It’s a good upgrade. The Kimber trigger is pretty good but I think the trigger tech is noticeably better.

I agree

Aluminum trigger guard, titanium bolt handle, NSX 2.5-10x42, Leupold backcountry rings.
An ounce or two over 8# all up with Ti XC mounted.
25” total barrel length with can on.

It may be better than a stock kimber trigger, but a jard spring installed in a adjusted stock trigger, has no equal. Almost as good as a jewell.

Stock kimber triggers also vary from gun to gun, sometimes by quite a bit.
