I bought a .300WSM Montana a few weeks ago. Out of the box it needed a trigger job and the bolt was sticking a bit. After I got those taken care of I took it to the range for barrel break-in. Accuracy was about 1.375" with factory ammo during my break-in shooting. I consider that pretty good for the first day. However, the rifle won't feed cartridges from the magazine - period. After reading quite a bit on line, I discovered that this is a common problem with the Kimbers. I have considered my options and plan on showing it to my gunsmith this Saturday. He is a great "smith" & if he thinks he can fix it I'm going to leave it with him.

I am confident that I can get this gun working good. When I do get it fixed I will be working up some handloads this winter. I plan on using it for dall sheep next August. Even after these initial problems, I believe that I will still be happy I bought it. I will let you know what my gunsmith says.
