Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

[ccollier]

I shot this a couple of weeks ago, It was my first time at 300 yards with one of my Vudoos. I went 30 for 30 on a 12" plate. Conditions were not too bad, winds 3-4 mph switching from 11 - 7 o'clock, shooting SK Biathlon Sport. I've been shooting rimfires for over 40 years and these new guns are simply amazing!

Still messing around with ammo but with almost 50 degrees today, it’s getting close to as good as I’ll get out of this thing.

These were shot in order of; Wolf, Lapua, Western. At 50 yards

 

[Geno C.]

All ten shot groups

 

[Geno C.]

Didn’t expect groups to fall apart this bad at 100... corresponding groups are below the 50 yard

The last groups of centerX, I took the 22 takedown off, just to check

 

[Geno C.]

I wasn’t going to today, but looks like I’ll try these

 

[Geno C.]

Underwhelmed. Midas on top and Tenex on bottom. Both far right groups were shot without the can.

Looks like your Center-X did best.

 

[Geno C.]

I’ll have to measure when I get back home. Midas is pretty close.

Looking to purchase a V22 to replicate my competition 26" Impact 6.5 w/ M24 contour in an MPA chassis. Anyone have any thoughts on the V22 with a 22" MTU vs 20" MTU contour? Not sure whether to put in a custom order for the 22" vs. the standard 20" available.

 

[littlepod]

26" M24 contour is 6.2 lbs.

For similar weight it looks like a 22" Kukri would be close - 6.125lbs.

20" MTU is 6.625 lbs

 

[BigRed308]

If I were to order a V-22 with the intention of the upmost accuracy, would the 20” MTU be the recommendation? Not looking for a cross trainer, literally just shooting groups.

Thanks, super helpful!

They all shoot about the same regardless of configuration. Barrel contour and length are more about personal preference.

 

[45ACP223]

I think one of the vudoo videos talks about barrel length, they started with a 22" and cut 1" off at a time down to 16.5", and shot groups for accuracy. If I remember 18-20" was the sweet spot, but basically they all shot well. Kind of a personal preference in overall appearance more than anything.

Patiently waiting to get mine out of purgatory. KRG Bravo is already in and ready. Ordered a Vortex Razor HD II from Liberty this weekend as well.

Do some states have waiting times for even bolt action rifles? WA only has a jail period for handguns and semiautos.

 

[BigRed308]

Do V-22 barreled actions come with bottom metal?

 

[jeronimo]

Do V-22 barreled actions come with bottom metal?

No.

If you go with a chassis, or a Manners with the mini chassis, you don't need it.
If you go with a Grayboe, Foundation, or other conventional stocks, you will.

Here's mine, prior to assembly, showing the Vudoo bottom metal,
and then, installed in a Grayboe Custom Ridgeback.



I have a Foundation Exodus coming tomorrow, inletted for the V-22 action and the Vudoo bottom metal.

There’s a wait for anything in CA.

Any recommendations on where to grab a BA? Kinda confused why Area419 is the highest price while not being cerakoted. Did I miss something?

I wondered about that myself, and ended up buying from Mile High, when they still had them in stock.

Try this one out. He's a Commercial Supporter here.

Best 100 yard average was Tenex, the. CenterX then Midas. Not really impressed. I’ll try it again on a warm morning with no wind. I’ll bring my Sako quad along to compare to since I know it’s averages already.

if I remember correctly, 419’s BA came with two mags. That’s the price difference.

Verifed. That must be it.

Check with Altus. They have 18 and 20" MTUs coming in this week unless you are looking for a lighter contour.

Getting ready to place my order now-wanted a MTU

 

[RAVAGE88]

Getting closer to starting that V22S thread, these are right off the 5 Axis. I'll be prepping and sending out for finish really soon....

The first ones off the machine are RB,LP. When I design at Vudoo, the SolidWorks models have every configuration from the beginning. Meaning, when I design a right handed part, I also design a left handed part, so there's no long, unnecessary wait for left handed versions of what we do. In the day and age of technology we live in, not having a left handed version at the time of intro is just plain silly.

Remember, we're not taking orders yet, but you can get on a contact list by calling the shop and letting Greg, Jill or Lisa know you'd like to be on the Single Shot list.

[Hoser]

So cool.

 

[45ACP223]

That's going to generate some interest! Nice job Mike and all the Vudoo crew!

 

[tatman3715]

I’ve got a Grayboe Renagade with their bottom metal, color gray that I used on my Vudoo and changed to a cheaper chassis. Would you be interested in this??

I didnt realize trading was bad, sorry

 

[ccollier]

I'm really looking forward to getting one of the V-22S. Mike, can you share what coating/finish you plan to use/offer on the V-22S action? Looks great, I can't wait until they start shipping.

 

[flatland1]

Ooh, what a teaser! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these and get it set up to shoot!...

@ RAVAGE88 I thought the single shot adapters were already available on the website?

Mike, as you continue your "strip tease" with the new parts, any chance we can see a pic of the finished rifle? Or at least the finished barreled action?

Thanks!

Agreed. It is so frustrating as a leftie to see how many companies dont do this.

Thanks! No need for a wait list or pre-orders, we're building/shipping the Magnums. Give the shop a call.

I like the 18" for the minimizing harmonics issues. What is your suggestion on best contour and length, for 50ft to 100 yards?

Hey DS, I use various barrel lengths based on what I'm doing with the rifle, but the distance I'm shooting doesn't impact my choice.

[Dualsport]

OK, I want the 18" MTU on my V22S action. Just wanted to make sure the longer bench rest barrel, had no benefit in accuracy.
I'll call it in later
