After reading this forum for the past several weeks, finding a couple of 40x for sale that were a bit out of my price range I "settled" for this Kimber from the CMP. Rusty she ain't, though that's how they are listed on the site.
From licking the stamp, to opening day, 12 excruciating days and nights went by.
Nothing wrong with her with the exception of a razor knife scratch on the LH forend and butt, no, not by me. Nothing a bit of stain won't take care of though.
Now for glass......or not

You can not go wrong with the Kimber! The only thig you did was "settle" for a good shooting 22 at a good price! Nice snatch!

You are correct Darkstar!
Hopefully get some range time this week with it to find what she likes.
Got the cosmolene scrubbed off this afternoon, not quite as bad as some of the Mosins I've cleaned up!
One thing I did not take apart was the bolt, not quite sure how it comes apart. Looks like after decocking it, removing the camming button, which is actually an internal hex bolt, not sure the nomenclature, the guts would slide out. Google time maybe.
Anybody know what kind of finish Kimber use's? I'm kinda hesitant on trying what I have on the shelf to cover/blend in the scratches on the stock and forend. May have to contact Kimber and see if they can tell me what they use at the time.
