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.

Only buy the 270 wsm if you don't like tracking!;) I owned a 270 wsm until my boy talked me out of it, he has shot two deer, and an antelope with it and none of them has gone further than 20 yards!!!! And the 20 yard dasher was leaving a blood trail 2 foot wide. Heck a blind man could track it!

Second to none as a deer pulverizer and meat destroyer. I thought the 7 Rem mag at 30 yards was bad
