Kidd Supermatch rifles keep up with CZs and Vudoos at our local match. The difference between 1st and 2-10th comes down to the shooter on any particular day. Not the rifle.
I have two Kidd Supergrades. One light weight and one heavy SS barrel.
Both are stunningly accurate with Eley Tenex or Eley Match. Sub .25 " at 50 yards 10 shot groups. At or under 1 MOA at 100 yards. Really cannot tell the difference in accuracy but the heavier one is of course a bit more forgiving of shooter error.

What chassis and what stock is that? I’ve been thinking of going with the Kidd chassis.
Great looking rifle man, seriously.
Guess I better post a pic of my Kidd. It’s a 16” threaded with a 2lb single stage trigger. The stock is steel pillar/block bedded front and rear. It wears an Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27. It is superbly consistent.

I also have a Ruger American that I have accurized. It ain’t no slouch.
Started with a 18” threaded skinny barrel American I bought at my local gun store for $189. I had Rob at Clayton guns cut the barrel to 16” and recrown/rethread it. I did the pen spring mod and left the trigger blade in place and it is 15oz. Yes, 15oz...but is safe because of the blade.
The bolt has been slicked and polished and mag tuned for lowest spring pressure that’ll operate reliably. The barrel hand lapped and the plastic stock has had the bedding blocks “bedded”. With aluminum tape.
It is light and a joy to carry in the woods.
It wears an old PA 4-14FFP mil/mil and the rear sight removed since the front was cut off in the barrel work.
Don’t discount the American. They can be made to shoot and use the best rimfire magazine ever designed. This one is my squirrel gun and I have banged steel way out but have only grouped it at 25yrds. It pops squirrel heads with boring regularity.
