A good trigger is half the accuracy battle with production rifles and I have never shot any rifle with a better trigger than this Kimber! The bedding is not great. You don’t feel it move, it just goes off. I just found another one on the Internet for $250 last night. It is the perfect scope for old eyes and tiny targets on a budget. I mounted a Leupold 4x12AO on the Kimber and was off to the range. 223 shoot half-inch groups at 100 yards and my other 22LR and 22Mag shoot less that half-inch groups at 50 yards with the ammo it likes. I had no doubt that either rifle would be very accurate. If any of you readers can shed more light on the history of the rifle, please e-mail me and I will add your comments to the report. It has no suffix letter after the model number and the Kimber of Oregon, Clackamas, Oregon barrel stamp. My M82 appears to be a first-run production. I liked the stock better with the more appealing walnut and the checkered steel butt plate. The new Kimber 22 was $850 and the used rifle was $725 complete with Kimber rings and a Japanese 4X scope. The older gun was about 99% condition and $125 less than the new one. I chose the used rifle for a couple of reasons. I walked into my local gun shop to look at the new production Kimber of America 22 rifle and found that they had one new Kimber 22, and one used Kimber M82 22LR hidden in the back of the store.
