RE: views on a kimber 308

Kimber builds a lot of quality into their guns...and then they turn around and forget/screw up the DUMBEST things. Their QC is erratic at best.

RE: 6.5-06 or 264-win mag?

What they aren't telling you about the 264mag is that to get this extra bit of velocity you are going to use a LOT more powder per shot AND you need to go with 26" bbl. The .264 pretty much died out...
