Re: Kimber Government
Many of the 20,000 were never used. While in storage, they were inventoried. The idiots sliced thru the plastic bag with a box cutter and most of the new ones got scratched on the stock.
They did use a few and those apparently went to CMP as well. They have some really low prices on the used ones.
Nice rifles and you made a great snag there.
BTW, they all came with a set of palma type sights. Did yours have them?

Re: Kimber Government
I recieved mine and have never fired it, I got the right scope mount and put a nice loopy 4-12 vxII on it. the kicker is I am thinking about selling the rifle scope and peep sights.

Re: Kimber Government
Prom, here is a 50 yard open sight group shot by Hide member Ductape a week ago. That is a super accurate rifle at half the cost of many which won't shoot as good. You did good.

Re: Kimber Government
I picked one up at the cmp a few weeks ago and the rifle is great. I picked up one of the"rusty" kimbers which did not have any rust on it at all. Even the armorer at the cmp laughed at the rusty part it did have a light residue from the preservative that was on it but that was it. I payed 400 out the door with orginal box instructions palma sights and inserts and some tools for the gun.

Re: Kimber Government
Martin, that's the funny thing, he shoots "cheap" Wolf match not the high dollar TENEX, stuff like me. Actually I'm shooting Federal Ultra Match. Going to test ELEY Team next.

Re: Kimber Government
They don't come with the Redfield Palma model sight, but one made by some Australian company, if I recall correctly. They mount on a groove milled into the top of the receiver.

Re: Kimber Government
Very Nice Looking Kimber. Keep us posted on how it shoots. I have my first Kimber on the way, it should be in my possession next week. What power Leupold are you using? I have a 36x Leupold I'm planning on using.
