The half-fluted, heavy contour barrel keeps weight forward for steady off-hand shots while promoting rapid heat dissipation during extended strings. Its 1:16 right-hand twist is optimized for standard-velocity .22 LR match ammunition.
A silhouette-profile walnut stock shares the geometry of Kimber’s center-fire Model 84, giving shooters a familiar feel and consistent cheek weld. Fine cut checkering, a rubber recoil pad, and QD sling-swivel studs add practical touches.
The adjustable single-stage trigger breaks cleanly, and the two-position wing safety offers simple, positive operation. Controlled-round feed enhances reliability—an uncommon feature in rimfire bolt guns.
Matte-blued metalwork resists glare in bright match conditions, while the pre-installed Weaver bases let you mount optics immediately. With its limited production run and factory accuracy guarantee, this Kimber 22 HS holds strong appeal for both competitors and collectors.
