Ed- The "S" series came out about a year before the Super America. They were Kimbers first high grade model. The name "Super America" was obviously Kimber's solution to Winchester name trademark quandry.
I also think the Super America had a more modern Classic style cheekpeice (forward edge flowing into the grip with comb flutes in both sides).
The “Super America” model to which you refer above is not named after a country or continent, but a car, the Ferrari Superamerica.
Greg Warne, who with his father Jack, formed the Kimber of Oregon company, was apparently a sports car enthusiast, and deemed the name fitting for their top rifle.
Pics of non s series. Would be super America. 22 hornet. Appears unfired. $2750 shipped. Can send and additional pics video needed by cell phone. I put scope on this one and have never fired 6.5-20. Could be bought if desired with it

I have an "S" series in 22LR with the sights. That series was limited to 500 and predates the Super America. I have a SA in 22 Hornet that doesn't come close to the wood on the sellers rifle. If I didn't already have one this would be coming home. A very nice rifle at a great price IMHO. GLWS
Thanks for kind words. I do prefer to sell heavy barreled one. Shoot me and offer. I’m out of gun safe rooms and overflowing to buddy’s places so I need to get rid of some doubles

TPAK: My unfired new in the box Kimber in 22 Hornet has the following serial number "HS16X". My online and hard copy inventory lists show the Model as "82 Super" - I don't recall if I shortened that model designation to fit in the column or if indeed it should be Super America or Super. I guess I could look at the Kimber box or on the Rifle itself if you need more info? Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
The H is for Hornet and the S is for “S” Series (pre Super American) rifles. A heavy barrel will have an HB usually. The HB will usually be at the end of the serial # not the beginning.
