Default RE: KIMBER: MONTANA???

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.
You have a LOT more patience than i do, i'd demand my money back and that would be the end of that rifle!

A cheap rifle out of the box should need nothing more than "maybe" a trigger job, let alone anupscale priced rifle!!Your'sshould need NOTHING out of the box, let alone paying even more to your smith to get it right!
