Just a heads-up for those that might be interested, and don't know how long they'll last. But I just got an E-mail from the CMP saying they have another batch of the U.S. Army's Kimber model 82 in 22LR! Phil __________ Kimber Model 82 .22LR Available. 20,000 of these rifles were produced for the US Army between 1987 and 1990. Most were sold by the CMP in the past few years, but CMP recently received the remaining 2,000 from Army inventory. Rifles are still in original manufacturer's packaging and have never been used, but many of the stocks, barrels, and receivers may have a few light scratches or razor cuts from when the protective bags were opened to conduct serial number inventory in the mid 90s. This is a minor cosmetic deficiency that detracts slightly from the appearance, but does not affect the functioning of the rifle. NLU is R22M82R and price is $425 + $24.95 S&H. For additional information, please visit http://www.thecmp.org/Sales/22targetsurplus.htm.

Fgold767: I just checked the site and they still have them - one model is sold out but the referenced model says they are for sale for $425.00. I have one of these and it is a Ground Squirrel killing machine! Wonderful trigger and a long heavy barrel to make shooting in the field easier. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

My family bought 4 of these 5 or 7 years ago. They are a fine shooting gun and a hell of a deal at this price, if you can get one..
They each had that maddening razor mark down the side of the stock tho, How hard is it to be a little more careful opening the wrap??!!
Although he was by no means obligated to do so, the dealer who ordered them for us gave us 100 bucks off each for this reason!
Get em before there gone..
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

The latest ones have an "R" tacked on to the end of the stock number, presumably to signify "RUST". "May have heavy rust in barrel, on bolt, etc..."? No thanks.

for some reason the kimbers did not sell well on cmp. They had them originally listed for an awful long time. Now prior to them were some remington targets, and the mossberg WWII training rifles for 69bucks. They sold out rather quickly
