I get that I'm in the minority here, but I just learned that Vudoo stopped making left-handed 360s because it wasn't cost-effective, which makes total sense. Now I need to switch things up. I've got a B14R right now, and I could just stick with it, or maybe I should consider getting a RimX or even grab another B14R and customize the barrel. What a bummer.
Unavailable Lefty Vudoo 360 - What to do now
- Thread starter Himrightthere
- Start date
Our son is a lefty. Shooting a Bergara but he is mighty impressed with my Vudoo. Guess, if he wants to go further, it will have to be with a Rimx (he’s kind of a Zermat fellow anyway shooting an Origin in Centerfire)
I got Manzella Precision to cut and chamber the barrel and my buddy had the tools so he helped me put it all together. I went from a right B14r to the lefty Rimx and it was a huge upgrade.
I don't have any lefties in stock but I should have an extra 360 when my order of lefties comes in. To clarify, this is a back order they owe me from a while back but I was informed this would be the last ones going forward. If someone wants to get a group together of interested people we can see how many it would take to get a batch made.

Confirmed. I asked about parts because I have a couple
Yes, we are discontinuing LH for now. We are considering doing some limited runs of LH actions in the future.
We will still have parts to service LH guns

I'm quite encouraged to hear that Vudoo may not step back completely from LH. The Vudoo brand/reputation is evolving for many reasons that are none of my business but providing LH actions is a very reasonable expectation of a leading market player. Maybe some of the magazine issues have been difficult for both sides but continuing LH actions is so doable ... take the easy win says I.

This is such a depressing thread. I got a Vudoo with a majority of my decision being LH availability, and chassis and trigger options to go with it. I recently finally found a LH CZ457 so I'm building that up and begging @MDT_OFFICIAL to make the ACC Premier gen2 in a lefty CZ457 inlet. I'll take a dremel to a right-handed action if I have to, but would rather not.

If Vudoo wants to drop lefties, that’s obviously their prerogative, but I will drop them right back.
I won’t even consider giving my business to someone who doesn’t want it and who feels no obligation to support me. AI has been burning me on this one for far too long for me to want to extend the pain to other companies.
Thankfully there are other manufacturers who care enough about us that this is an easy decision.

I'm struggling to have faith in that. I've stopped using my Vudoos because I don't know what the answer to "what if something breaks?" will be in X number of years and don't trust VGW anymore. I could buy 5 or 10 full sets of parts as insurance against that broken trust, but I'm not that rich right now.
What are you worried about breaking? plenty of 50,000 plus round vudoos on original parts?
What does it matter? If replacement parts dry up, it won't matter which one breaks, it's a paperweight.
The action itself and the bolt are what makes it a left hand or right hand.
I am confident skilled gunsmiths can address anything that my owning two and Vudoo’s word that they’ll have parts won’t address. I also drive old cars. Nothing is manufactured forever, but most mechanical systems can be kept working a long long time. 
it’s not something I plan to lose a lot of sleep over despite shooting a lot and a lot of matches.

Yeah, confidence is key. I wish I had your confidence.I am confident skilled gunsmiths can address anything that my owning two and Vudoo’s word that they’ll have parts won’t address.

I emailed Vudoo to see if they can sell me a bolt parts kit - firing pin, spring, extractor, etc. - so I can be confident in my rifle working for the near future even if a small part breaks. They refused, claiming they need to have the action in house to set the headspace. That's pure bullshit.
I agree, but also: Be prepared. - Boy scouts 101
Okay. That is why I have two. ( Two is one and one is none. ) i was able to obtain a spare firing pin and spring and an action wrench previously.
I understand your frustration.
Agreed, headspace is set via the action body, bolt body, and bolt nose. Depending on your requirements and expectations, there is a 50-50 chance that headspace would be correct.
