Ok, my take on it, the kimbers built by kimber of oregon were semi custom rifles, shot great and handeled nice. When kimber or oregon went under, the head smith started his own company, and took alot of the staff of kimber with him, and to this day he still builds great rifles.
Kimber of yonkers New York, are just building production rifles at semi-custom prices by clinging to the kimber name.
Oh the head smith at Kimber of Oregon was none other than Dan Cooper, yep the head of Cooper firearms.
