Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is proud to present a once-in-a-generation offering direct from the legendary Kimber Vault—an extraordinary collection of firearms that have never before been released to the public. These remarkable pieces include Serial Number One examples, rare prototypes, and factory display & salesman samples, ALL of which were retained internally for decades by Kimber's Founder, Owner, & CEO, Leslie Edelman.
Until now, these firearms have remained unseen outside of the company’s inner circle, making this a truly unprecedented opportunity for collectors. Each firearm will be accompanied by an official Kimber Factory Certificate of Authenticity, further solidifying its provenance and historical significance.
As the exclusive outlet entrusted with their release, Bryant Ridge Co. offers collectors a unique chance to acquire historically significant Kimber firearms with unmatched provenance and desirability.
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this semi-automatic pistol today for a penny-start auction; this is the Kimber K17 Pro Varmint Mach 2 with Serial Number #KA12383!

According to the remarks, this firearm was selected for display at SHOT Show 2006, the firearms industry's premier annual trade event.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber K17 Pro Varmint Mach 2 is a precision-built bolt-action rimfire rifle chambered in .17 Mach 2 (HM2), designed for shooters who demand high accuracy in a modern, purpose-driven platform. Built on Kimber’s well-regarded rimfire action, the Pro Varmint configuration typically features a heavy contour barrel for enhanced stability and heat resistance, making it ideal for extended shooting sessions and precise shot placement. The .17 Mach 2 cartridge offers a flat trajectory and higher velocity than .22 LR, providing excellent performance for small game and varmint applications. From a performance standpoint, the K17 Pro Varmint excels with its match-grade barrel and crisp, adjustable trigger, delivering consistent accuracy at extended rimfire distances. The “Pro” designation generally reflects a more modern, utilitarian setup—often incorporating a durable synthetic stock designed for stability and field use rather than purely traditional aesthetics. Kimber’s attention to detail ensures smooth bolt operation and reliable function, reinforcing its reputation for producing premium rimfire rifles. From a collector’s and enthusiast’s perspective, the K17 Pro Varmint in .17 Mach 2 holds added appeal due to the relative scarcity of HM2 chambered rifles. Compared to more common rimfire calibers, .17 Mach 2 saw more limited production and has developed a niche following among shooters who appreciate its unique ballistic characteristics. When combined with Kimber’s quality and the Pro Varmint configuration, this rifle stands as a desirable and somewhat uncommon offering, appealing to both serious shooters and collectors seeking a refined rimfire platform.
