If you’re a .22 collector, a CMP junkie, or just someone who loves old-school American marksmanship rifles, you might want to stop what you’re doing and grab your wallet.
The latest batch of CMP surplus .22 target rifles is hitting the store. And they’re disappearing fast. Like, already-sold-out fast.
If you blinked, the Winchester 52B and 52C? Gone. Vapor. Just a sad little “SOLD OUT” where the “Add to Cart” button used to be.
For everyone else still alive in the race, there are a few gems left.
The standout is the Remington .22 single-shot target rifle (Item R22M40XNS), a classic that saw action with military teams, civilians, and ROTC units across the country.
CMP says they’re in good to very good condition, which, for a rifle with this pedigree, is about all you can ask for. Heavy or tapered barrel? Luck of the draw. Sights? You’re supplying your own.
But at $700 with a 500-round brick of surplus .22 ammo, this is one of those rifles that will actually get used, not just stared at.
Still in stock is the Winchester 52D (R22M52DNS), the single-shot variant of the “King of the .22s” lineage.
Adjustable trigger, heavy barrel, ROTC and college team history… this thing checks every box for a precision .22 nerd. CMP warns that some stocks may have mods or missing parts thanks to years on firing lines, but that’s part of the charm.
At $850, plus the same 500-round ammo brick, it’s the last remaining .52-series rifle you can still snag.
If you want something with U.S. Army history, the Kimber 82G (R22M82) is another solid grab. Originally built for the Army’s marksmanship program as the successor to the H&R Model 12, these rifles often shoot far better than their surplus appearance suggests.
They’re $600, or $550 without sights (both versions include the 500-round brick). Stocks and metal will vary, but function checks out. These have a huge following.
You’ll find the H&R Model 12 (R22M12) in the same price range ($600 with sights, $550 without) another classic military trainer that many CMP fans consider “built like a tank.”
As with the others, some wear is expected, but they’ve all been fired and cleared for function.
CMP has already warned that large quantities of these rifles are never coming back. And remember: the new 12-rifle annual limit doesn’t apply to .22s. Translation: stock up while you still can.
All rifles are AS-IS, no returns, and shipping is $35. Click HERE to learn more!
