kimber of oregon model 82 serial numbers

22' rifles have the Side Bolt Release and wing-type safety. That is the 'Hunter Silhouette', or 'HS' model of 'Kimber. Post a photo and I'll probably be able to tell you the specific model of your 'Kimber. 22' is the name given to all of the New York Kimber. Your rifle was manufactured in Yonkers, New York by 'Kimber America' (the same Kimber that makes 1911s'). It would be very cool if it was made in Oregon! Also it ia about 5-6 years old and I am pretty sure it is made by the currently existing Kimber. I didn't see a place of manufacture on it but I will definitely give it a good look when I get home. Very cool story!!!! I may have to enter a competition with mine, unfortunately around here there isn't a hell of alot of long range shooting, and I really like th kimbr it is definitely my favorite gun that I own.įortunately Kimbers have a good rep.especially the expensive ones from a long while ago.Ĭheck out TOP PREDATOR's 'stickys' at the top of the rimfire forum.lots of good info on how to improve your rimfire shooting. the early ones would shoot Needless to say he never bragged about his rifle around me anymore. I shot each number in each ring right out of the target. I shot against a bragging man at one of our silhouette shoots that had a Remington 40X and said that his rifle was the best yada yada yada so for grins we set 22 targets up at 20 yards marked with an X in the center and a number 10 under it in 1/8 inch letters and proceeded 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2 and 1 going out from the center we each took 10 shots and with his 40 X he had a nice little group in the center and when he looked at mine through his scope he said I had missed the target, I told the range boy to bring it up, the boy that brought it back was just smiling.
