Kidd trigger group?

[xbimmers]

Is the Kidd trigger group for the Ruger 10-22 really worth $300? Feedback please.

Also, does anyone know the best place to buy this trigger group for the best price?

I am also wondering how good are these components compared to volquartsen...I'm looking to get a complete build...if I can scrape up the dough that is...

My neighbor has this in his 10/22 and from a recent trip to the range, it's like the trigger is perfected to the nano scale. there are no crimps,creaks,give,loseness of any kind. I believe his was rated at 2.5 pounds afaik.

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! It is leaps and bounds better than the volquartsen. It is second to NONE! I have to say it is absolutely the best trigger i've ever pulled in my life for anything firing bullets with powder. The only trigger i've felt that was cleaner was an airgun trigger with a 2.5oz trigger. You could breathe on it wrong and it'd go off. The KIDD trigger you can set to a minimum of 3oz first stage and 6oz second or up to 1.25lb first stage and 2.5lbs second for break. They are incredible with the flat blade trigger and I highly recommend them. You won't know until you try and fire one, but it really IS that good.

I've put one of their triggers and barrels on my 10/22...probably one of the best aftermarket moves I've done for any of my rifles. The KIDD trigger is amazing! Smooth, consistant, adjustable and leaves the factory Volquartsen trigger in the dust.

Not to mention, when you order from them, his wife politely and efficiently takes your order... it's a small, family run business.

[bombadillo]

Yeah, it was really cool calling down there one time asking about barrels before they released who the maker of their barrel was on their website and tony kid himself answers the phone. Thats kind of a neat testament to their local family run business when him or his wife pick up. He really knows his stuff.

Amazing trigger yes? Worth it? It depends on your application. If you have to have the best trigger possible then yes. If its just a plinker no. If I had to have the best for my guns or if I was building a ultimate tack driver Id buy it.

Hands-down better than the Volquartzen.

I have played with both and built a gun on the Volquartzen. The next gun I build (already got the billet receiver!) will have a Kidd.

Absolutely worth it.

For my plinkers I use the Volquartzen drop-in hammer/sear combo. It's the best $75 trigger job out there

I have one and love it!

So BDSMCHS you will do the work yourself on the receiver? I thought about it but Kidd's receivers are threaded so I'm a little timid as I don't have gunsmith-ing tools to measure torque and also mod the stock to fit the rear tang on the receiver.
I am seriously thinking of getting the Supergrade barreled action from Kidd. After seeing how many of you's like the Kidd trigger over Volquartsen I have made my mind on going with Kidd components.

Now the problem is funding....any one interested in a Gamo air rifle? Look Below!

I have heard it is the best money can buy. Everyone that I have talked to that owns one, swear by them as well. I spend a lot of time on rimfirecentral. There the 10/22 is the forums main topic, and Tony Kidd himself is a member.

So is it worth the $300, well I am going to find out for myself someday in the near future. Then I will be able to tell you first hand. But if you get one before I do please repost and give me your thoughts, as I am always open to hearing others opinions.

Sorry, misunderstanding. I have a 10/22 billet receiver, but it's not the Kidd receiver. I actually have the Nodak Spud NDS-22.

[xbimmers]

Pictures please......where did you get it and how much?

I've got an OD green one from before they had to re-anodize a batch and moly-coated them. Mine's the NDS-22R, railed model. It's not shown on that page. Looks like he's totally redoing his design.

[xbimmers]

Do you know if they are sold at any local stores? I live in Los Angeles....I don't like shipping to an FFL and paying over $75 because I bought from another gun seller....
