I am torn about what I want to do. I am between buying a complete Vudoo or buying a barreled action and putting it together myself. I already have a spare TriggerTech for it. I'm curious what everyone else has done and why.

Good morning Reubenski; I am very intrigued by your statement, "This is where MPA's adjustable height mag latch shines." I assume you are talking about the MPA BA Competition Chassis for Remington 700 Short Action. Can you tell me how their Mag Latch is Adjustable? In what ways is it adjustable? How is it done?I just did a BA. Added my own MPA and trigger. If you bolt your own together, the biggest issue you might run into is mag latch height. A lot of Vudoo shooters have experienced feeding issues from what they attribute to a loose magwell. When they push the mag into a bag while shooting it can tilt the mag forward and misalign the feed angle. But if your latch pushes the mag all the way up bottom or forward pressure won't change your mag attitude. This is where MPA's adjustable height mag latch shines.
Great! Thank you!Good morning. Here's a link to their website with a product video.

MPA Adjustable Mag Catch - MasterPiece Arms, Inc.
This adjustable mag catch can be added to any MPA BA, Comp, ESR, Hybrid, BA Lite, CSR or Ultralite Chassis. The use of this adjustable mag catch is for those rare occasions when the magazine height needs to be adjusted for proper feeding. Please keep in mind, that our standard mag catch will...masterpiecearms.com
Here's a close-up of the adjustable latch. I had an occasional failure to feed the last round in a magazine. Once installed, it took maybe 2 minutes to tinker with and adjust the latch. Haven't touched it since and haven't had a last-round failure to feed since.Good morning Reubenski; I am very intrigued by your statement, "This is where MPA's adjustable height mag latch shines."

I am debating whether to put my Vudoo in a MPA Chassis. This would totally push me over the edge...
Thank you for your thoughts.

Absolutely. I have had my Vudoo since Nov 2018. My only issues have been mag feeding. The Aluminum ones work better than the plastic, so far. I have the Grayboe Ridgeback stock on mine. Very nice stiff stock. But was considering the MPA due to the grip with the thumb rest. I stuck my mags in a friend's MPA and seemed to be OK. But having this adjustment option is a game changer. Very nice indeed. Thank you for your input.This is genius. I really don't know why other stock and chassis manufacturers don't make an adjustable version of their mag latches. Or at the very least an oversized version that can be purchased so users can fit for their individual needs.
I love my MPA-chassis'ed Vudoo (I've posted this photo a couple of times in the V22 forum). With that said, imo the adjustable latch is a necessity. I have a buddy who have the exact same setup as mine. When I was having the problem, I found that my mags would feed perfectly in his rifle and his would fail in mine.Absolutely.

Not surprised that you find the aluminum mags are different (for better or worse) than the polymer ones. With my rifle adjusted for the latter, the former are a small fraction of a millimeter tight. The aluminum ones feed ok but, were I to use them exclusively, I would loosen the latch an almost imperceptible amount. Keep in mind the polymer mags have seen a lotta'rounds through them while the alum-ium ones are new.

Downhill, my Vudoo is now in a Blue MPA Chassis as well. Very nice piece of equipment. I have played with the height of the mag catch. I think I finally have it close to right. Greg at Vudoo says the mag needs to be TIGHT up against the bottom of the action. Mine had too much Viggaldy. It is tight now. Next match should tell the tale. Works good shucking rounds in and out on my desk at home... But that is not the same as a match... The adjustable Mag catch is indeed Golden. I would not have bought the stock without it. I do appreciate your assistance and input in the effort. 4CertainI love my MPA-chassis'ed Vudoo (I've posted this photo a couple of times in the V22 forum).

Ehaleyjr86; I bought mine as a stocked rifle all ready to go. I did not like the trigger so I changed to a Bix n Andy TacSport Pro 2 Stage. I ended up liking the MPA Competition Chassis and moving my action to that. No issues in moving. Like the Chassis. I do REALLY like that it has an adjustable mag catch so I can make sure my mags are sitting High and Tight against the underside of the Action... So I bought mine one way and changed it....It is good either way!! Love the Vudoo! 4CertainI am torn about what I want to do.

Any issues with feeding with the ACC?I also went with just the BA and installed a TriggerTech Diamond that I had on hand along with a new MDT ACC chassis. This is generally the route I have been taking recently so that I can get the exact setup that I am looking for along with the pride and joy of doing the final assembly.
I also had a challenging time getting the trigger pins installed due to the cerakoted action, but did not have to remove any material prior to punching the pins through.
No feeding issues with the ACC using the 10rd plastic mags. The mags lock up tight and feed smoothly into the chamber as designed. I haven't gotten my hands on the billet mags yet to give them a try, but I am planning on picking up at least the 15rd.Any issues with feeding with the ACC?
Awesome...I have my ACC, trigger, scope and rings, and 3 mags. Barreled action is supposed to be here on the 10th! I’ve been searching high and low on if anyone was having mag issues with the mdt...but seeing as most are running MPA, info is hard to find.No feeding issues with the ACC using the 10rd plastic mags.

Depending on your barrel contour (assuming you are getting at least a 20"), you may need to run some forend weights as the ACC is quite heavy in the rear. On mine with a 22" MTU, I am running all 5 internal weights and balancing right in front of the magwell, but could have easily stopped at 4 weights. Not running any of the external weights.Awesome...I have my ACC, trigger, scope and rings, and 3 mags. Barreled action is supposed to be here on the 10th!

They are on the short list, internals and one set of external. 20” mtu and going to run a dead air mask as well at atlas psr.Depending on your barrel contour (assuming you are getting at least a 20"), you may need to run some forend weights as the ACC is quite heavy in the rear.

Are you the one who cut a few inches off the chassis? I believe I’ve seen this on the Vudoo group on FB. Good looking rifle!Exchange the rear butt plate for the aluminum version in the ESS butt plate. Don't run a heavy bag rider. This is an 18" Kukri with 3 weights internal. Though after having to do some NRL22 offhand stages I've lightened up the rifle. Dropped down to a 28oz scope, and removed all internal weights.
