I purchased a Kimber 8400 in 30-06 last week and put a VXIII on it. I really like this rifle. It is light and handles great. I used three brands of ammo in 150 and 165 grains. All of them fired around one inche at 100 yards. Most under an inch. If you have thought about a kimber go for it. I am not getting rid of my other rifles but I dont plan on using them this year. This one gets all my attention this season.
