Was wondering what others are seeing for prices for made in NY, not Oregon, .22 rifles. The standard sporter...
I picked up a very nice one a few years ago. Very dark straight grain stock and matte finished metal. Same shop has the same gun 99% condition but the stock is a little lighter in color and a lot more grain in the butt stock.
Looked over on GunBroker at both the current auctions and completed ones and there doesn't seem to be many of them around...and it seems there are more Kimber of Oregon rifles for sale than NY rifles...
Firm price on this one is $800 OTD and has the bases and rings...your thoughts would be appreciated.

Owning a Kimber SA 22 from New York, I pay attention to their value. A recent sale on GB for a Super America K 22 was $2400.
I've noticed the same thing you have, more availability of Oregon guns than NY. I think KONY owners are sitting tight if they can. They are a very good rifle if you use them and if collecting, maybe a good investment.
At 800 I would be a buyer.

I bought an SVT for $775 but have seen a few standard models go at $900. My standard KONY 22 shoots better than the SVT did so I wound up selling the SVT for $800, sold the first day.
I'd not think too long on it.

This one with box brought $1050 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=465594045Nice ones usually bring $950-1100. I got lucky couple years and bought one right, great rimfires. Mags can be finicky; wonderful trigger. $800 is a good price.

Good price. Don't dawdle.
A KONY would be my first choice for a .22 in the $1000 range. If I had more money. I'd go Cooper, although I might take a chance on a Low Wall.

Ditto what others have said. $800 - $1100 seems to be the current market value depending on condition and wood quality. I was lucky enough to find a very nice KONY K22 at a gun show with mounts and Leupold scope for the price that you quoted. One of the best buys that I've made as it has become my favorite RF.

That is a great price and considering that they don't show up often you better make your move.

RJM that is a good price on a Kimber NY. I only own Oregon models and sold 2 of those I wish I hadn't.

RJM: I am happy for you ("pulling the trigger on the Kimber 22"!). I hope you are as happy with your Kimber 22's as I am with mine. Be sure and let us know how it shoots. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

You did well. I'm a buyer for all I see at that price. Have had 10 currently own 4 pus coopers and Anschutz's 54"s. Other than my cooper JSR the kimbers are my faves. And they flat out shoot.

"My experience as well. I have had my Hunter since 2007."
Would that range be Brocks Gap?

Would that range be Brocks Gap? No, that is my club's range located in Colbert County near the little community of Crooked Oak, Alabama. My club is named the North Alabama Shooting Association. I have shot at Brock's Gap before. I enjoyed one of their .22 Sniper Matches last year. Quite a haul from here unfortunately, or I would attend those matches more often.

Yes sir. Although I've only owned one Kimber, it's a keeper. I have a Kahles RF 2-7x36 mounted and the combo makes a great squirrel hunting setup. I was just shooting it the other day (4 shot grp at 30yds with SK 40gr HV HP's). It really shoots the SK's well in addition to subsonics.

Last one I saw here locally was in the $7-800 range a few years back. However, I've picked up a couple of Rem 541's lately - one under $400 and the other under $500 so feel nice rim fires here don't demand demand premiums...

My experience as well. I have had my Hunter since 2007. I have a Oregon manufactured 82C with a red recoil pad. The Best .22 Rifle I have owned to date, no issues and a superb trigger. I have been looking for a Hunter with a three position safety, they are not easy to find.
