I have messed around with a couple Kimbers that would not shoot over about 20 years. I think I started on Kimber in the mid 90's maybe and I've shot probably 40-50 of their rifles since then. One of my shooting buddies has about 10 himself.

During that same time frame I have messed around with countless other rifles that would not shoot well. Not every rifle shoots and all can be fixed I just think people that pay more expect more. What they do not realize is that small pencil thin barrels are not known for inherent accuracy. To me something like a Kimber Montana is a 3 shot group rifle. If I can get a 3 shot MOA group that's about as good as it will do. This is perfectly adequate for hunting. I've got a Kimber Sonora that will shoot with any custom rifle built that I bought used for no more than what you would pay for a Sendero.

There is no validity to the Argument - Buy a Tikka because it "shoots". Buy it because you like it...they do not shoot any better than anything else... some guns even less expensive. They are Beretta's cheap to manufacture rifle. Nothing more or less. No different than a Ruger American they are cut from the same cloth.... who can make the cheapest plastic gun that shoots well. Well..... Ruger but if you want to pay more you can get the Tikka they at least take the time to contour the sharp plastic edges.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
