Friday the 13th has gone by now, so I felt better about going outside.
Well, It's not really an Uber fancy Kimber, like that cool fella in Mesa who talks and spells funny, but I thought it was pretty cool. So, I bought it at the gunshow today.
I'm not really sure what I've got, being an ignorant Missouri hick and all. I do know it is a Model 82, Ser # H4XX, has Kimber of Oregon, Clackamas, OR etc... on the barrel.
Now what is throwing me off a bit is it has the Monte Carlo type stock with the cheek piece. It doesn't say Cascade anywhere I've found yet. I looks like the classic in a nicer stock.

I am really doubting that it has been fired. The seller, sold it on consignment. It actually looks to me like it was just taken out of the box.
Since a certain "big guy who keeps telling my brother to shoot me with wax bullets" told me that I should "go snatch it up" good price, I purchased it.
The bolt and bore had something like cosmoline on it. After cleaning it up, she looks new inside and out. The seller even knocked another $120 off the price. It Even came with those nice Talley rings and a get ready for this..... A Bushnell "ScopeChief VI" telescope on it. I know how neat of a fixed power scope that is, and you guys are probably lining up to trade me a Leupold VXIII for the Bushnell, but I just might hold onto it.

Pretty little gun Dan. I will trade you my trick 10-22 Ruger for it. Even up.
You didn't mention what caliber it was. If a standard short action, I think my fancy stock will fit it.
Matthew Salm made me an offer I may not be able to refuse tho. 17 rem or17-223 even trade for the Kimber.

Pretty little Hornet, you'll find that it shoots like a house afire too most likely, By Golly!!
BTW, I think Kimber Cascade just indicated better wood, don't remember them marking them as "Cascade"
You did good.

Look at the title.
This 22 Hornet wasn't planned, I just stumbled onto it sort of. I don't have any Hornet reloading gear. But I might soon.
I really thought hard about trading my 17 Rem AR, which BTW Matt Built the upper for, and it shoots very, very nice for your Uber 243, but I just acquired a couple of Rem 700 243's, really don't need another. Plus, I have plans of bringing my AR17 to the next rondy anyhoo... and blasting away at some coyotes.
I have a PacNor barreled AR in 6x45, that was built by John Noveski which is trading material.
