I have a LH Kimber of OR Model 82 that fits just what you're describing. Trigger pull around 22 ounces, accurate as all get out. Beautiful stock in both design and finish with polished metal. With a Leupold straight M8 4X compact I used it to win several 100 yard .22 silhouette matches against purpose built full blown silhouette rifles with high power target turreted scopes - much to the chagrin of their owners.  There are a couple of .22's that survive in its presence (a very old 10/22 carbine and a 3 year old 10/22 Tactical) but it drove away all the other .22 rifles I've owned, including one or two Winchester 9422's. Jim I'd really like my Kimber back! as happy for you as a jealous man can be  would like to have one like it, specially considering which side of the rifle they placed the bolt!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I wouldn't use CCI Quik Shok on squirrels. For pests that need killing I like the Quik Shok. Don't always have a head shot.
The S/A sporters have been mentioned here and I love them dearly, I still buy them , however haven't been able to come across a good one with scope for a Grand.
There was a very nice one sold here quickly for about $ 1500.00 lately and a very nice one at that.
The only criticism I have of the S/A 54's is the noisy and inconvenient safety.

The one I want hasn't been made (yet):
Scaled down Kimber Montana in .22LR. Somehow I don't think that will happen but you never know!

I use an Anschutz 1416dkl, but my prime use is simple squirrel and bunny hunting, not benchresting or competition.
I learned to shoot on an old 64 action, so that heavily influenced my decision.

Original Oregon Kimbers work for me.

Gibby,
Are those 5-shot groups or 3-shot groups?

I'm the one that bought that 54 annie the other day. Probably payed to much but it really caught me.
I like the NY kimbers better than the Oregon ones, they seem to be more consistent shooters, not that a lot of the Oregon guns didn't shoot.
Shot some .6's and .7's 5 shots at 100 yds. yesterday with a NY classic varmit.

Boatammo,
That was a nice 54.
I can't get excited about the Kimbers. I have 2 left , not counting pistols, a .22 Hornet and a .22 LR both Clackamas guns. Just never had one that shot as good as I thought they should.
I'm sure that 54 you got will shoot great.
Best,
Cisco

Are those 5-shot groups or 3-shot groups? John, How about 10-shot groups for rimfire? Recoil, barrel heat, etc. aren't a factor. I've seen and shot some amazing 3-shot groups. And some 5-shot groups. But neither are consistent. Now I just shoot 10-shot groups to get a more realistic view of my rifle, ammo, and ummm... me. I thought 10-shot groups were pretty much standard for rimfire. Jason

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Paper gets old,quick. I use it for zero determinations/confirmations,then it's all about POA/POI intersections downrange. Reaching the 600yd line with a 22LR is a hoot,you can have 50yd paper and however [bleep] many times you wish to dabble it. ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/62/tp0r.jpg) Hint. The [bleep] POS CZ Hummer is now able to reach the 825yd line,with a combo of reticle/erector. ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/46/gmvn.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/33/qz0p.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1280x1024q90/843/yqvr.jpg) Just sayin'.

Gibby,
Are those 5-shot groups or 3-shot groups? I just now saw this^^^^ All five shot groups. Sighting in the Scopes with the Velocitors. All of these rifles are used for hunting. Don't do no paper punching with them. When the velocitors came out, and trying them out in a couple guns, I decided to use them in all my hunting rifles. I use them in the Model 63 and Model 17 also. I do not use them in the Model 41. It's good hunting ammo. Sorry for the delay.
Gun Shows are almost as comical as boat ramps in the Spring.

Jason I thought they were standard for centerfire too Schit BSA, I had a feeling you'd hear the mouse-click when I hit "reply" regarding groups/accuracy! Now, don't rush me... I've only started 5-shot groups for centerfire not too long ago. 3-shot were making me feel too good  Here's one for you. Just recently got a 10/22 and shot 10, scratch that 11, at 50y. There's some sweet 3-shot and 5-shot groups hidden in there... but as you know... would rather keep it realistic. Prefer to see 10-shot groups for most people shooting rimfire, at typical ranges (50-100y), to get a better read on what's-what. ![[Linked Image]](http://s29.postimg.org/vcod2r3mv/rem_thunderbolts.jpg)
