The options are insane right now, Vudoo, Zermatt, Ruger, and 5 others. Is there a solid, no nonsense path to take? Also, I have a donor 10/22 I could use if they are still a legit option. I also intend to go suppressed.

Vudoo probably won't help to much 100yards and under(nrl22) but if you plan on reaching out beyond 100yards this is where the Vudoo should come into play. With my Vudoo 2" targets at 250-300 yards just seems to easy. I'm now wanting smaller or farther targets.I am a lot like you. Been thinking Vudoo but price compared to what I gain is what I am still wresting with. I've got several rimfires and just about all are shooters or I don't keep them.
My Tikka is shooting mid to upper 2's in idea conditions from the bench with bipod and rear bag with fairly good consistency. Me being the inconsistent part that opens up the groups when they open. My Kidd 22's shoot lower to mid 3's, same conditions.
Although I am sure I will end up with a Vudoo at some point I currently struggle with how much I stand to gain for the price tag. But I also know if I want the best (which I usually do) then the Vudoo has to be in my future.
Since I buy a new rimfire every month or two, I am leaning more toward the Bergara as my next purchase. I too am also wanting to get into NRL22 but here is what I've decided to do.
The Kidd or the Bergara seems like they would put me into the Open class. I doubt either is going to outshoot the Tikka I currently have so I've decided to go with the Tikka. I can shoot and learn. Not a good doper and have always spent my time on a bench instead of different positions.
So my though again, which is a personal thing is, I am not likely to shoot any better with that Vudoo than I will the Tikka right now. Since I'm going to be a newb at NRL22, I'd be better off in Base class. All the Vudoo will do for me at this point is place me in an even more competitive class and I serious doubt I am going to do any better with the Vudoo than the Tikka.
Again, I constantly buy rimfires and I do want the Vudoo. So I know at some point I will get one. Just saying even if I had it, at least for right now I'd probably still grab the Tikka and shoot the base class.
Hope I like the Bergara but mostly buying it cause I have the Bergara in 6.5
Good luck to you and I will be watching this thread with anticipation.
Blue_ridge I'm having similar thoughts as yourself. The rifles I'm looking at are the Bergara, 457 and the Anschultz 64 MPR and mating it with either a Athlon or Element optics (it's a limited choice in the UK). I've had hands on all three rifles and still can't decide. Budget wise the vudoo and rim-x are out of the picture but the above rifles may be worth the look of you can get hands on.
Buy a factory fresh 10/22. Give them that, a dozen mags (25 rounders even better), a brick of decent ammo, and several aluminum cans. Tell them they can shoot as fast as the like (this is the reason for the bone stock ruger), so long as they are hitting the cans. So long as you can keep them supplied in ammo and cans, this should free up your vudoo for the foreseeable future...I spent 3k on 2 rifles to end up with a vudoo anyway .
My grandkids (9 and 5) don't know what 1 rifle cost over another and have shot all of them.
They ask to shoot the vudoo when they visit
YMMV
Of the Rem 700 footprint actions, it seems a barreled action from Bergara Is 1/2 the price of Vudoo and Rimx. Am I leaving any others out? Given the flexibility in stocks and the ability to match the setup for PRS, is there any Major drawback of the Bergara action? $850 vs. $1700 would leave a lot of extra money for ammo, stock and optics.

Yes but the 10/22 doesnt ring steel at 200 yards. That is what they like.
My grand kids are for me to spoil im retired.
Let their dad buy them a 10/22'
