what are some prices on the kimbers? i don't know much about them is the 84m the standard? which is the cheapest? how much do you think i could get a new one for? i want to get a solid 22 and i have heard nothing but good things about the kimber's line of rifles.

I am not sure of the model I shot? The Kimber-22 I shot belonged to a friend of mine. He paid $900.00 for it. He topped it with a Leupold Vari X-III 3.5x10x40mm. This scope was WAY overkill for this rifle. I guess he was having a mid-life problems?
His Kimber would only shoot great groups with "match ammo". His rifle would shoot very good & it had a good trigger. The only problem I had with it was the price.

I have a Kimber Classic Varmint (.22) on order right now... I am paying $835 on it, but that is because my friends friend is a master dealer... I think the price range is around $800 for the hunter up to about $1350 for the Super america.

A couple of things you should know, these are beautiful guns and are more than accurate for any hunting you will do.

Some of the negatives I have heard is that they have a left-handed twist (I do not really know why this is relevant, but the target shooters list it is a negative). You should not expect Anshuntz or Cooper accuracy. In other words Kimber is a poor choice as target .22.

Another positive is that they are built like their centerfire rifles and are capable of being dry fired (you won't find many .22's like that). You will then be able to find the matching centerfire model and have a set, which to me is really nice.

I am getting one because I feel I got a good deal, I think the gun is the most beautiful .22 for the price and I will not be using it for competitive target shooting.

By the way, Weaver makes a 2-7x scope for around $125, which should be a great scope for any Kimber. Also for future reference go to Gunbroker.com to look up what gun prices currently are, it is a good starting point.
