I like your rifle -- great groups!!

I was curious -- my VQ carbon-fiber barrel has a bentz chamber that does not allow Stingers to be used --- shorter than standard but longer than match. Did your Kidd have a bentz chamber that accommodated Stingers or a standard chambering? If standard, could you have gotten your Kidd with a bentz chamber too short for Stingers? Special order?


Does your present chamber cause the bullet to engrave the rifling?
