My new to me 82G. Custom bedded, custom trigger to 6oz, shoots MOA with "cheap" Tasco Japanese 8-32x40mm target scope and SK Pistol Match.

Kimber has a good rep for .22lr rifles.

Very nice rifle!

I may be wrong but it seems like I remember maybe 10 plus years ago the CMP was selling these as new but may have had broken trigger guards and razor nicks in the stock from when the military was unpacking to inventory. Every time I was on the website seeing what new Garands were available I would tell myself I need to get one of these Kimber rifles before they're all gone and I snoozed too long. The CMP price then was much more appealing then the asking prices I'm seeing now on a quick web search.  Yet another one of my would have, could have, should have stories.
