Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

[Jefe's Dope]

One of my better cherry picked groups.

Finally broke down and paid for the Ballistic-X app.

Was able to shoot a match today. Was F'n awesome to get out and shoot steel rather than paper.

 

[Hegre]

Any one know what the current lead times are for barreled actions?

I ordered a barrelled action a few weeks ago and was told five weeks.

 

[Gjmen22]

I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say you might see me hanging around this section. I recently ordered a full build V22. I was told on May 6th when I placed the order it was approximately an 8 week wait. This is going to be the longest 8 weeks ever. It made the 4 week wait on the scope not seem so bad. Look forward to seeing peoples rifles and groups.

You will not be disappointed and it is worth the wait. Mine pretty much loves anything with a Lapua/SK label on it. I’ve also found mine likes the cheap GECO ammo for practice.

I have almost a full case of CCI SV that I hope shoots halfway decent. There is also a few bricks of R-50 and Tenex on the ammo shelf that doesn't shoot all that great in my other rifles. My plan for now is to shoot up the stuff I have then hit the Lapua test range in the spring.

Sorry to tell u this but Cci sv is pretty poo for this rifle wrong size. It uses a lapula chamber. Sk will be best bet for cheap ammo. I'm now looking a 22lr that will shoot Cci sv well.

 

[Moose]

I tried the cci sv and had some trouble chambering it in my vudoo so I backed off on it.

 

[padom]

CCI SV won't chamber in mine either... SK/Lapua, Federal 922A/UM22 all day

 

[Gjmen22]

Just my luck.

 

[Moose]

I been running SK yellow and red box and Lapua center X and it runs great.

What kind of groups are you getting with the SK? And did you do any lot testing or did you just get lucky?

No issues shooting CCI Standard Velocity out of mine, when I did this ammo test.
However, since then, I've only been shooting SK Standard Plus and SK Magazine for practice.
Lapua Center-X gives the best results out of mine, so far.




I will re-visit this ammo test again, now that I've put over 1,000 rounds through it,
sometime in the near future. I'd like to try some Geco, RWS, and Eley, for good measure.

There are quite a few posts in this forum re CCI SV in the Vudoo. My experience has been:

• The tolerances for the ammo are pretty wide, especially as regards rim thickness. This will affect feeding.
• If you can close the bolt on it, you can shoot it - this per @RAVAGE88. Stuffing the long bullet skirt into the lands won't hurt the rifle but there's a good chance you will be unable to extract/eject the unfired round.
• Due to the aforementioned tolerances, accuracy can be inconsistent, across lots and from round to round.
  - I just started into a new case which actually feeds more easily than any lot before it. Yay, since 5k rounds of it.
  - I use CCI SV for positional practice on 2-3MOA targets out to 100 yards.
  - Past that, it's luck. Even within that envelope, there are plenty of WTF moments.
  - But at a fraction over 5 cents a round, compared to 20+ cents for Center-X, it works just fine for PRS positional practice.

Wrt Eley Tenex with its flat nose: I tried Eley Edge and Eley Match in my MPA-chassis'ed V-22. The Edge didn't do well. The Match was as good as Center-X. Problem was, in my rifle, the flat noses all too often jammed into the front of the mag, causing a jam that all too often required dropping the mag to clear. Royal pita, on the clock. Other Vudoo people report Edge/Match/Tenex feeds just fine.

Back to CCI SV: if you have it, run it. Ain'ta'gonna hurt the rifle.

 

[littlepod]

The Vudoo is just so easy to shoot that I sometimes forget fundamentals. Loaded up 3 mags and just ran through them fast at 50 yards and 100 yards - SK Pistol Match Special. Not my best 6x5, but good enough for me to be confident that I'll hit my 2/3 moa sized KYL's.

And then 103.5 yards.

 

[StrayDog]

Yup, alternating between .22lr and .308 on identical set ups is hilarious but helpful for me. Vudoo/Impact in MPAs.

 

[Gjmen22]

Those are some nice looking targets. Has anybody noticed any difference between the aluminum and polymer/plastic magazines? is there any advantage from one over the other? It's nice you can get the 12 round magazines but I see only offered in aluminum. I,m guessing, but could be wrong, the 15 round aluminum mags look like they could get a little awkward because they are getting quite long.

Looking great!

Great shooting littlepod! Nice groups at both distances.

 

[Gros21]

What geco ammo do people run through there v22 with what results. I have access to match, 22lr rifle and semi auto.

It's all order in by 500 min

The subsonic match ammo would probably work best, as others have stated the Lapua ammo seems to work best in the Vudoos

 

[XP1K]

I shoot a lot of cci standard velocity and subsonic through my vudoo. I can get it local and in bulk. It's done well for me. No, it won't extract a live round but my rifle won't extract a live round of any brand. Sk and lapua included. Sometimes the bolt is a little stiff closing but I think that's more due to rim thickness than the bullet engraving. It seems to have gotten better with time. Probably 3,500 rounds through the rifle at the moment.

Shot this last Saturday in a gusty NE wind at 13mph. Where I shoot from is open to the east but my range is bordered by trees the rest of the way to the target. As the wind tops the trees and drops over into my pasture it swirls in about three different directions. 7 out of 10 ain't bad considering the conditions. Cci sv at 186 yards on 3" steel.

How does the proof shoot against the ace 20 inch

 

[Gunfighter716]

New Vudoo all ready to go. Just waiting on my ammo shipment to come in and then I will be ready to hit the range to get it dialed in. Plan on starting with SK Long Range Match and then also picking up Center-X to compare.

 

[Gunfighter716]

Well done sir. That is a bad bitch and you have some fun in front of you.

Pls try SK S+

Thank you for the advice on the SK S+. Will definitely give that a shot as well.

 

[littlepod]

Which case is that? It fits so well.

I just ordered a Vault V730 and waiting on Pelican to ship it which I think will fit very similar to your above picture. Also my Terminus Zeus will go in there and I'll pull the barrels and cut foam cutouts for the barrels.

That's a Pelican 1720 with the 22" barrel. I would prefer a little more padding on the ends, but this would work great for anyone running barrels 20" and shorter.

 

[Krob95]

How does the proof shoot against the ace 20 inch

10 round groups at 50 and 100yds with an 18” proof carbon fiber barrel. I’d say they shoot just as good as the ace barrels.

Indoors? For 10 shots that's remarkable. That's would be one of the top shooting groups at the Lapua indoor testing facility.

.67" + .221" converted to mm = 22.6mm (edge to edge)

Indoors yes, I’m fortunate enough to have a indoor range 10 minutes from my house lol I was apprehensive to buy a vudoo with a proof barrel as there really wasn’t much data on group sizes at 100yd and hardly any at 50yds but it had far exceeded my expectations. I figured if @RAVAGE88 is selling them with proof barrels they must be damn good, and they are!

 

[22fun]

Thought I would share some data I discovered concerning the vudoo and action torque recently. Mine is the apparition in mpa chassis and it’s great but, does have some things I wish were better. So I bought a bell and Carlson stock for a more traditional style and it’s also great btw. To the point I inletted the stock for the vudoo bottom metal and realized I needed shorter action screws so I ordered some new ones mean while I cut and filed one I already had for spare and used the mpa rear as the front screw. Took the gun and shot at 300 yards when I got the new screw realized the front one I had on was not even letting the bottom metal make contact on the front. Fixed everything shot again and no change in poi or accuracy really. So the moral is if you have a quality rifle and quality stock I can relax a little on things like torque values.

 

[CBeck]

If blindly buying bulk ammo without testing to use for general practice and the SK standard + should be gtg right?

LOL just bought some today from creedmoor sports never shot it before but it people seem to like it and the price is right.

I just want to have plenty on hand when my action gets here to play with for at least a brick before worrying about what’s the best. I have always shot CCI sv for general minute of golf ball accuracy out of my cz.

 

[GibsonL5]

I have a vudoo barreled action on the way. I'm putting it in a krg bravo and wondering if I use the action screws sent with the bravo stock? Or does vudoo send some that I need to use?

Thanks

The KRG should be perfect.

Yup ... KRG will work just fine!

AFAIK Vudoo doesn’t supply screws. Use the ones that ship with the Bravo. They work fine for me

My vudoo came with action bolts

 

[Wagner]

When I started my build back in February, I wanted to keep my new toy as much of a sporter as possible..ordered a 18” ranch profile.
I went with a AG Composites privateer in carbon bronze.
Bottom metal is a PTG flush mount oberndorf.
Trigger is a triggertech special set at 1#.

Today I did a “slight” modification to the polymer 10 rd mag... here’s a few pics. (5 rd aluminum also in pics).
Put a vortex razor HD LH 3-15 on top of it.

 

[littlepod]

Mine did too, but I used the ones that came with my chassis.

 

[CBeck]

Yes. SK S+ is my favorite ammo but here's a comparison. Lot tested SK on the left, random purchase on the right. Both at 100yds, same rifle, same time, same position, within 5 minutes of each otherView attachment 7324579

Kinda glad I pumped the brakes on a case. I have some lots to test but I’ll buy a brick for now.

Same..

2 lots tested 6x5's at 1.1"
1 tested at .8"

Ordered 7500 rounds of the .8" lot. Have 3500 left and I'm sad when I run out.

 

[AMTGMC]

Anyone has good luck with SK flatnose?

Need to shoot more groups but it looks good so far with the few I have shot. These are 10 shot at 50yds. Waiting for a good weather day.

 

[Eoddave27]

I would guess what you are seeing there is you just happened to find a lot of the SK FN that your rifle really likes. With a good lot that your rifle likes of any of the ammo you tested there I would imaging you could get similar performance.

 

[Csafisher]

Hello guys, new here.

I just ordered a 20”kukri barreled action with a timney elite hunter. I was told the wait time is 5-6 weeks. So now I need a find a stock. I was thinking about getting a Mesa precision altitude stock (I have one on my tikka and love it) with a Hawkins bottom metal. Also potentially a manners mcs-t with gen 2 mini chassis. What do you guys think? Wild card would be a McMillan game warden.

The Bravo comes with the appropriate rear action screw. The front action screw is captive, already installed in the stock, so you are good to go. Save the Vudoo action screws incase you decide to change stocks down the road.

 

[Timberflint]

I'd love to see one in a McMillan Game Warden stock.

 

[Csafisher]

Anyone know of a place with game wardens in stock?

 

[CBeck]

That feeling when you have a Voodoo on order and you get a shipping email from Jill only to realize it was for the mags you ordered last night.

 

[Gros21]

I still can't get vudoo 2 reply to emails so no idea what that feels like
