First off, as a "newbie" to the AR forum, this is a great site. Good feedback, well run, quality folks across the board.
Kimber came through. Barry Vanderstouw Kimber's "rifle specialist" out of Montana called. Reviewed the problem, sent a RA with prepaid shipping & insurance for the gun,optics & mounts. Will look at it personally at his shop. Can't ask for more.
Thanks again!
