I’ve never seen or held on in person but I’m sure they are nice! Look forward to your thought when you take it out to the range!
Hit the range this morning with the new stock on the rifle. It is definitely a hit!
The magpul stock was DEFINITELY Affecting accuracy. There was a 2 inch POI shift from the old stock to the new stock down. So obviously the stock was pushing the barrel up.
The new VICTOR TITAN stock increased accuracy.
Now it was a much more comfortable grip angle. The rear hook really let me settle the bag into a good spot also. Maybe it was the free floating barrel now? Who knows all I know is I grouped much better with it.
I completed the 1/2" challenge today with the new stock. Still using SK Match.
It was no easy feat, some of my most amazing groups being one small ragged hole and then the next group I would fly one a bit off.
I had some groups that looked like 2 or three holes with 5 shots. I was happy. I think better ammo can get it even tighter though.
The 5 shown is definitely what I would say average and what happens when I do my part. I didnt have any SUPER amazing groups but I didnt fly any wild ones.

Amazing and congrats on completing the challenge!
I think you have inspired me to try this challenge out, I think my dar22 is up for it!

I think most are.
I have never used one of their barrels but the rest of the parts are top notch.
Most of the guys at the range are surprised it runs match and standard velocity ammo. Claiming their 10/22's all need High velocity ammo to run smooth.
Quality parts run smooth! Match ammo all day!
Next on the docket is a fun shoot on the 22nd and then tree rats open on the 25th !
Also of course trying other ammo's to see if they shoot better or not then the SK MATCH lol

I usually just plink and do some gopher shooting. My setup is pretty similar to yours, I’ve got kidd Ultra light barrel and two stage trigger group ( which I really like! ). I’ll punch some paper next time I’m out!
So what’s next? I saw you were looking at those Tikka rimfire rifles, as am I! Lol
I just have always loved 17 hmr for hunting small game.
The 22 is more a range toy/bench gun.
Whats next is even more premium ammo to see if I can get consistent groups in the .200's
Some more groups from today. This rifle is a shooter! I would say it matches my annie. I cant wait for more premium ammo to come in so I can try it out!

Only some dry fire with snap caps. It wont be super enjoyable to shoot free hand. The barrel is very heavy.
There are squirrel hunters who don't touch their guns from one year to the next...then there are guys like Canadiankeeper. lol Those things won't know what hit them! (though it sounds like match grade ammo 
) CK~might be time to grab a Waltz kit, and turn your favorite match ammo into big, nasty hollow points! If you were closer to me (40 minutes north of Toronto) I'd run some through for you to test.

Hahaha damn! Ill will have to google the kit right now.
I have been eyeing up the tikka t1x really hard...
I am super fancy about the idea of a matching t1x and a t3x with 4-12 Leupolds ontop of them. 22lr and a 22-250. Just because. Lol
^sounds more OCD-ish than me CK...better be careful. lol
The Neal Waltz kit is worth having for sure, has to be the coolest 22LR gadget/accessory out there. Offer is open if you want to send me some ammo to run through it.
I bought the same stock and just got it today, haven't test it at the range yet but it's clearly a better upgrade from Boyds stock, a bit more lighter as well.
The angel of the grip is Ok, I'm quite use to A5 stock (I have like 5 of them) but take a bit practice, it should be fine.
All the features are really a bit plus, an option with picatiny rail for Atlas bipod is really awesome.
The bad part is there is a bit of flex at the front of the stock, you can basically push it from left to right like 2 to 3mm but tighten up the action screw is start to help a bit.
We will see once I hit the range this Wednesday. Hopefully mine is shooting great like CanadianKeeper.

Here are a few photos, just came back from the range after 5 hours session, I got sores eyes and exhausted but grouping is finally pay it off.
It's rainy day and a bit of windy close to 20km/h but still there aren't a lots of flyers like in Boyds stock. I will shot it again and post the grouping once the weather is a bit better.
