How has that barrel bolt combo performed accuracy-wise?

Too soon to say as I haven't shot it past 25 yards. But at 15 yards it puts three round in one jagged hole. More concerned with the reliability of extracting rounds manually. The Bentz chambers have a bit of a reputation for not wanting to extract unless you're actually firing the gun. Have not shot that barrel at a match yet which is about the only time manually ejecting a round matters for me.
I can sing the praises of the Kidd bolt though. With a factory barrel in a Tuf receiver it runs flawlessly. Have fired hundred (maybe a thousand) rounds through that setup. Had two failures, one was ammo for sure, the other I suspect was too.

If you get a chance, it'd be nice to see some groups at 50 with ammo it likes. I'm considering one of those barrels myself.
here is my contribution, had a little competition with buddy from work, i lost a shootout, this gun wasn’t a part of the competition, my ole’ lakefield with a vintage scope, and a mix bag of different ammo, couldn’t keep up with the brand new savage, so now Rug will have to represent next match, i need to make it more accurate, any sugestions? beside the Dlask barrel and archangel stock it’s all stock
oh u betch u donkey i’m bringing my best ammo, no more mixing different makes in a soft bag

My EE special next to my grandfathers original, all ruger parts just bought on the EE from various sellers, 3D printed mag adapter and mag light on a super rugged mount lol, it’s ridiculous but that’s the point

little on a heavy side, would like it lighter, im going to try it without the v shim next time, I dont feel any difference between it and MDT but Ive never really paid attention to it that much in that context

Thank you for the reply.
Spent all kinds of time designing my 3D printed chassis so I figured I should put together a cool little shorty build. Had to print a slightly longer buffer tube to keep it over 26" collapsed without the flash hider on. 3lb 13oz with the red dot. 
lol, no way, the rod and the ball pin hammer are for the muzzy and iron sight guns that make a trip with me
Nice. I'm curious what the weight might be?
Just checked, it’s 4lb 11oz without a mag
My daughters project stock. Dad and Opa helped. So a three generation project!
SBI pistol grip mount from a G2 chassis and hogue grip. Rocker guard spray paint. Might add a buttpad. Was originally cut down for her when she was really little.

Been meaning to do this for some time but don't spend much time online these days other than to watch utube since I got rid of satellite TV last fall.
I've had a 1976 built 10/22 carbine since around 1990. Totally stock until a year ago when I bought an ATI Fiberforce stock for it to lighten it up. Nice little pew-pew for packing around the acreage and currently have a Bushnell 4X-32 rimfire scope on it. Also replaced the dovetail mount shown in the first pic with a picatinny one.
This year on the Ides of March I picked up a 2016 model with an Archangel adjustable stock for more precision shooting that I'm just beginning to get into. I measured out a 100yd range starting in the back yard, visible to people driving by on the 2-lane highway my place is on, going past the shop and chicken coop to the northwest corner of my dugout. The farmer who leases the field beside us seeded from east to west this year and missed a nice wedge that I paced out to be 200yds from it to near the southwest corner of the dugout where I plan to set up a solid shooting table once I build one. I'll go out with my 100ft tape measure and get it exact soon but got a text today that he plans to spray this week so don't want anything set up until he does that. Had to ##### him out last fall for spraying while the breeze was blowing our way without warning us so we could cover stuff still in the garden and close in the coop. Aerial spraying the year before the same thing happened so 3 strikes and I told him I'll be raising hell with the authorities.
This gun has an adjustable trigger the previous owner says is tuned down to 1.5lbs. There is absolutely no markings on the trigger block at all so is that a Ruger OEM trigger or something else? He says he bought the gun new and hardly used it so why he was selling it. I also got the Ruger composite stock with it.
As it came.
After putting a new, but bought from a private seller online, chinesium scope in it. A Discovery VT-R 4-12x42 AOE rimfire. Has the 3rd turret parallax and flip up covers and seems to work just fine so good enough for now for $50. Need to see if I'm any good at distance shooting before dropping serious coin on something better. The flash really darkened the stock but the pic above is closer to it's true colour.
If anyone has a link to some plans for a sturdy shooting table I can build out of odds and ends of lumber I have laying around I'd appreciate a hookup.
