Ditto on the Talley's. The Kimber I got is a .308 with nice wood. It's very light weight and shoots well. No complaints what-so-ever.

My first kimber 84m was a 7-08 an older model with the 2 position safety. It had a nice piece of wood on it and had been sitting on the rack at a gunstore about 60 miles from the house, I really didn't examine it closely. When I got home I found the inletting around the trigger guard a bit sloppy and the barrel was almost touching the wood on the left side of the inlet. Mounted a 2.5-8x36 VX-III on it and shot a deer in Bama with it 2 months later. I then sent it into Kimber to change the 2 position safety to a 3 position safety and complained about the inletting. Gun came back in 2 weeks and the only thing that remained from the original was the barrel,action and the bolt body. Everything else had been replaced(Bolt Shroud,Handle,Firing pin, bottom metal) and they put a select grade stock on it to boot. Sold it for what I had in it to someone on Gunbroker and now wish I had not done it.
