Seem to remember them coming out within 6-12 months of buying my stainless one back in the mid 90's. I was spewing as I would've stumped the extra for one.
Mind you I did machine the breech face back (and the corresponding amount on the barrel shoulder) to allow the bullet to just engrave/center on the rifling in an effort to quasi tighten the looseish chamber. Machined up a nylon buffer pin-had to the right size wasn't around
That was a PITA but not many around kiwiland back then. Good scope mounts too so no dramas there.
I loctited the barrel in as well. Back in the day when I grouped it trying out ammo it would put Winchester power points between 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups at 50. depending on where I put my head as the weaver 2-10 on it has a little parallax. If I did my part it always hit what I wanted. Never blamed the gun that's for sure

Good with a good trigger nowhere near a kidd though

My kidd would outshoot most Factory bolt action’s and on par with target rifles out to 50m ltleast
I shot mine in interclub Competition against guys with flash anshutz target rifles etc etc
And I wasn’t at a disadvantage they both shot on par with a good shooter

What sort of accuracy do you get at 50m?

I've shot Darin's (the kidd agent) gun, it is obscenely accurate. A steady breath in, then out, then drill 5 shots through a single hole. I've never shot anything remotely like it. He's a good dude to deal with too

At 25 10 shots one hole just a touch bigger than a 22 projectile
50m 10 shots into maybe a 30cal hole possibly smaller
Never really needed to measure the groups as it was weather they all went in the bull that mattered
I sold mine when I got out of competition shooting
Regretting it every day and can’t afford another one
I was doing sporting rifle
I doubt there as good as a proper small bore gun
