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 bolt-action rifle today for a penny-start auction; this is the Kimber K22 Super America with Serial Number #KA05253!
This Kimber Factory Letter documents a K22 Super America rifle, identified by the serial number KA05253. This specific firearm is chambered in .22 LR and is configured with a 22-inch barrel, a Blued finish, and a Walnut stock. According to the remarks, this example is part of a special edition that was retained within the personal holdings of Leslie Edelman, founder and owner of Kimber. Firearms from these retained groups were set aside from general distribution, preserving them as part of a private archive. The document, signed by Leslie Edelman, states that the rifle was released from the Kimber Vault on February 6, 2026, and delivered to Bryant Ridge Co. in Liberty, Kentucky.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Kimber K22 Super America represents the absolute crown jewel of modern American rimfire bolt-action rifle manufacturing. Built around Kimber's renowned K22 action in a deep, high-luster polished charcoal blued finish, the Super America model is famed for its breathtaking exhibition-grade AAA French walnut stocking. Outfitted with wrap-around hand checkering, an inlaid ebony forend tip, shadow-line pancake cheekpiece, and factory-installed scope bases, it stands as an unquestioned masterpiece of form, fit, and benchrest precision. What establishes this K22 Super America as an extraordinary, museum-tier centerpiece for rimfire collectors is its direct executive vault lineage. Bearing serial number **KA05253**, this rifle was specially set aside from general commercial distribution and retained directly in the private holdings of Kimber Founder, Owner, & CEO Leslie Edelman. Preserved in the executive Kimber Vault until its official release on February 6, 2026, this factory-certified archive piece comes complete with its factory-labeled original box and signed COA letter. An irreplaceable, heirloom-tier addition for any advanced Kimber rimfire, K22, or Leslie Edelman Vault collector!
