Rings for a '83 Vintage Kimber 82?

[HTSmith]

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm wanting to upgrade the scope on my old Kimber Model 82 Sporter in 22RF and will need rings that are a little higher. It has the grooved receiver. I was all set to order some Burris rings when a note popped up saying they would not fit the Kimber. Could someone please advise of some medium height rings that would fit?

Talley supplied the original's. I believe the only difference from regular Talley's is they had an extra locating grove in the front ring which is easy to machine in to fit Kimber's. There's a lot of Kimber collectors on rimfirecentral.com, it would be worth a post over there if nothing turns up.

Leupold manufactured the original 82 dovetail/grooved receiver rings. I have the 11mm high Leupold 22 rings on my 82A Varmint using a Leupold 6.5-20x40 EFR and it fits well. Brian.

Thank you for the info. How much clearance do you have between the objective and your barrel if I might ask?

I have exra set laying around. 30mm or 1" do you need. Also have drop in trigger that adjusts down to 1 oz pull.

With a Butler Creek cap, about 1/16". My rifle is a 82A Varmint Laminate with a full bull. Brian.

I was thinking Warne was the maker of the original rings

Have you asked Kimber about rings?

Only problem is the company is a completely different one now than the one that made the rifle

I just bought one of those, the only one I've ever seen. According to the folks on RFC, only 100 were made.
