Are you going to drop off Mrs. CMO too?  How are you going to ensure the eye relief is set for her?

If you want, I can meet you folks at the range and help you folks set it up.

Crap, forgot about that part. Maybe gonna hold off for today.

Mrs.cmo's 22 is done.

FOCUS...... Clearly not a bolt action like the thread title states but since we're here, remind us what we're looking at. IIRC that's a Kidd barelled action? So is that a Supergrade with the threaded barrel/receiver? 2 stage or single?

I got some ammo for her to try just as long as she's not going full mag dumps  :rofl: Looks like I got to dust off the precision stuff and bring out the "hurt your feelings" targets.

No focus.

Stock is Boyd, everything else is Kidd. Trigger is single action.

Looks like a nice build. I'm certain it'll shoot well.  :thumbsup: on the single stage.

Hit a road block, the scope front end touches the barrel. So need either higher rings or a riser of some sort.  Current rigns are Leupold mid level or something.

:(

I have Leupold MK IV medium and there's BARELY enough room for my scope.  I probably should switch to slightly taller rings as putting the scope any further forward, I would likely want to go to higher rings.  There's a ramped section of the scope mount section on the gun that I have that leaves space, but with the scope slightly further back.  My stock allows for enough adjustment to make it, at least I'm comfortable with it for now.  The rings came off of a different gun and I a$$umed that it would work fine and didn't check. 

When you get around to mocking up your scope for new rings, I've found that the pennies method on the American Rifle Company website is pretty useful.  If you go with scope caps, be sure to have them when you mock things up.

What made you choose the Kidd?

I did some reading just now (lunch break and meeting cancelled due to weather) on Kidd.  Found some good info, but I though the forums on centerfire precision rifles were bad, the .22lr semi-auto and competition groups are way worse.   :rofl:

I think she choose KIDD because the guys who we shoot with, most have KIDDS and she likes their rifles.  Affordable and accurate for the price.  Her 1st draft choice was this other company who's rifles start at $3K. Not Anschulz, but another company who has mainly metal framed, cool looking , bright colors.  I can't remember the name right now.

Ahh, this was Mrs. CMO's choice.  Seeing what others have is always a factor, especially if the initial experience with them is positive. 

$3k for a semi-auto .22 lr rifle?  Whoa!  :o

Now that's a slippery slope that I don't want to get anywhere near.  I'm already at risk with the BA .22 lr rifles. . .  ;D  That said, I'm not swayed by color schemes.  Black, brown, grey, or variations of all fine.

100%. That's how I wound up with my Savage, a few months to play with one. I believe I've sold at least one Apachee Trigger by letting others take a few shots. And I know I've saved one shooter a bunch of cash when he took a few shots with my brand new Vortex Diamondback Tactical and changed his plans.

So much fun. 22 Fevah!

I long wanted a Savage Mark II because a few friends had them and I enjoyed shooting them.  They are inexpensive and readily available.  Good gun especially to have kids shoot as they are quite low maintenance, at least my perception. 

I went with a CZ 457 after more research, but I still think a Savage BA 22 would serve my current desires well to dip my toes into .22 rifles and plinking.  That said, the CS 457 does have more options for upgrading, which I may or may not do.

Or, you can always get a bolt action. . .

 :shaka:  This weekend looks to be windy.  Also, I heard that the right side of the rifle range was all muddy and mud covered all the target post holes.
Honolulu Marathon this Sunday. 

This weekend doesn't look good.  Ammo should be in by next weekend, I hope.  :worship:
