groups), while I haven't found anything the 257 Roberts will shoot better than 1.5". They are both factory bedded very nicely but the barrels aren't free floated, so I'm going to have that rectified and see if that improves my results. I've tried lots of different combos of powders and bullets and haven't been able to achieve MOA accuracy from either, though the 30-06 is close with 180 Accubonds. The thin barrel profiles definitely heat up pretty quickly at range sessions in the Georgia summer.
I also have a Caprivi in 416 RM that's newly acquired in 2020 - from our very own @Philip Glass. The stock has been in Maryland getting the Edwards Recoil Reducer treatment and was only recently returned. It's ready for it's maiden range session which I may get to this weekend. Weighs in including the recoil reducers at 10 lbs 9 oz with Talleys and a Leupold VX6 1-6x24. Pictures of all below.
