Ultralight 10/22 build

Son and I are doing an Appleseed clinic next weekend. I built him an light weight 10/22 for the occasion.
Started with a stock hardwood 10/22
Kidd ULW threaded barrel
Blackhawk Axiom stock
Pike Arms extended rail
Volquartsen target hammer and extractor
Crossfire extended mag release
Weaver quadlock rings
Weaver RV7 scope
I radiused the rear of the bolt and added the auto bolt release myself.
4lbs 8oz as it sits right now. The weight will be closer to 5lbs once I swap the stock out for a Magpul CTR and add the 3/4" riser to it. It started around 6.5 lbs. Changing the scope to the weaver knocked off 8oz. The barrel knocked off another 9oz. The rest of the weight loss was in the stock which was right at a pound. For a 11yo the weight makes a huge difference in handling.

I have been shooting a Rimfire Rifle in steel challenge with a tactical solutions X-ring. It weights 3.7lbs, and you want to talk about fun speed shooting with that thing!
I sure your son with love shooting that thing! Those Kidd barrels are tack drivers.

If you don't mind me asking, how much $$ do you have in the gun, including the stock 10/22?
I'm thinking about buying a 10/22 and do I g something similar.

The rail and scope rings still look a little “husky” to me. Talleys ftw.
