I bought a new Kimber 84M in .260 Remington a little over 2 years ago. It won't shoot anything I feed it less than minute of pie pan! Doesn't matter. Handloads, factory stuff - averge off the shelf or top drawer premium stuff. Same results. Print two close, scatter three.
Not being a happy camper, I called Kimber and they said "Send it back to us with a sample target and ammo recipe." Not too tough. I have hundreds to choose from. :banghead:
They indicated I could send it U.S. Mail, UPS or FedEx without an FFL and it would come back the same way, too. A gun-type cooworker suggested FedEx overnight as there would be less chance of funny business as it would get handled less. I'm not real fond of sending anything of value through any of these guys. The last time I sent some thing of value the drove a fork lift over it (literally - you could see the tire marks on the packaging) and blamed the damage on "improper packing practices". Needless to say, they refused to pay up eventhough I insured it! Maybe I should just take it ot the gunsmith for re-bedding?
Any of you folks that have done this with guns before have any advice?
Thanks in advance,
Waddison
