new kidd supergade

[golden_311]

Just received my kidd supergrade the other day. I duracoated it and then threw it in the truck with the family to pick up a trailer at our ranch. decided to pull it out to sight it in. after shooting at a rock 6 times at about 50 yards to see how clos it was, it seemed dead on. i noticed a squirrel nearby and figured it was at 50 yards and shots seven and eight went without touching him. decided to slow down and focus. then i took the ninth shot out of this rifle and smoked him. needless to say, i kind of enjoy this gun. here is a pic from after duracoating it and one with my kid trying to look through the scope. attached is a sparrow. i put him up in the truck for safety reasons (they won't stop running around till they are caged.)

Re: new kidd supergade

You will love it. I had Tony build one for me, scary accurate but as usual, I sold it to fund another project.

Great to see your son shooting, great way to startem out!

Re: new kidd supergade

whats nice is the clear see through caps. he is trained not to even come close to scratching the glass.

I've always heard positive feedback with Kidd rifles so I decided to place an order. After submitting a order and being charged 12% sales tax I canceled my order. I did manage to pick up a used Kidd and enjoy shooting it, too bad I couldn't order to my custome needs.

Looks great! Thanks for the pics.

I just picked up the same rifle, Kidd Supergrade with the bolt, trigger and all the goodies. Have to put it together next and get it to the range.

Are you sure that it was 12% I think it was 11% and was the Federal exise tax that every firearms company is required to charge. They even say it on their web site.

I missed the chance at one a few months back. Great rifle I believe they shoot 1/2 at 50yds from the factory. Yeah that exise tax sucks. Hard to find one used though.

I appreciate the fact that the lads trigger finger is properly indexed along side of the trigger guard. Nice rifle too by the way.

Maybe you're right about 11% but that's still insane. Lady told me it was clearly sales tax they had to charge. Thanks, I'll pass.

Re: new kidd supergade

Yeah, any company that produces Firearms and sells them to the public is required to charge an excise tax (federal sales tax) of 11%. Nothing they can do about it.

Re: new kidd supergade

Yup, its a 11% excise. Once your shoot you first group out of a Kidd Supermatch you'll forget all about the costs... fantastic accuracy and they almost make it too easy to shoot so well.

Only on complete firearms. I ordered mine complete except for a stock (I can manage that on my own). No excise ;-)
