I ordered it from you guys on 11-12-19. I believe it is a newer model because I needed the new updated bag rider for the rearHow recent is your MDT?

Krob95 pretty much covered it. The chassis, especially MPA, have a known issue and it can cause issues with feeding. I run Manners with their Mini Chassis and the Eley run without a problem. I have actually had my barreled action in 3 different Manners stocks and never an issue. I bet the Grayboe or McMillans would be the same.

Done, Thanks for the quick response. Fortunately I have a V-22 Ridgeback for a backup...lol
I’m gonna pick up some SK plus local and give it a shot.
Just FYI, I don't know if you've followed this thread but Vudoos are chambered by Mike's proprietary ravage chamber meant to perfectly meet the specs for Lapua/SK ammo, specifically Center-X. This is why you basically are guaranteed that any Lapua/SK ammo will shoot fantastically out of the Vudoo. This is what the shooters asked for, to not have to go mess around with 20 different ammo brands that you generally have to do when buying another factory branded 22LR...
So when you buy a Vudoo, you pay the premium that it's tuned and specifically chambered for a certain ammo to save you time on trying to match ammo. I wouldn't bother tinkering with geco, rws, cci, fgmm etc... just buy some SK Standard Plus for $5.50 for good practice ammo, or up it to Rifle Match for $7.50, or Lapua Center-X for $11.
Rob,
I have a Grayboe stock and I put my barreled action in it and had the same exact problem. I have zero issues picking up the next round. The issue is getting the bolt to close far enough to cam closed. The shape of the bullet makes the bullet engage the rifling before SK/ Lapua does. It takes quite a bit of force to slam the bolt home. If I get a run at it so to speak and slam the bolt home hard it forces the bullet into the rifling. It I try to close the bolt with anything less that a lot of force the bolt stops just shy of being able to cam over. I have to back the bolt up and slam it home to get the round to chamber. My son tried to run a magazine of Eley Edge through the rifle and he couldn’t get a single round to chamber. It is bad enough that I would never consider using Eley ammo in a match. Right now I am just testing the various SK ammo to find out where the sweet spot for cost vs performance is. I will have to leave the Eley ammo I have for my custom Tikka. The jury is still out on which rifle shoots better. I would say right now it is about a tie as far as precision goes. My Tikka shoots the cheap Eley Force and Contact amazing. Right now it looks like the Eley ammo is not an option with my Vudoo.
but I don't want to waste a bunch of ammo when I go and shoot for groups in a month when the ranges open.
My backyard goes out to 33 yards, and I have a Sparrow 22, but pretty sure there's no legal way to shoot a gun on my property in this county.
Any update on the 15 round mags?
maybe i missed it , but updates on the ammo boxes?Fives are shipping now, 15s start shipping next week.

I was dry firing the V-22 with a two-stage Huber. While it was clean and crisp, I think the 2nd stage breaks at about 3lbs and the wall seems a bit hard to overcome. Soooooooo, I ordered a Bix'n Andy TacSport Pro with the high sear and flat shoe, and asked they adjust it to 1lb.
Padom.....I hate you.....?

You have to be fair, each rifle likes something different, I have 2 Vudoos and they both do not like the same ammo, not even close. My MDT only wants Center X of the lot that was found by Lapua and my Ridgeback is less picky and likes SK Pistol Special Match and a different Center XJust FYI, I don't know if you've followed this thread but Vudoos are chambered by Mike's proprietary ravage chamber meant to perfectly meet the specs for Lapua/SK ammo, specifically Center-X.

Same here, they are amazing! Im curious as to what did you have for issues with the standard sear? I'm fairly certain that mine has the standard and havent had any issues with it.Lolol. I have a small fortune invested in TacSport Pro 2 Stage triggers. They are amazing!

Hmm interesting since they told me the standard would be fine.View attachment 7285588
Ok thanks for the info. I ordered mine and shipped it to vudoo along with my stock for them to put together to make sure everything was good, so I had nothing to measure which is why I asked BC. When it arrived it was around a pound total weight. It worked fine and passed drop tests but I actually upped it to 1.5lbs total where I like to be but understand if your going on the light end why it wouldnt work. I'll call and talk to Don and see about getting a high sear for it in case I want to make full use of lighter end in the future.Call and talk to Don...There is a very specific method of determining your sear....they show you how to measure your action and have a very detailed chart that tells you what sear you need based off your measurement...Don even said they didn't have data in a Vudoo so my measurement would be one of the first....
And to that guys credit, the sear that comes with them (medium) worked as it arrived...but the trigger pull was too heavy...you really saw why you need a high sear when trying to adjust the trigger down in the low range...they set mine at 8oz on the second stage.. wasn't possible with the medium sear
Meaningful is a subjective term. By using a tuner in conjunction with his mechanical rest @Tiger_Shilone reduced the ten shot group size for an An 1710 D HB from 0.4" at fifty yards to 0.08". Is that meaninful?The Vudoo already shoots so well I can’t see you gaining any meaningful precision by adding a tuner. The only thing holding the Vudoo back is ammo inconsistency. The rifle will simply shoot to the level of the ammunition you put in it.
I would say the tuner was meaningful to Tiger_Shilone. I might buy a Harrell tuner to fit my IBI barrels. I'd at least have two opportunities for it to work.Meaningful is a subjective term.

Where did you get that target from?DFAT dry fire at break time.
