If I could ever stop buying powder and primers and .22LR rounds, I might could buy another!! :lol4:

I have vowed to stop buying guns for a while and start stocking up/ hoarding components.

 

[mstrophyhunter]

I did the componet hoarding over last 2 years when at highest prices but I have them now so starting to buy a gun are 2 Are 30 going after msrednecks high count on guns

 

[jbpmidas]

It will take me a while, but if the Wolf primers turn out to be pretty decent, that will help. Back on topic, I've got to get some more rimfire ammo also.

 

[mstrophyhunter]

One thing I found with wolf is when loaded in 6brx 6x47 and some other rounds I get a lot of hangfires but laying on the ground target shooting you can notice it but thru my ar rifles can't really notice I a few 1000 wolf but will only buy cci now

Good luck with catching 'Ol Neck!! :lol: You will probably need another job or two! :lol4:

 

[jbpmidas]

I bought them, primarily, for my Garand. I will try them in my .308 after reading what I have.

I have a quick question abouit these CMP kimbers if anyone here knows

I realize these were surplus military stock, were these made for the army by the original
Kimber out in Oregon when Warne owned the company or later by the new Kimber America in
Yonkders NY?

 

[jbpmidas]

They are labelled "Kimber of Oregon." But I think there were several iterations of "Kimber of Oregon," weren't there?

They are Greg Warne made guns from the original Kimber -- here is an interesting link about them --

Kimber of Oregon "iterations"

They are labelled "Kimber of Oregon." But I think there were several iterations of "Kimber of Oregon," weren't there?

As I understand it, yes there were several owners of the Oregon based original Kimber,
first Greg Warne until he fell on hard financial times, then the company passed to some
or one of his primary investors but was ultimately closed down and sold to the entity
that moved production, and some design changes on the .22s as well to the Yonkers NY
facility that also makes centerfires now and has sadly dropped the .22 from their line.

 

[jbpmidas]

I thought Kimber still made .22's.

 

[45flattop]

I thought Kimber still made .22's.

Sadly Kimber dropped all its .22LR rifles several years ago, I have downloaded copies
of its catalogs going back 4 years and the oldest I have shows them missing in action.

About the only high dollar .22s left in the market as far as bolt actions go are the ones
made by Cooper and perhaps Anschutz. I won't own a Cooper product though since he
shoved both feet in his mouth and supported Obama.

That's what I need to do.....
