CMP Rifles: Trash or Treasure?
I chose to post the thread here, because I hope to encourage that folks purchase these CMP Kimber rifles for use other than simply competition, as in any daily shooting, from plinking to informal competition.
I was hesitant to post these targets for concern that someone would think me to be bragging. Ultimately, it dawned on me…in terms of genuine target-grade .22LRs, these targets are average at best. The pros shootists fire groups that consistently measure in the range of 0.01 to 0.03 at this distance, and farther, so there sure isn’t any bragging. To that end, I thought what I am really showing is that if an “average shootist” such as myself can fire groups like these, then these CMP rifles must truly be exceptional quality. So, if anyone is considering the CMP’s Kimber Model 82 Government .22LR Target Rifle, these pictures should support the notion that they are worth every cent of $600.00, new in the box.
Does anyone else have a CMP Kimber, CMP H&R or CMP Savage Target .22LR? If you do, please post your average targets. As you can see, these were not fired with “target” ammunition. The answer to the opening question, CMP Rifles: Treasure!
