OP bigwhoop Campfire Ranger B Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 22,736 Minnesocialism	I have an opportunity to buy a Kimber 82 in 22 Hornet - the standard version. The blueing finish is 99+% and the orange colored walnut is 98%. The rifle also comes with a Leupie M-8 that is 7.5 power. The objective and eyepiece have turned a plum color. The owner cannot vouch about any accuracy but the rifling looks clean. I know the shop paid $1100 for it and I can get it for $1150. So what do others more knowledgeable with this model think?

I don't know enough about original Kimbers but thought the 22 Hornet was a great cartridge. We'll see what happens. Hope all is well over there and Merry Christmas.

My gunshop guy said he was told it was California walnut. Also I wasn't aware there was a 7.5 scope in the M8. It has that plum look too. Last edited by bigwhoop; 12/22/12.

I PM'd "Headache" by the way to see if he had any incite. But unfortunately he has no knowledge of that earlier company and Model. My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
