I'm trying to get the absolute best here. Something that will group 1.5"-2" consistantly. I shoot at 25 yards. Interested in hearing if any of you know of or have one that can do it. I have 2, neither of them can group to my satisfaction using even the best ammo. Thanks in advance.

Look at a Smith & Wesson model 41. They are expensive but extremely accurate. I've got an older Browning Buckmark with a red dot sight that's no slouch either. To get that kind groups you'd be using a rest, right?

No. What I need is a .22 that is capable of it. I can get 2-4" groups with either Kimber .45 with a 7 round mag but I cannot keep that up all day. Too much wobble on my part. But I know the gun is capable so that's what I'm looking for in a target .22
With a rest, my current .22's can vary 4-6-8" groups which is more "plinking" than anything else and a waste of my time and ammo for what I want to do.
Thanks for the heads up on the Smith, I'll look into it.

Steve, you are on to something with the model 41. All steel, 41 oz. adjustable sight, etc.
Beautiful pistol. Of the two I think I like the 5.5"....Thanks again
BTW $1369

I agree with Steve's recommendation of the S&W model 41.

Dang, good enough for me!

I like the Browning Buckmark.

I am with Steve.

I guess I am with dude and Steve. I had a beautiful 41 target made in 68 which was a cherished year for the model. It was scary accurate with the right ammo. I sold to a bullseye shooter who could put to better use. But plan on 8-1200.

Tell me someone here has knowledge of this .22 or knows someone who has one. I had no idea Kimber made one!

The barrel and slide on that gun are probably the same as the barrel and slide offered in Kimbers .22 conversion kit so if you already own a Kimber save some money and buy the conversion kit. I received one for my birthday but have yet to fire it. I've just recently scored some .22 LR ammo so I will be shooting it on my next trip to the range.

The one at PSA is a good price if still in stock. I have a Kimber 22 upper but not the complete gun. I wanted the heft of the steel gun so I put the 22 upper on my Team Match. I like it. Those like me that shoot with a high thumbs and thumbs forward grip have to be very aware that nearly contact against the slide can cause a stoppage by slowing the slide speed. I have not had an issue with federal bulk pack though some report they have. Higher velocity help with break in though I just work the slide empty a few hundred times before using.

I can NOT wait to hear a report on this Chuck. You've made me wait long enough.

Mike I know the Smith 41 has been recommended, I get that and thanks to you and all for chiming in. In your opinion is your Kimber set up as accurate as it needs to be or is it just a plinker? I'm sure the steel helps vs all aluminum..
I have no problem spending the extra $ to get what I need, I just like Kimber and would love to hear it could suit my desire for accuracy.

I held a Kimber .22 today. Looked and felt great. No idea how it shoots though. I'd love to spend some time with one.

Boy, you really were in Kimber Heaven. It looks like a sweet pistol in silver.

The kimber will not outshoot a 41 in my experience. Checkout rim fire central and or the bullseye forums for the serious 22 guy reports.

I have not experimented enough to find the Kimbers favorite ammo for accuracy. I am not a bullseye shooter.

They had a stainless, but I fondled the black model.
