Message: <blockquote data-quote="aarondhgraham" data-source="post: 4194842" data-attributes="member: 13337">So there I was thinking about my Budget build list,,,And I thought I would go the opposite direction.Here's the component list for a build,,,Using nothing but KIDD components.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>10/22 Build - KIDD</td><td></td><td>Available</td><td>Item</td></tr><tr><td>Starting Balance</td><td>1,200.00 </td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Receiver</td><td>-242.00 </td><td>958.00 </td><td>KIDD Aftermarket Black .22LR Receiver Classic Slip Fit Model</td></tr><tr><td>Bolt</td><td>-141.00 </td><td>817.00 </td><td>KIDD .22LR Bolt -Black Matte</td></tr><tr><td>Trigger</td><td>-285.00 </td><td>532.00 </td><td>KIDD Single Stage Trigger Black</td></tr><tr><td>Barrel</td><td>-358.00 </td><td>174.00 </td><td>KIDD 18" fluted barrel, black, polished, threaded</td></tr><tr><td>Stock</td><td>-69.95 </td><td>-853.95 </td><td>Magpul - MOE® X-22 Stock – Ruger® 10/22</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$1,095.95 </td><td></td><td></td></tr></table>Basically that eats the entire $1,200 up,,,And I haven't figured Transfer fee, tax, or shipping.And then there's the scope to consider,,,I would "guesstimate" at least $3-400 bucks for a quality optic.So there's the High End build.Here's the Low End build.<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Budget Build</td><td></td><td>Available</td><td>Item</td></tr><tr><td>Starting Balance</td><td>1,200.00 </td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Complete Receiver set</td><td>-259.99 </td><td>940.01 </td><td>Ruger - 10/22 Complete Receiver – BX Target Trigger version</td></tr><tr><td>Barrel</td><td>-202.00 </td><td>738.01 </td><td>Shaw - 10/22® .920 BULL BARREL 18" BLUED STRAIGHT FLUTES THREADED</td></tr><tr><td>Stock</td><td>-69.95 </td><td>668.06 </td><td>Magpul - MOE® X-22 Stock – Ruger® 10/22</td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>$531.11 </td><td></td><td></td></tr></table>In both cases I have selected the least expensive stock I could find,,,My thinking here is that choosing a stock is very personal.It might work out that I offer a fixed amount of cash,,,So my friend can pick out the stock he likes best.If I build one 10/22 clone (is that what they are called?),,,I might want to build another one for myself,,,Having a spare stock could be handy.Again, this is all speculation,,,I'm still waiting on the 10/22 book I ordered.No decisions will be made,,,And no components will be ordered,,,Until I've devoured all of the books knowledge.In any event I now have a better understanding,,,Of just how far my $1,200 can go.But just to speculate a bit further,,,My thinking after being a shooter for decades now,,,Is that the most important component is the trigger assembly.The accuracy of the most precise action and barrel,,,Can be negated by a bad trigger.Conversely, a mediocre rifle can be greatly enhanced,,,By the use of a "good" trigger.That's been my experience anyhow,,,Aarond.</blockquote>
