Just opened up my CMP package and I tell ya what. If any one of you has any interest in getting a great entry level smallbore position rifle. The "Rusty" Kimber M82 Govt is the deal of the century...

They (CMP) has two grades. Non Rusty (600$) & the Rusty (400$). I bought the Rusty and I am telling you it is worth every penny and would have bummed had I bought the 600$ and got to compare it to the 400$. The actual rust could be compared to taking a cold rilfe in the house at night and leaving it in the case overnight. If even that..

These are almost gone from the CMP, out of 20k made for the Army & all surplused to the CMP. Rumor mill says the current stock wont last the yr.. And when they are gone, they are gone.. They are a great deal. If interested in more, go to RimfireCentral and find the Kimber forum topic and look for yourself...

Pix of mine to follow later...

Congrats Rod. I've been wondering if you received your Kimber yet. Now the fun starts.

Have you decided on a scope yet?

Looks like I am going to have to talk you into coming down my way for some Indoor Rimfire Bench Rest Shooting this next Winter.

I've thought about buying one of those CMP Kimber .22's a dozen times...

Hope yours works out well!
