Wife loves my 10/22 ( with Tac-sol barrel, Timney trigger, nice Bushnell 2-7 scope on it). She has claimed it as hers but given me permission to get a new one. I've got a 1300 bucks budget, I've already got a 455 CZ that I love, but a badass .22 semi is missing. I'm leaning toward a KIDD or KIDD super match l(do their non match barrels do as well as their match barrels?), but not sure if there is anyone else in the "laser straight shooting" club that I'm not aware of.

I have a Kidd with the extra light trigger and heavy SS barrel. Shoots 1/2"-3/4" @ 100 yards.

This is a Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that’s much to shout about. That’s like saying ‘Oh good, I’ve got syphilis, the best of the sexually transmitted diseases!

I'm putting together a rifle using all Kidde parts except the barrel, I went with a Feddersen 16.25" fluted, threaded barrel.
Their reviews are right up there with Kidde at a slightly lower cost. If Feddersen made a blued receiver, I would have used it, but since they don't I have a Kidde coming in. The nice thing about the Feddersen receiver is that it comes with an integral picatinny rail. |

1300 for a .22? You can't be serious. You can buy 2 .223's for that!

I paid almost that much just for the iron sights on mine. Ditto for the price of the stock. Did I mention the price of the scope?
That snarky comment is pure "General Discussion". The author makes no point and apparently has nothing to contribute. Neither do I,as the OP asked about semiauto rifles. I hated my 10-22. It was inaccurate and nothing would make it better. This was in the era just before the aftermarket developed and made the 10-22 what it is today. I sold that hunk of junk. Later I bought a "real" rifle (Remington Model 37) and have since purchased another "real" rimfire rifle based on an Anschutz 1813 barreled action. Both are seriously excellent. Unfortunately, I am not (but I try hard). |

I have a Kidd Ultra Light Barrel from before they started fluting them. They are lazers. 25yds it's a single hole gun with CCI SV.
Right now I'm trying to find some ammo that holds a tighter group at 300yds. I have almost everything on a factory ruger receiver. Having played with the kidd two stage, I think I like the single stage drop in better. Kidd's two stage is not like a geissele, it's not bad per say, but I wasn't left impressed |

I have a kidd lightweight 16" threaded barrel on my 10/22 in a magpul hunter stock. It's a hunting / yard varmit/ plinking rifle. It shoots 1/2" at 50yd with some kinds of cheaper ammo. I've tried all in my stockpile, about 21 different loads. I have not tried any really good ammo yet though. Until I got the barrel, there was no reason to get green tag, eley, sk, wolf match, etc. 1/2" with cci sv, win white box, fed automatch not complaining. The worst groups were 3/4 7/8", and I can't remember what they were.
I would love to get a kidd supergrade. Everything I have seen or read has said they are the best of the semi auto 22s. A kidd receiver with rear tang, kidd trigger, and a lilja barrel sounds appealing too. |

It got here!!! and it is DEFNITLY NOT a 10/22. the action has ZERO slop in the bolt when you push on the bolt handle, and the trigger is easily the best I own. Cant wait till sunday when I get a day off to play with it. (got glass, but my budget was blown so PA FFP 4-14, vortex rings)
