About a year ago I was visiting an uncle out of state and he showed me his Kimber bolt action rifle in 22-250. I forget the exact model name. I thought it was a pretty nice rifle. It shot well.
Thus, at the beginning part of this year I placed an order for a Kimber in 7 mm-08, one of my favorite rounds for local deer hunting. The dealer had it listed as back ordered without a specific eta.
Coming up on 6 months now. I contacted the dealer, no word from them. I contacted Kimber directly. They were quick to respond but basically said they wouldn't even give a rough ballpark estimate as to how long it would take for that rifle to show up.
I don't mind waiting for a good product. However there has to be a relationship between how long the wait is and how great the product is. While I thought my uncle's rifle was good, I wouldn't want to wait 12 months or longer for something like that.
Wanted to see what other people's experience with Kimber rifles was. Feel free to talk not just about ordering, Etc but as well as the overall experience with the firearm.
