Kimber Super Grade Rifle

[Mudinyeri]

Is there any value in a 20 year-old, NIB Kimber Super Grade in .338 WM?  I have a guy that's interested in trading one to me but it seems like a gun in a pretty narrow niche.  Am I right?

If it's like this one, it's "a wonderful rifle for North American game at an affordable price."

The Only Problem With a Kimber Rifle:

I wuntz had a Kimber Model 84 in .223Remington.

Darn Thing was Sooooooooo Be-Yooo-Ti-Full that I was afraid to take it out in the field and shoot it.   Never did.

Couldn't stand the thought of getting even the tiniest scratch or even a bit of dust on it.

But.......Rifles are Tools; They Have a Job to Do.    So I traded it off for some Stuff That Could be Shot and Stuffed in the Trunk.


Now.............I wuntz knew this Be-Yooo-Ti-Full Woman............

Whoops.    Wrong Forum.

Sounds about like the guy that owns this .338 WM.  He just couldn't bring himself to take it out into the field.  He also has a NIB, unfired Ruger #1 in .45-70.

My #1 hits the range as often as I do.  Yes, it’s a beautiful weapon, gorgeous wood and fine mechanics, but I'll be dammed if I am going to let it become a safe-queen.   I once had a Weatherby Mk-V in 300WB-mag, and I had that in the field as often as possible.  Sold it sometime back for more than I paid for it, just can’t handle the recoil in my old age and $60.00 a box (of 20) for factory rounds just made it no longer worth the beauty.
