Well, you certainly have all of the right parts. It should be a "shooter".

 

Very nice looking. That scope is especially something. Looking forward to updates. Good luck with your health issues.

 

I've never seen that version of a Hogue overmold stock. Is it discontinued?

 

The stock is a Boyd Pro Varmint. It originally had the Hogue stock

The OP stated that it is a Boyds Pro Varmint stock.

What is that band around the scope above the charging handle?

 

I'm going to guess it is a bubble level.

 

Correct. Scope level.

 

Makes sense now that I know. Just started learning about rifles in the last few weeks.

 

I had surgery on my leg this morning so maybe I will be able to get out to the range soon. One thing I wanted to point out was that after I added the Kidd rear tang to the receiver it removed all play between the barreled action and the stock. I figured I was not skilled enough to inlet the stock for the tang so I searched around and found George Gillespie who runs Sonoran Gunstocks in Tucson Arizona. Have Kidd ship the tang to him. You will have to send him your stock. I bought a cheap plastic gun case on Amazon.

 

I thought George G. retired a while back due to health issues.

 

Headspacing a .22? That sounds like having the mechanic change out the summer air in your tires for winter air. Rimmed cartridges headspace off of the rim, unlike rimless cartridges which headspace off of the case mouth, or shouldered cartridges which headspace off of the case shoulder.

 

10-22 bolt face recess dressed back to .043 instead of.047+

 

Some years ago I bought a used standard 10-22 carbine. There was a gunsmith at my club who offered to accurise for $100. This consisted of setting headspace, Chamber reaming and trigger work. It was quite a bit better. I was using it to shoot clay pigeons on the berm at 100 yards. Fun.
I purchased a Hogue overmoulded stock. There used to be a website called “Major Pandemic” that rated various 1-22 upgrades that really liked Feddersen barrels so I bought an 18” tapered one that fit the Hogue stock.
Then I got the Kidd bug. Installed the 2 stage trigger, Bolt, Pins with screws ,V block, Bolt and bolt bumper, Charging handle & springs, Action screw.
Finally I got a Kidd receiver and rear tang.
Inatalled all this in a Boyd Pro Varmint stock.
The scope is a Leupold 45 x 45 Competition
Except for the magazines there are no Ruger parts.
How does it shoot? I have been having health problems and have been unable to get out to the range but plan to soon. More later.

Nice rig!

 

Sounds like a great rifle, hope you feel well soon so you can try it out.

 

THANK YOU!
