MPA 22ba, 6.5 Creedmoor, Savage Mark II TR 22lr or Custom stock with Vudoo 22lr action

Hi,

I am interested in getting into bolt rifle shooting. I have been looking at the MPA 6.5 for a long time. I can get one for around 2500.00 new. Why would I want the Vudoo action with a mpa chassis or AI chassis that would cost just as much or more than the 6.5 creedmoor. I plan on shooting out to 300 yards, but I like this whole accuracy thing. The 22lr to me seems underpowered and messy to clean up. The only advantage is cheaper to shoot and more quiet with a suppressor. If I bought the 22lr I would definitely consider the Thunder Beast 22 suppressor for it.

Apples and oranges.

The vudoo 22lr is a supplement to train with, not to replace your centerfire match rifle. Its a low cost (ammo) low recoil alternative to training with your dedicated match rifle. The ideal setup would be to own both.

You'll learn more about wind in an afternoon shooting a .22lr at 400 yards than you would shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor in a month.

Seriously?

From the perspective of how many matches you can shoot with a 22RF as opposed to CF PRS-type matches, it's got to be easier for most of you guys to be within easy driving distance of a range or place where a 22RF match can be set up than it is to find a place where a CF match with targets out to 1000yds can be set up. With proper care, a match grade 22LR bbl is going to last indefinitely, vs. 1500-2800rds with a CF bbl. IOW, if you're looking at a Vudoo or other precision 22RF as more than just a trainer for your CF comp rifle or rifles, you're going to be able to get in a lot more shooting with a 22.

My Savage TR is surprisingly good at 100 yards with Wolf MT. I had to increase the LOP and comb. I shoot this out my home office window thru the woods at a 25-50-100 yard target which are protected from wind.

What isn't fun about shooting a 10lb rifle using multiple positions and props using small to tiny steel targets? I really enjoy shooting my 6.5CM in the our 2- local PRS style matches but it is just a kick in the butt shooting the local NRL22 match also. Why do one when I can do both and they each benefit each other.
