\"KIDD<\/a><\/p>\n

These are both Ruger 10\/22 style semi-automatic rifles built for shooting .22LR with maximum accuracy. On top is an $860 rifle built entirely by KIDD Innovative Design<\/a>. The receiver and trigger are milled from aluminum, and the bolt from hardened steel. The single-stage trigger is also a crisply machined assembly that adjusts down to a pull of just 1.5 pounds. The lightweight barrel is guaranteed to group inside of half an inch at 50 yards. The gun here is screwed into a comfortable $100 ProMag Archangel Target stock<\/p>\n

Do you have to spend $1000 to get an accurate .22 rifle? Expert barrel maker Fred Feddersen<\/a> says one of his $170 barrels will turn an off-the-rack Ruger into a gun that can compete with any custom autoloader. So the second gun shown is a standard Ruger 10\/22 receiver and bolt onto which I swapped Feddersen’s barrel. Of course I don’t think I can really shoot that well with a standard trigger, so to be fair I bought another $200 KIDD trigger assembly for it. The gun is shown here screwed into a beautiful $175 Tactical Solutions Vantage laminated stock.<\/p>\n

I tested these for precision last year<\/a>. This time, with a few more ammo types, I also tested all ammo both with and without a suppressor.<\/p>\n

Testing<\/h2>\n

Both guns were cleaned and then shot through the following sequence of 40gr subsonic target loads:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 30 rounds SK Plus<\/li>\n
  2. 25 rounds SK Match<\/li>\n
  3. 15 rounds Eley Match<\/li>\n
  4. 40 rounds CCI SV<\/li>\n
  5. 40 rounds Aguila SuperExtra<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All rounds were fed from the same transparent Ruger 10-round box magazine. This time the KIDD ran with no hiccups whatsoever. The Feddersen-barreled Ruger, shot second, had one failure to feed with the CCI and one with the Aguila.<\/p>\n

    The raw data and calculations can be downloaded here<\/a>. The targets are shown at the end of this post. Summary analysis:<\/p>\n

    The precision is roughly in line with that measured last year, with a few notable exceptions:<\/p>\n
