Well this happened 
My Vudoo landed today (and early!) so I started putting her together! Can't wait to go shooting!

Thank you very much! I am using the 28mm (1.10") mediums.
Caught a fly today with the Vudoo V22. Life long dream realized!
50 Yards, Lapua Center-X, EC Tuner, (old picture, Razor Gen II on it now)

It is the MK Machining Gen III Magnetospeed Mount (With 12" Rod) for the Magneto Speed V3
Its good for the price. Holds zero and seems to track fine. Zoom and paralax knobs are pretty stiff. Glass is acceptable for a $500 scope but doens't compare with my $2k scopes (nor should it). I really like that the paralax goes down to 15 yards and there's 25 MRAD of elevation adjustment. With the 40 moa rail I'm zeroed with about 3 - 4 mils of adjustment below zero so no need for a zero stop and have about 20 mils of up adjustment.
This is my Joe Chacon customized 10/22 build just recently completed. Couldn’t be happier with this rifle now, can’t wait to take it outdoors soon when this crappy NE Ohio weather finally breaks. Joe put on one of his Shilen 4 groove, ratchet rifled 22” barrels along with his tuner and also went over all the magazines (polished and springs wound ). I was only able to break it in indoors at 25yds today but it shows great promise and I’m happy with it.

From an exodus, to an ACC, to a centurion. Think it’s going to stay in this one a while.
Bergara B14R arrived this week and today was my first outing with it.
Sitting in an XLR Element Gen1 chassis, 20 MOA Leupold Mount, Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x56, Atlas bipod. Right now it is VERY tail heavy even with the bipod all the way out front, so I’ll have to work out adding some weight to the front end.
I grabbed 9 random rounds (SK Standard+) to warm up the barrel and sight it. The gun already exceeds my expectations - All nine shots of my very first shots at 50 yards were remarkably close. No cold bore flier.
I confess I struggled a bit getting comfortable behind this new gun - I haven’t yet worked out the right mix of bipod and rear bag and I felt I was having to “push” the gun a lot.
The Bergara trigger without the adjustment screw is at 2.25 lbs and since that’s where all my other triggers are I’m going to leave it alone for a while. Having said that, I’ve got a spare Bergara trigger that I’ve already tapped for new adjustment screws and expect I can get down to a very sensitive trigger if I so desire.
First 80 rounds of SK Standard+ and no mag, feeding, or ejection issues whatsoever.

Y'all have some great looking rigs. Here's my 1st outing with my BMR.
Anschutz 1710 HB, Zeiss Conquest V6 5-30x50, Talley Lightweight Medium Rings, Harris bipod.
Could you elaborate on that?

See posts 76, 79 & 81 by AirGunShawn in particular though there may be more after that (whole thread is full of fixes to other issues I just don't have! - yet?). It seems I also found it in another of the several SH "My Bergara has problems" rimfire threads but can't remember which one(s). I know there's another post by AirGunShawn somewhere - can 't find it off the cuff - that goes into even more detail. I suppose a search for posts by him in the Rimfire threads will turn it up pretty quickly. Ultimately my hat is off to Shawn for all his posts on this subject!
Same basic info in two stickies at the top of the Bergara threads over at RimfireCentral.com . Apparently the both the BMR and B14 series use the same trigger.
I don't want to hijack a picture thread (enough guys do that on the Motivational Pic thread already!) so I'll send you a PM with my experience. And maybe add to that original thread too. All good!

Finally wrapped up the Savage MKII FV-SR project. After try a few different scopes, I finally settled on the Vortex Venom 5-25X56. This is a fun little rifle to shoot and seems pretty accurate. I'm mainly shooting steel with it for now. I've been shooting a 1 inch gong at 50 yrds, 2 inch gong at 75 yrds and a 3 inch gong at 100 yrds and getting hits pretty much every shot. Haven't really measured any groups on paper yet. I've been shooting CCI SV exclusively with a few issues with extraction, but the rifle was a bit dirty when those issues occurred.
Listed below is the parts list for the rifle:

Got me a proper rest & rear bag. Doesn't make me a much better shooter, but looks professional...
Your bolt handle is on the wrong side.

There's a delete post button, but I wouldn't worry about it. Double posts happen.
Actually the bolt is on the correct side glad manufacturers finally acknowledge that there are left handed shooters
Kidd super grade. PDC custom chassis. Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2. Between the 20 MOA in the rail and 20 MOA in the mount, I should have around 95 MOA of elevation to dial once I get my 50 yard zero set this week.

Wasn't looking for a rifle, but seen this Ruger 10/22 LVT model at my LGS and couldn't pass it up. The classic wood stock and heavy varmint style threaded barrel sold me on it. I wasn't aware that Ruger produced the rifle, but later found out that it's a TALO exclusive. I still want to build a 10/22 similar to a KIDD with a more tactical appearance. This thing shot very well right out of the box, even with that cheap Athlon scope on it.

Something about the classic simplicity of the 10/22 and the walnut stock.
The Swiss Army Knife of backyard fun.
I wanted a basic 10/22 to throw most of it away and put a Kidd barrel, Victor Co Titan stock and a few other upgraded parts, but I think I'll leave this alone and put a Victor Co cheek riser on it and a better scope and call it a day. The trigger on this thing is pretty heavy, that would be a good upgrade as well. It does shoot pretty well.
I’ll tell you what, that Compass Lake Douglas barreled AR put a whoopin’ to the B14R that particular morning scoring several hits on the 1/2-1/4” KYL targets at 100 yds while the Bergara failed to connect. But I know the next go around may favor the bolt gun. It’s all fun.
Swapped barrels and put on a new throw down scope for now (XTR III).
Wow, that is a fat wee barrel.
Makes my CZ 24" look skinny and undernourished.
How does it shoot?
She shot well at this past weekend’s club match. Did well enough to rank top 10 in Open.
New setup all done! Time to dial it in this weekend
Bergara BMR basically factory except the cheap Amazon cheekiest and a 6x24x50 Vortex crossfire II ( 30 mm) UTG rings. This rifle does shoot, long enough range is tough.
