Reviews & Ratings for KIDD Innovative Design 10/22 20in Non-Fluted, Match Stainless Steel Bull Barrel Bead Non-Threaded — 17 reviews — Page 1

This was a great product I’m very happy with the product I used it to improve my 10/22

First of all, Optics Planet was great as usual and the barrel was easy to install, as I put the receiver in the hot sun and had the barrel in the AC, about 25 deg. difference not including the extra heat from direct sunlight.
I then did a quick barrel check with a bore light to look for any spoil from the factory, which there was none. Winchester Super X hollow point at 1300 fps. rated on the box. Nothing special there, just a quality rimfire ammo. I put my 49.00 Amazon scope on the rifle and walked the bullet holes to the bullseye. Not looking for groups yet as the directions say. But 20 rounds in I could see that I had an exceptionally accurate barrel. So I used a 3/8" bullseye at 50 yds, with the otherwise stock 10/22, including the stock trigger group. I have pretty decent trigger control with any trigger that is acceptable, but of course a lighter more crisp break is much better for checking true accuracy potential. Still had very little problem keeping the rounds inside the 3/8" bullseye at the 50 yds I was shooting. Can't wait to see what this is capable of when I do a trigger upgrade.

Tight fit into the receiver. Very accurate with the ammo it likes and tends to jam up with ammo it doesn't due to a tight chamber. Quality made barrel.

I’ve bought and built more than a few higher end precision barrels and have never experienced the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that this $230 Kidd barrel presents. I have no idea how they can sell this level of quality for less than some basic nitride steel barrels cost but here it is!
The chamber and bore has a mirror finish and the non threaded crown is beautifully finished without a spec of tool marks left.
The polished exterior and engraving are even and elegant. The SS barrel looks phenomenal in my black Victor Titan stock.
1/2” groups are on autopilot @50 with SK and Eley match extra.
But again, this level of craftsmanship in a bolt gun or a precision AR would easily cost >$500

KIDD barrels are the best period. Don't need to waste your time on anything else unless you don't mind less quality and performance.

Just installed on my 10/22. With Eley ammo I shot a 0.362 5 shot group at 50 yards. Looking pretty good.

Very nice machine work and finish. So far, the best group is 0.703 not great but not bad. Still checking to see what ammo the barrel likes.

Get the barrel i installed it and get .35 t0.39 10 shot groups at 50yrds, excellent barrel, fit and finish is very good, bore is excellent hand lapped and polished.

Had a green mountain barrel first that shot decent can't complain for the price but not the accuracy I was looking for, decided to drop the coin I have everything Kidd but the receiver. This barrel with SK long range averaged a .37 that was ten five shot groups! That competes with my CZ457 MTR impressive if you ask me. Save your money y'all and just wait to get Kidd stuff it doesn't even compare there 2 stage trigger is one of the best triggers I've felt in any caliber.

Great customer service from Optic Planet. Barrel finish was great and fit the factory receiver tight. Fist 10 shot group with Tac-22 at 50 yards measured .624. Very happy with the Kidd barrel.
