Custom 10/22? Anyone a guru?

As well you should be, you and Joe have set the standard for semi auto benchrest. Keep up the good work and good luck against the bolt guns!
Joe Chacon and Wife Lisa are a class act. Wonderful people, and great benefactors, as well as building the most accurate 10-22's bar none. Seymour Fish
 
I've owned many custom 10/22s. My hands down favorite 10/22 guru is Kidd, the last two I had him do the complete build and couldn't be happier. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

rimfirecentral has a wealth of information on the subject. I'm also happy to answer any questions, feel free to send a PM.
 
I have 4 Kidd barrel custom 10/22's and 3 GM custom 10/22's. My last build was letting Joe Chacon build me one of his custom ABRA 10/22's with a Douglas barrel. None of my 10/22's will touch it. This thing tracks like a dream. It is exceptionally accurate.

I was curious who joe chacon was. Looked him up and he lives 45 min to an hour from me... didnt know about him when i build my KIDD. Im still happy though.
 
First day shooting it produced my best yet with any 10/22 gun I have shot. Joe says it will only get better. Now before someone says my measurement is off just know all 5 shots are inside a Bic ink pen. This gun will shoot with the Suhl 150 Benchmark barrel I had.

There is nothing wrong with a Kidd barrel. But this Douglas barrel Joe put on my custom 10/22 will shoot repeatable groups from the best the Kidd barrels will do occasionally. And it will just keep on doing it.
 
This was from only the 2nd time shooting gun.
