Here is my original quote "Similar to the original Kimber 82's in quality."

By originlal Kimber 82's I mean the Oregon model's. It sounds like you know a good bit about the Nosler's.Actually a good bit more than I do. My comment was merely on the asthetics of the rifle. I would have to say the Nosler was of a lower quality(asthetically) than the original Kimber's.

I do have one of the newer Kimber Long Master Classic's, as well as my older 82's. I will agree that the older Kimber's are a better quality rifle. But I can find nothing wrongwith the newer ones But then I paid more for my older 82's than I paid for the new Long Master Classic. Tom.
