That's news, I'd call Kimber direct to find out.

Korth no longer imports Kimber firearms as there are no guns to import. The US market takes everything. The letter from Korth to their dealer network went out a couple of months ago.
 
There are no guns to import because Kimber is moving their plan out of new york and they aren't producing new rifles yet. The US is seeing a shortage as well.

I guess Kimber will be relocated in Troy, Alabama. They did not state their regard leaving New York, however they did mention that Alabama has great engineer institutions and are gun friendly. I like the Kimber rifle, they are well put together and appealing to the eye, however, I wish that their barrels were a little more robust and longer. There really isn't to much negative to say about Kimber. Wishing the OP the best of luck, if he has an issue.............maybe a trip to the local gunsmith.

They shoot extremely well for lightweight mountain rifles...took my 6.5 Creedmoor Montana out last evening and shot a 3 inch group at 600 yards .

I've have rifles from the Troy AL plant. Bought them 2years ago.... rifle production is down in favour of handguns. Higher prophet margin in a pistol
 
A Kimber rifle is something I haven't had;), yet but I do have one of their handguns. From their custom shop, I 'lucked into' the purchase of one of their custom shop specials made in Yonkers NY. A Kimber 45 ACP Super Match II with the 'trimmings'. Over the years, I've had a number of target level 45's for some formal paper punching, that include a couple of gunsmith made custom jobs along with the likes of a few Gold Cups. Without a doubt, this Kimber Super Match II, with its unbelievable trigger pull, is the smoothest and sweetest of all:d:d. If their rifles are of a similar quality level, they've got to be something else.
 
When I called Kimber they told me the above. I have a Montana I bought last year (with a 2019 manufacture date) and it was marked as Yonkers produced rifle. Maybe they had both plants running? who knows.

My rifle preference is about 9 pounds, all dressed-up with scope and bipod. The weight rally doesn't bother me, plus more fun to shoot at the range, less felt recoil. I will purchase another Kimber (owned two of them before), maybe they will manufacture some with the barrels I enjoy.
 
Word on my street (not many live on it) is to avoid kimber rifles now. If in the rare occurrence you need customer service or warranty you might be in for a long wait, possibly for nothing.

Add salt to my comment.
