I own a Weatherby Athena Grade III in 20 ga. and it handles and functions very well. I've also shouldered the new Weatherby S/S and it handles OK but the forearm is almost square shaped that I didn't care for. The Ruger I've handled and like it was said before it's too much money for his gun. I also owned Ruger O/U's but don't anymore. As far as Kimber is concerned I've never handled one but A LOT of nice shotguns out there for the same money or less!
