Re: Kimber Caprivi

I believe Finn Aagaard reviewed an early Kimber .416 about 15 years ago {or more...?}. IIRC he did note that the front sight blew off the rifle early on in the testing as the sight screw holes had been drilled clean through to the bore. He was not pleased.

The thing that was funny about that to me was that it parallelled an experience I had when selling guns. A fellow came in with the same problem. He had his Browning BAR rebored/rechambered to 9.3x62 and no one stopped to think that the front sight holes might just have been fine in the .30-06 but a wee bit deep for .366...

Regardless, it should be noted that all modern US newsstand gun rags are sales slicks for the manufacturers. I find no problem with this unless they purport to be non-interested third party observers which of course they aren't.
