I purchased an 8400 this summer in .300WSM and was extremely pleased with the finish of the rifle. I didn't go the conventional route breaking in the barrel but rather used the David Tubb Final Finish Bore Polishing System. I used only the last three grades of bullets rather than the whole system because the Kimber barrels are supposed to be be good to begin with. I took a box of factory rounds and four different handloads to the range and had nothing larger than a 3/4" 3-shot group at 100 yds. Smallest group was with Barnes XLC bullets and was practically one hole. The trigger is excellent at about 3 lbs., great recoil pad and a nice piece of wood. I've taken three animals with it this fall and the combination of the gun and bullet has performed flawlessly. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one. Good luck.
