RE: kimber vs. remington
I've got a Kimber 8400 Classic on my wish list for this year. With a daughter in college, though, I'm probably going to have to sell one of my other guns to make it happen.
I was curious about those "match grade" barrels and emailed Kimber. They sent me a nice reply stating that their barrels were button rifled. I was glad to hear that since the only hammer forged barrels I've had that are worth a darn are the Sakos.
