Friends, this has been a GREAT .22 rifle. YES, I shoot it and the rifle has been my go-to .22 for many, many years now. It is both beautiful and it shoots wonderfully. A Kimber of Oregon, sort of a one-of-a-kind with exibition +++ grade walnut; the grain and the fiddleback end-to-end on both sides is crazy. Anyway, I kind of like it. Hope you enjoy seeing my .22 rifle .... God Bless, Steve ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/P1000096_zpsts9dyoc0.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/P1000094_zpsi6fua6yw.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/P1000093_zpsopebtftp.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/P1000095_zpsuulamlyu.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/P1000097_zpsuhz1lxg8.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a180/dogzapper/P1000098_zpsfls9jhbs.jpg)

Yep, I made that out of an old rusty file thingie and soft-soldered it on. So far it ain't fallen off Seriously, KofO made a very, very limited Brownell Series, like Lenard Brownell. I got to meet Lenard and we spent most of two days together ... he was one heck of a great man and a true artist. After the series was finished, we had ONE Mannlicher bolt left and I high-graded this damnably killer piece of wood out. Later, we put this puppy together and it totally exceeded my expectations in every possible way. Steve

It shoots Mini-Mag HPs really well ... and I have a few cases of an OLD LOT (like 8-10 years old) of Winchester Power Points that are superbly accurate. In no wind, it shoots minute-of-gopher-head at 75-yards (or a little further) consistently. The recent lots of Winchester Power Points basically suck. Makes me feel good to have a stash. Stash be GOOD. Steve

Travis When I was a Montana farm-kid, I did gopher control on my grand-parent's farm east of Corvallis, Montana. Then, my armament was a Hamilton .22 (that my uncle earned by selling crappy garden seeds) and a Remington Rolling Block .32 Rimfire. For each gopher tail, I got a new Winchester .22 shell, so this led me to the sport of gopher fishing ... a hand-operated snare made of magneto wire. I love gopher hunting and it would be great to close out my hunting life killing a bazillion gophers. Not this year, though. Later this year, we're going on a little Catholic pilgrimage to Portugal (Fatima), Spain (Santiago de Compostela and other delights) and France (Lourdes). That will probably be our last pilgrimage ... and we've had many. Blessings, Your friend Steve
