Putting a Kidd barrel on a Ruger receiver is a bit like putting a Ferrari engine in a Hyundai. I say go for a Kidd barrel in a Kidd receiver.

If your starting a build from scratch I'd say absolutely go with an aftermarket receiver. But if you already have a Ruger receiver there's nothing wrong with putting an aftermarket barrel on it. The receiver (assuming there's nothing wrong with it) really has no effect on accuracy. I've had some great builds using Ruger oem receivers, including my most recent one here.

What is the barrel & stock?

Thank you. It's a Kidd barrel, guide rod & charging handle, and Trigger Kit in an aftermarket cnc housing, CPC'd oem receiver & bolt, and the stock was made by RFC member lbjennings (aka Larry Jennings).

Nothing too fancy, I did a Shaw barrel on my 10-22 Sporter. With a 2x7 Vortex at 50 yards it will hit squirrel head targets all day long.
