We sold truck loads of these in the late 90's when Kimber was trying to break into the rifle world.everyone that bought one said they were shooters. Bump for a good shooter
Fail. These were first converted in early 2005, prior to that, "Kimber" was not anything but rifles since the early 80s.
I got no dog in this fight, but I ran a pawnshop from 1987 to 1994 and I can remember seeing these in the gun rags that came in. Ramline stock and rebarrelled. Seems to me they came in other short action calibers, and I always thought it was dumb i didn't pick one or two up because they were cheap. I'm by no means a kimber expert, but it seems to me they left Oregon and went to NY prior to 2000. Regardless, nice lassie rifle.
I personally set up the facility where the conversions occurred in Colton Oregon. However, I partied a lot and my brain missed a decade. Indeed the conversions started early 1995. Sorry dudes
Its ok where all getting old lol, I just knew it was late 90's that I bought a truck load of these, I confirmed that by my hard bound book. The only thing I didn't like about these rifles where the ram line stocks, they even came with walnut stocks i think from [bleep] or Richards. I have a 22-250 with a walnut stock with a 26" fluted barrel from kimber, if I remember right it was a 1/2" shooter, havet fired it in 20 years. Counted how many I sold 681, thats a truck load
