This Kimber Of Oregon Model 82 Single-Shot Silhouette Rifle is marked "U.S." and was part of a 1986 U.S. Government contract for 10,0000 guns to be used as military training rifle. SPECS: Smooth walnut target stock with adjustable sling rail under the forearm, black rubber buttpad with spacers, 25" bull barrel with recessed target crown, grooved receiver top with mounted fully adjustable rear peep sight, front globe sight with post insert, barrel mounted scope bases and sling ring. This rifle comes in the original shipping box dated "1995" - no label. CONDITION: This rifle is in same-as-new condition with no wear, has a perfect sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: Kimber was founded as "Kimber of Oregon" in 1979 by Jack Warne and his son, Greg Warne, in the small town of Clackamas, Oregon. The Kimber of Oregon company was formed for the sole purpose of making and selling its "American Made" Model 82 rifle. While the first prototype Model 82 was actually completed by Jack Warne in 1977, it would take until January of 1980 before Kimber of Oregon, Inc. (KoO) was officially established at which time shipments of the Model 82 began. In November, 1986, the U.S. Army notified Greg Warne, then president of Kimber, of a contract opportunity. The United States and Marine Corps were looking for a new rimfire rifle to be used in three-position indoor matches and to train military marksmen. The contract would be for 10,000 rifles. Kimber Of Oregon was eventually granted two separate contracts to manufacture M82s to serve as the U.S. Military training rifle. This U.S. Contract helped to revive the then struggling company, but in the late 1980s, the company began to struggle again after a private stock offering fell short. In 1989, Kimber of Oregon was sold to Oregon timber baron Bruce Engel who founded WTD Industries, Inc. Engel had difficulty running Kimber and soon the company sought bankruptcy protection. In 1990, several former Kimber employees, including Dan Cooper, founded Cooper Firearms of Montana. In the mid-1990s, Kimber was reformed and today "Kimber Of America" manufactures a line of M1911-style handguns of excellent quality, as well as rifles.
