sorry for you loss as well 7, at least the rifle will be your "link" in the woods too your brother. I would even have his initials or image engraved on it if it were mine. My brother lost an infant son and had a new rifle engraved on the floorplate with his sons initials. It really is a neat gesture. That was his ONLY son and sometimes he just has a morning or afternoon afield with just "him and his son".

Kimber is as good as it gets. I have several Remingtons and only one that came from their Custom Shop is even comparable too a stock 84/8400M Kimber.
