    Title says it all basically, interested in the longer cartridge design for magnum rounds would allow someone to run RimX mags in a 22LR config in this action.

    ETA: Not currently concerned about rim diameters or anything like that.
     
    Vudoo is control round fed. I believe the way RimX chambers the round is unique to their bolt design.
    Yes, RimX breech is a coned design without the "hook" style extractors. However, that's independent of the mag design. Both RimX and Vudoo are CRF, the main design differences are how the extractor works, the breech design, and the location of the round pickup from the mag.
     
    Vudoo bolt throw is too short

    you would have to extend the throw and move the fixed ejector back as well

    many of us have thought of it, it’s a lot of work

    probably easier to do the extractor mod on a rimx
