Kimber Model 22 Classic (K22) Sporter - .22LR - 22.75" Barrel - Excellent Condition
Kimber Model 22 "Classic Sporter" – The Quintessential American .22 Bolt Action
For sale is a Kimber Model 22, also known as the "K22 Classic Sporter," chambered in .22 Long Rifle. This rifle is offered in excellent used condition and represents what many consider to be the finest production .22 bolt-action rifle ever made in America. Now discontinued, the K22 series was renowned for delivering "semi-custom" features, exceptional accuracy, and centerfire-level craftsmanship at a production rifle price. This example, with its distinctive green laminate stock and black fluted barrel, is a standout piece for the discerning rimfire enthusiast.
The heart of the K22 is its serious, scaled-down Mauser-style controlled-feed action with a Winchester Model 70-style two-position safety. It is topped with a 22.75" free-floated, match-grade, fluted barrel featuring a tapered match chamber and a target crown. The action is pillar-bedded into the smooth green laminate stock for unwavering consistency. The trigger is exceptional—a clean-breaking, adjustable unit set to approximately 2 lbs. Scope rings (Kimber scalloped base pattern) are included and installed, ready for your preferred optic.
With an overall length of 43" and weighing just over 6 lbs, this rifle balances superbly. The smooth, pistol-grip laminate stock and rubber buttpad offer classic, comfortable handling. In excellent condition throughout, this Kimber K22 is more than a plinker; it is a precision instrument capable of dominating small-bore competitions, providing the ultimate training platform, or simply delivering unmatched satisfaction to the shooter who appreciates overbuilt, heirloom-quality rimfire rifles.
