Re: Kimber Government

The Government request 20,000 to be made for the marines and the army, thats way Kimber stamp Model 82 government....

Re: Kimber Government

but why did so many wind up at cmp sales and gun shops?

 

[prom93]

Re: Kimber Government

No idea, but im happy it was that way, so we can enjoy a fine rifle...

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?

 

[prom93]

Re: Kimber Government

No,was extra $$$ for the peed sights, and im plannig for scoped any way...

 

[DAFAR]

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

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.

 

[prom93]

Re: Kimber Government

Wow, now i cant wait.....i will try many types of ammo, but can you tell me what brand he shoots...thanks Martin

 

[chrisdx3]

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.

 

[prom93]

Re: Kimber Government

Great info, i will order some of that for my test, thanks

Re: Kimber Government

Gorgeous rifle. I love that stock.

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.

 

[prom93]

Re: Kimber Government

Correct they are made in Australia....and a update pic

 

[prom93]

Re: Kimber Government

Well this is a update pic, with the leupold.....
