raz,
You said a mouthful. I love my Remingtons. I love my Ruger. I even like my Savage. But, I have never had a fine rifle. I know that little Kimber 22 Hornet wont kill coyotes any deader than any of my current calling rifles. Heck, I probably wont ever hunt with it.

But, I have never had a fine rifle. I have never held a rifle that I immediately fell in love with like this one. Never had one that caught my eye or gave me the feeling I got just holding it, never shot it. Your right, it may be snob appeal, or whatever you want to label it, but I still want it.

Lifes short. If something trips your trigger like that, and you can afford it, I dont see a thing wrong with treating yourself.

As I said, IF I can get this guy to sell me that little Kimber, it will probably spend more time in the safe than anything. May make it to the range, gunclub or backyard range. But I doubt it will ever be fired at an animal. It wont get 500 rounds put through it during my lifetime. But, Ill smile everytime I open the safe and pick it up.


Andy
