Each one pays the shipping. Mine is in very good shape, case is still goot on the receiver, original rear sight, front sight has a tube with a bead in it, works well. Wood is in good shape. you can contact meat 606-307-2079 or email me at samkoger10xyahoo.com

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. Last edited by PSH; 09/08/20.

Was a sweet shooter with just about anything I fed it, and a moderate charge of Re-22 along with the 140 grain Hornady was consistently in the 0.7 to 0.8" range for 3 shots at 100 yards. That's one rifle I regret parting with.

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

Thru May 1995 all stayed 6.5x55s. The Swedes made some dandy barrels.

Employees choice, no limit, $68 iirc.. Bump for a capable Swede and GoodGuy seller.
