Bedding A Vudoo Action

[Gjmen22]

I will hopefully be receiving my new Vudoo V22 with the Grayboe Ridgeback stock and a 20" MTU profile barrel within a month. My question is... is everyone bedding their actions? How much does bedding help? I know I'm sure it varies from action to action and from stock to stock. Just trying to get an idea if it's even worth doing. If you are bedding, how far forward of the action lug are you bedding? Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you, Gjmen22

In for replies. Also while on the subject why is the recoil lug different? I understand there is no recoil but it would have less surface area for bedding.

All of mine are in JAE chassies Or KRG Bravo stocks. I have none of them bedded. They seem to shoot fine.

I run mine in a chassis without bedding...but here is a screenshot from Grayboe FAQ:

I run mine in Foundation stock and AI AT chassis. No bedding.

Foundation stocks are perfect for bedding any action

My Vudoo is bedded in A McMillan A3-5. Why? Because I bought the Vudoo DBM and it does not fit the M5 inlet. So since the DBM was being bedded, why not the action too.
I had no plans to bed it until I saw that odd ball DBM shape.

I thought these DBM's were all supposed to be universal. For giggles, I stuck my 12 round aluminum Vudoo magazine in my 308's Badger Ord. AICS DBM, and it wiggled all over the place. I guess I can understand your issues OLD308, with a different outside dimension, but I would expect the magazines to fit all the different patterns.

What makes the Foundation stocks better for bedding then other stocks?

 

[OLD308]

Vudoo mags are supposed to fit AICS DBM. I never tested it, so I can’t speak on that. I just got super pissed then it came in. Luckily, I have a few stocks laying around. So instead of cutting up a USMC spec A4, I had the A3-5 cut to work.
Very small difference, but it’s there. You can see it in the pictures I have posted in the Rimfire For Sale section.

Why would you spend the money on a Vudoo that will shoot minute of a gnat's ass from the factory and mess around with it? You bed a rifle to correct a fitment issue. A Vudoo isn't coming from the factory with fitment issues.

OK HAVE TO ASK What the hell is a Fitment . Call me stupid i dont know what a fit ment is

 

[nesikabay]

[nesikabay]

I guess I'm the type of person who is always looking for a little more accuracy. So that is why. If the consensus was people found improvement after bedding, I would probably look into it it. I'm hoping it does shoot "minute of gnats ass" from the factory. But I do believe, even the best factory guns can be improved. Plus I like to tinker and try different things, isn't that how we learn?

you my man win the internet. Perfect thought out answer. ^

GAP... I like it. I may just start to use that phrase myself.

I have heard if them; however, I had no idea that's what it stood for. I like it!
