Kimber Of Oregon Model 82 Serial Numbers

I have one of the original Kimber Model 82's in 22LR. It has a 4-digit serial number without any lettering prefix. I purchased this rifle new in 1981 upon completion of graduate school. It will put bullet on top of bullet at 25 yards with either Eley or Winchester Super-X ammo. It looks like new as it has been properly stored for years, but, unfortunately, never used.

The sticker on the end of the box says 'Kimber model 82' and then 'Deluxe'. Yeah I've heard others mention that Kimber offered that serial number service. Really nice rifles, Kimber of Oregon, all around. Jul 30, 2011 - Kimber of Oregon (Clackamas) model 82 new unfired in the box. Digit serial number and does not have a 'B' suffix on the model name on the.

I bought it for a squireel gun but just can't take it to the woods - it's too pretty. My Remington 581 does just fine as a squirrel gun, so I have never hunted with the Kimber. I haven't heard of the variety you have, but will check my Kimber paperwork. I have brochures and parts lists from 1981.

I'd be happy to copy them and mail them to you if you forward a mailing address. Not sure it will help, but I kept a file on the Kimber. I've owned three Kimber M82s and still have two of them. My first was from the initial production run and it was both beautiful and accurate.

Unfortunately the bolt release was integral with the trigger. I finally traded it when I got tired of being hit in the chin when cycling the bolt. Currently my M82.22 Hornet (3 digit serial number) standard field model is splendid as a true sub moa shooter. The M82.22LR in my stable is the 'Custom Classic' version with ebony fore end tip, fancy sling swivel studs, deluxe checkering, etc. This CC was acquired not long after I traded the first Kimber and the bolt release problem had been addressed. The CC will put 5 shots in one tiny hole at 50 yards; I've never fired it at 100yds.

It has fired thousands of rounds, taken a bunch of squirrels and looked good in my rack. Any Kimber is a quality product and worth more than its retail cost.

During the late 1980s, Kimber of Oregon received a US Government contract to manufacture 20,000 to 25,000 (with later options) Model 82 single-shot target rifles in caliber.22LR. Kimber began production on the contract in 1987. The contract called for Kimber to factory test every rifle for accuracy. The US Military specification MIL-R-1296 stipulated that each rifle must group 10 shots into a maximum diameter of 0.700 inch at a distance of 50 yards. Kimber advertised to their Dealer Network in 1989 that they were testing the M82 Government rifles in a computerized, underground shooting facility. Additionally, Kimber advised their dealers that they occasionally identified a rifle that would group better than 0.300 inch at 50 yards (although they did not specifically mention that the group consisted of 10 shots, one would assume so, even at the risk of being too optimistic. And the assumption would be incorrect.

The Star Grade group actually consisted of 5 shots, still good, but just so you know). The rifles which exhibited the better than required accuracy were stamped with a STAR on the right side of their receivers. Today, these M82 Government target rifles are sought after by shooters and collectors alike. The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has been selling them to the public for several years and is now reaching the end of their inventory, in fact, as you read this, Kimber M82 Government rifles may no longer be available from the CMP. According to a December 1 1989 Dealers’ Newsletter regarding the “Kimber Model 82.22LR Government” as it was called by Kimber, the following information described the rifle in terms of its basic components, specifically the Receiver, Bolt, Trigger, Stock, and Sights. Additionally Kimber boasted of an “Accuracy Guarantee”: Standard Grade = 10 shots at 50 yards grouped into 0.700 or less; Star Grade = 5 shots at 50 yards grouped into 0.300 inch.

RECEIVER: solid machined steel featuring a full length grooved dovetail which allows the use a receiver mounted scope or sight package. Bases are attached at three locations on the barrel to allow for barrel mounted scopes or sights. BOLT: Model 82 bolt design adapted to the Government single shot version. Features include “quick” lock time, strong, horizontally opposed locking lugs, 90 degree bolt uplift.

TRIGGER: single stage trigger mechanism adjustable for depth of sear engagement, trigger overtravel, and trigger pressure. STOCK: heavy target grade stock featuring three removable butt spacers (0.500 inch thickness each.), full length hand stop rail on bottom of forearm, fully adjustable hand stop and integral sling swivel, fully inletted steel trigger guard. SIGHTS: aperture sight package (an option from Kimber that the US Government includes in the CMP packages). Rear sight adjustments yield approximately 0.200 inch movement of impact point at 100 yards for each click of either windage or elevation adjustment. Front sight has 10 interchangeable inserts, seven of which are aperture type and three of which are post type. In 1989, the suggested retail price of the rifle was $595.00 and of the sight package, $209.95 (an increase from the earlier price of $160.00). The STAR Grade rifle was available from Kimber at the same price in December 1989 as a “special first time promotion”.
