[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 4196025, member: 13337"] I've done just that,,, Looked at KIDD rifles I mean,,, I've never checked to see what rifles the winning shooters use. I'm certain that KIDD could sell me a tack drivin'/bug bustin'/lights out shootin' rifle,,, But then I wouldn't get the experience of building the dang thing myself. I'm not trying to brag here,,, But I could purchase (without hurting myself),,, Any of the top of the line precision rimfire rifles out there. This initial build is meant to be a labor of love,,, It wouldn't mean the same if I simply purchased a rifle. Although I have been thinking about one aspect,,, I'm leaning toward the "budget build" I have priced out. This is my first attempt at this,,, Maybe it would be better to practice building,,, On Brownell's components rather than the pricier KIDD parts. If I build a decent shooter, more the satisfaction,,, But if I do build a less than precision rifle,,, I'll just peddle it off whole or in parts. Then make the decision whether to try the build again,,, With new knowledge and better components,,, Or break down and purchase a gift rifle. In any event nothing will happen,,, Until I've devoured the contents of my 10/22 book. It should be here tomorrow. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
