I recently traded for a Kimber Sporterized 30.06. Just had to post and brag on it a little.

The rifle shoots MOA at 100 yards using factory Winchester 165 grain Power Points. Has a stainless fluted barrel and a new Timney trigger. It is actually a pleasure to shoot. The Monte Carlo synthetic stock fits me to a tee. Rifle has a VZ24 action.

Any of you folks had any experience with a Kimber Sporter and can any one advise me on the value of this rifle. No Dings, everthing about it looks new.

You have a Kimber sporterized VZ24 Mauser. These were made on a limited basis quite a few years back.......I may be wrong, but these were made in Clackamas, Oregon during Kimber's second attempt at business but prior to moving to New York. I might have that wrong. As I recall they ran around $300 back then..........and again I could be wrong but I think they were made 8 years ago or so.

Good find! Not that I've been trying, but I haven't seen one for sale EVER, either on the 'net or in gunshows.

The barrell is stamped Clackamas, Oregon.

Thanks for the reply. TJ

Where on the rifle is the stamping (Clackamas)located?

Just curious I bought a M98 30-06 recently from a guy who got it new in Eugene...

Thanks.
