Description:
IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN ONE GETS TO OFFER SUCH A LIMITED EDITION - THIS MODEL 89 IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL 14 FOUNDER'S EDITION RIFLES SCHEDULED TO BE PRODUCED, WHICH WAS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE NEEDED OPERATING CAPITAL FOR KIMBER AT THE TIME - BASED ON THE RESEARCH AVAILABLE, ONLY 8 WERE ACTUALLY PRODUCED. ANYONE WITH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HEAR FROM YOU, PLEASE CALL
THIS RIFLE HAS A LIGHT FLORAL SCROLL ENGRAVING ON THE RECEIVER AND ON THE QUICK RELEASE KIMBER SCOPE RINGS - GOLD WAS USED FOR BOTH GREG AND JACK WARNES' SIGNATURES, FOUNDERS OF KIMBER (1979 - 1991) AT THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SIDES OF THE BARREL ALONG WITH A GOLD BAND AT THE JUNCTION OF THE RECEIVER AND BARREL - THE FLOOR PLATE ALSO HAS A GOLD CIRCLE BAND SURROUNDING THE WORDS "KIMBER BIG GAME RIFLE" ENCASING A SILVER CIRCLE ENGRAVED WITH A BEAR'S HEAD - THE ELEGANT ENGRAVING WAS DONE BY LARRY PETERS. - ALL SCREW HEADS ARE IN ALIGNMENT AND ENGRAVED, ALONG WITH THE BOLT ON FOUR SIDES WITH A FLORAL PATTERN ON THE BOTTOM - THE RIFLE IS MOUNTED ON A FINE PIECE OF FRENCH WALNUT WITH PISTOL GRIP STOCK (METAL CAP) AND MULTI-POINT CHECKERING, WRAP AROUND ON THE FOREARM - INLETTED SLING SWIVEL BASES AND A SOLID KIMBER PAD - BASED ON THE INLETTING AND WORKMANSHIP ONE CAN SEE THAT SPECIAL CARE WAS USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS "FOUNDERS EDITION" - IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, THE TOP OF THE BARREL IS HAND ENGRAVED "FOUNDERS EDITION 1 OF 14" ALONG WITH THE CALIBER .375 H&H - SERIAL NUMBER IS FE-G1 AND THE LEFT REAR BARREL IS MARKED WITH THE COLTON, OREGON ADDRESS -. A LEUPOLD VXIII 1.5 X 5 SCOPE COMPLETES THIS RIFLE. CONDITION: BOTH RIFLE AND SCOPE ARE AS NEW NEVER USED - IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING, THIS SERIES HAD NO SPECIAL PACKAGING FROM THE FACTORY AND THIS RIFLE HAS NONE - AS WE ALL KNOW KIMBER IS THRIVING TODAY IN IT'S EASTERN FACILITIES BUT THE FACT REMAINS VERY FEW RIFLES FROM THE TOTAL OREGON PRODUCTION WERE ENGRAVED.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE THE ADVANCED KIMBER COLLECTOR OR ONE WHO APPRECIATES A QUALITY AMERICAN MADE FIREARM THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED AND IS PART OF OUR AMERICAN FIREARM HISTORY.
