WHAT’S INCLUDED: RIFLE
This Kimber Model 82 Government Target is the real-deal U.S. military rimfire trainer, built to teach precision, discipline, and pure marksmanship without burning centerfire ammo. These rifles were purpose-built as Army training guns, and this one wears the right Government-marked DNA with the “US” stamp and GM-prefix serial. It is a single-shot setup, exactly how a serious training rifle ought to be when the goal is slow-fire fundamentals and absolute shooter accountability.
Kimber did not phone this one in. You get a heavy 25.00-inch target barrel, a smooth bolt-action system, and an adjustable single-stage trigger meant to break clean when it counts. The micrometer rear aperture and globe front sight give this rifle the kind of sight picture that turns good shooters into dangerous paper-punching machines.
The Government Target version stands apart from sporting Model 82 variants because it was built around military training use, not casual plinking. That oversized walnut target stock, flat fore-end, and accessory rail setup were designed for position work and structured range use. It is a smart, rugged American trainer from the Clackamas Kimber era, and that alone gives it a serious edge with collectors who know what they are looking at.
For the buyer chasing U.S. training rifles, this piece hits a sweet spot between military history and top-shelf rimfire performance. It has the look, the markings, and the purpose-built configuration that make the Model 82 Government one of the standout postwar American trainers. Clean examples keep getting harder to ignore because they deliver both collector appeal and flat-out enjoyable range time.
Bottom line, this rifle flat-out drips classic American target-rifle swagger. From the long heavy barrel to the crisp sight package and warm walnut stock, it has that no-nonsense military schoolhouse vibe that still commands respect on the line. This is the kind of rimfire trainer that looks right, feels right, and backs it up every time the bolt drops.
