Took the next 6 days off because I had so much vacation time built up. Been looking around at a lot of 10/22 options for the last month or so. Really like wood stocks, but still hate it when they get beat up from getting a lot of use. Did some serious digging on Ruger 10/22's, but finally realized stock options were quite limited if you wanted a threaded barrel. So, said screw it and decided to build exactly what I want from the ground up. Went with all Kidd hardware and a Hogue Overmolded stock in what they call "High Terrain Camo" color that will handle the .920" match barrel. I've got a real nice silver Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40 just sitting that's never been mounted, 2 sets of different size silver Tally rings in original packages, and a made to order Harris 6-9" bipod still in the bag. This pic is only to show what stock looks like, not the hardware I've purchased. 18-2 KIDD Aftermarket Barreled Action Classic Slip-Fit with Build Options RECEIVER COLOR: Silver (Expect 2 week delay) BARREL OPTION: 18" Match .920 Bead Blast MUZZLE THREADING OPTION: muzzle threading & cap (1/2"-28) on stainless steel .920 bull - 50.00 TRIGGER UNIT OPTION: single stage silver - 199.95 MAGAZINE RELEASE LEVER: extended (medium) BOLT COLOR & FINISH: silver matte - 99.95 BOLT HANDLE ASSEMBLY OPTION: Silver with Black Viton - 29.95 805.85 1 805.85 Subtotal: 805.85 Discount(s): 0.00 Taxes: 0.00 Shipping: 9.00 TOTAL: 814.85

Local_dirt: Thats a great looking stock there - sounds like you are going to have an especially nifty Rifle when you get it all together. Be sure to let us know how it shoots when you get it to the range. Enjoy your vacation time - doing what you want to do! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I have a hogue stock on my 10/22 and love it. That should be a heck of a gun when you are done. Have fun with it. Make sure you post some pictures.

Thanks, fellas. Will definitely post some pics and range stats when I get it built. Chomping at the bit already.
Gonna be about 2 weeks before I can expect to receive everything.

You'll love it. I did the Kidd barreled action thing with their tapered barrel and a hogue stock. Single stage trigger. Wish I went two stage. Regardless it's a value for sure. I was a super big cz fan boy till I got this.

Is that Hogue stock pillared bedded? That set up should be a very accurate shooter. As already mentioned, please keep us posted with results once it all gets put together.

Have you shot any lately? I shot a stock Ruger 10/22 with a $100 Nikon rimfire scope Monday and it was dotting eyes on dimes at 50. Just sayin.

I was a super big cz fan boy till I got this. woodson, thanks. I went with the single stage trigger based on a lot of research on it and the fact it was around $100 less. Couldn't find one single person poo-poo'ing the single stage, and after a long conversation with their customer service dept decided to go that route. Pretty much everything is on sale at Kidd right now, like a lot of armorers around the country during the summer. I had priced out a package a few months ago and it was up around $1100. With the Kidd setup and the Hogue, I'm right at $900 out the door, no tax.

Idholton: Many years ago I bought a heavy stainless Lilja barrel that Dan Lilja had match chambered. I attached it to a Deluxe Ruger 10/22 with the standard factory method and had some trigger work and a barrel channel re-sizing done. I still remember the price for that Lilja barrel from 25 years (or so) ago - $260.00 which was way more than I paid for the then new Ruger Deluxe 10/22! Accuracy was (and is!) pretty good with this rig - even after way more than 100,000 rounds have gone down that tube! I now have a 6x24 power variable scope on it and I can often hit the head of a Ground Squirrel out at 100 yards or so (especially in no wind conditions). I kind of have to disagree with your contention (that 10/22 and tack driver are not in the same sentence) at least as far as this - if someone wants to start out a 10/22 on the road to accuracy then most likely that accuracy in that platform will be intended for small game and Varmint Hunting! If said 22 Long Rifleman wants to compete in rimfire bench rest competitions then more than likely that shooter would start out with a bolt action, single shot of top quality manufacture, already. Yep my Remington 40X 22 L.R. is slightly more accurate but its a single shot and cost WAY more than even my semi-customized Ruger 10/22! As was my Kimber 82-G and maybe even my Kimber Model 22 H/S (Hunter/Silhouette). I have shot along side some of those BR type 22 L.R.'s out in the Ground Squirrel Colonies and what small measure of accuracy I give up to them with my 10/22's I more than make up for in rapid fire without loosing sight picture while the actions are worked/working! My Lilja barreled 10/22 shoots rather well... AND... it shoots rapidly - and I now have a bevy of 10, 15, 25 and 50 round magazines for it! Rapid fire is the baliwick of the Ruger 10/22 and over the decades I have seen some very accurate 10/22's come down the pike (rapid firing as they came!). So I somewhat disagree with your blanket statement. Long live the Ruger 10/22! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

10-22 and tack driver are not in the same sentence Move to Texas. They got bigger tacks. I use small tacks here in Floriduh. That's 5 shots BTW. 10/22 Deluxe of 1970s vintage, only thing done to it was bedding and a Power Custom trigger mod.
I am..........disturbed.

Dan, that's funny. woodson, you'll be pleased to know that I got on the horn first thing this a.m. and had Shaylee swap out the single stage for a 2 stage, red trigger. Had them leave it set at 2.5 lbs. I'll probably adjust it down to 2 lbs. Possibly further, if I feel the need. They are proud of those 2 stage triggers! BTW, and FYI for anybody purchasing from Kidd. They do their shipments on Thursdays. My package was already packed and waiting for the happy truck. So much for a 2 week delay!

my 10/22 is no benchrest, but it shoots nice groups at 50 yrds that most folks would refer to as a tack driver. it is not stock though.

You'll really be pleased with the two stage. It really is a gem.

woodson, I'm guessing it's a really fine trigger. They sure think highly of them. It's only money. Can't take it with you. And since I decided not to travel this week, I've got a few bucks to spend on my kind of bling. Gotta hit the beach now for a nice shrimp Caesar and check out the eye candy. After that, LGS's. Busy, Busy.

What glass you putting on it? I went cheap and put a Nikon 4-12 with mildots on it. Works just fine but I do wish I had chosen a model with an adjustable objective.
