Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

I just use a ammo box my FIL gave me nearly 20 years ago. Works well for matches. All my mags plus a brick of ammo and then some. I usually keep my bolt wrapped up in there w/ the Weather Flow wind meter/weather station and the suppressor and the items in the storage tray on the lid. Going to continue to add mags and less boxed ammo.

I call it My Pot O'Gold.🍀

Tried a favorite Impact steel ball knob, but felt too long, so went with A419.
Looking forward to trying a Vudoo ball knob, looks bigger with a shorter stem. TWSS. And they might do steel as well.

I didn't see a ball knob on their site; it looks like the knobs they make are polymer with a threaded insert (at least that's how mine came).
 
Does anyone know where to find some 15rd Vudoo mags at? I preordered a bunch at SHOT from mile high, saw Vudoo said they had them in stock last night, called mile high this morning but they said they have no clue when they'll see any. Canceled with them to go order direct from Vudoo and a
Now they're out of stock. @RAVAGE88

I ordered (2) 15 rounders from Vudoo 4 weeks ago and received them yesterday. There was a mix up with my order but when I called they took care of it right away. I would give Vudoo a call and ask what lead times are.

Shot with them for the 1st time last night, they ran great.
 
If anyone wants something to drool over, GA Precision has a Vudoo build ready to ship in a GAP camo A5 stock with a Bartlein barrel. OMG ... Beautiful! This reflects clearly on the quality of the Vudoo system to me.

 
Just placed my order for a V-22.
I think the lead times are awesome for what is offered but it will be torture nevertheless. I can’t remember the lady’s name who took my order since I was in buying mode, but she was very nice and helpful. I really thought about buying a RimX, but in the end this platform has a amazing track record both with the rifle and staff. I decided to order a complete rifle and kept it basic.
I did the Ravage with Renegade stock in desert cam, 18in Kurki Ace in Vudoo Green and TT diamond with flat shoe and some extra mags.
I have a PST gen 2 5-25 FFP waiting for it’s arrival.
Thanks for letting me share my excitement here on the forum because I’m not saying a damn thing when I get home.

They don't mention what chamber reamer they used on the Bartlein on that V-22. Have to wonder whether GAP bought it as a bbl'd action from VGW, or did the bbl work themselves. I kind of like the GAP camo pattern - that's my 1st V-22 in its original Manners T4A in molded-in GAP, with the PRS1-T stock it's in now in front of it.

This is $1k more expensive than a similar built directly ordered from Vudoo. The Gap rifle has the Ingenuity rail and is bedded, but that's not enough to justify the premium....Unless I'm missing something...

At a certain point, money is not the determining factor ...
At a certain point, the performance of that rifle is not significantly better than most other Vudoo's either. For me, it's a price/performance ratio. I shoot a $1500 Anschutz 1903 in a Benchrest stock and I have the "small hole disease". My next rifle will push the price/performance ratio to my top end and will be a Vudoo or a Custom Benchrest rifle from Stiller or Killough. After that, the additional price will not justify the minor performance improvements I can expect.
 
At a certain point, it's not just about performance either ...

Totally get it but there are products in all price ranges for a reason. Sometimes it's performance based and sometimes it's just pride of ownership or "Cool Factor". A Perazzi shotgun does not perform statistically better than a Browning but is costs 3 to 4 times as much. Ask me how I know ... :)
 
Just have to say that Vudoo's turn around on shipping is outstanding. EVERY time I order, it's to me in less than a week. Doesn't matter, barreled action, mags, t-shirts, bore guide. If/when it's in stock, it's here. Probably seven or eight orders since late February. Considering the lock downs, it's doubly amazing. Thanks guys and gals.

Bore Tech too. Had my order in less than a week.
 
Anyone have a picture of the “Vudoo Green” Cerakote?

Hello, first time responder here. I too have been wondering about the Vudoo Green color. I talked with VGW twice about this color and received two quite different color samples in emails from them. The chassis on the table in Andrews video is now a third color for Vudoo green. This was the color I was hoping to avoid when ordering a MPA BA. I will need to reflect, if this lime green is Vudoo green, about changing my selection especially since there is a $300 upcharge to get Vudoo Green. I spoke with Greg and Lisa and they were extremely helpful in placing my order, like old friends only the coffee was missing from the transaction. I have pored over the media pictures on Instagram without a real sense of what Vudoo Green looks like. I look forward to getting my Vudoo later in the Summer, in time for the Fall paper and steel season.

Having an issue with accuracy and my vudoo all the sudden. I have been shooting to 260 regularly and was able to consistently hit a 5” plate. I was out of ammo from previous center x lot and had just been shooting CCI and SK match still able to hit the 5” plate with it. I have 5 lots of CX to try and when I first got my vudoo I was able to shoot in the .2’s at 50 yards pretty consistently, Now I’m struggling to get .4 at 50 and something really happened at 260, I cannot even hit a 18” plate. I took the suppressor off and shot it without, no change, I changed back and tried SK and CCI. Still throwing rounds all over. Only thing I had changed was I cleaned the bore with hoppes #9, two wet patches, then a nylon brush wet about 15 strokes. Used vudoo bore guide, cleaned with dry patches. I have cleaned it this way about 5 times prior and it was just fine. I checked my scope and all is tight with it. Any ideas what could be the issue, seems very strange that at 50 I am at least still in the .4-.5 range but at 260 it’s like 3-4’ now.

Sometime after a true cleaning you need a few rounds to “season” the barrel back and I guess the groove to find it’s place or whatnot. Are your shooting in the same place? Outside? Weather conditions?

Yes, after the cleaning I was able to shoot the top two rows of the card board, so that was 50 rounds, before I shot for those groups I shot 10 rounds of CCI SV to reseason the barrel. Yes shooting in same location out of my basement window. There is a berm at 91/205/260

I had a similar accuracy problem with my V-22 that I've fortunately corrected. Before I get into the details I want to set the stage.

There's two schools of thought about rimfire barrels, the first is that they don't need cleaning very often or not at all, the second is to shoot their best they need to be as clean as the you can get them. The positional, PRS style shooters, as a general rule fall into the first group, the rimfire benchrest competitors into the second.

I began shooting my V-22 with very little regard to cleaning the barrel ... after about a year of modest maintenance, much like you described, accuracy fell off dramatically. I'd estimate I had four or five thousand rounds down the barrel when accuracy dropped off. I talked to Paul at VGW and considered sending the rifle back to the factory but before I went to that extreme I convinced myself that the drop off was in the barrel and I needed to remove the dreaded "carbon ring". At that point I hadn't added a bore scope to my kit bag.

Here's what I did to solve my problem ... a thorough scrubbing with J-B Clean concentrating on the chamber but treating the entire barrel. Before I used the J-B Clean I used my standard protocol - a soaked Bore Tech Rimfire Blend patch to wet the barrel followed by a brass brush cycled several (5 to 7) times back and forth through the barrel and then wet patches until they come out clean.

Then I used the J-B Clean and followed again with my standard protocol ... I was amazed how dirty the patches were that came out of the barrel. I repeated the standard cleaning once more to make sure I removed any residual J-B Clean and off to the range I went.

My range-day results were far better than I'd seen over the previous three months and I was encouraged that I'd identified the problem and had a solution that would work. By the way, my V-22 wasn't nearly as fun to shoot when the accuracy disappeared - ain't that the reason we buy these rifles anyway?

A couple more thoughts - there's several similar cleaners you can substitute for J-B Clean. Bore Tech makes C4 Carbon Remover and Birchwood Casey makes a Lead Remover and Polishing Cloth. Both are available through Amazon. A fellow Vudoo owner uses the Bore Tech product with great results and it may very well become part of my standard cleaning protocol.

My second thought is that you might consider adding a bore scope to your cleaning protocol. I bought one from Teslong that works very well on rimfire barrels. I scope the bore prior to and after each cleaning to ensure that I've returned the barrel to pristine condition. You just can't see what's going on in your barrel without a scope.

Like I said at the beginning of this post there's two schools of thought on barrel cleaning ... obviously I'm in the benhrest shooter's camp. My shooting is at three yardages, 50, 100 and 200. I participate in monthly competitions at these distances and keep records of my target scores, round count and barrel cleaning. The data I've accumulated has convinced me that a clean barrel is a happy barrel. Sure, you'll have to shoot a few rounds (for me about three) to settle the barrel but then you're back in business with the Vudoo accuracy that always puts a smile on your face.

Hope this helps you and others with similar experiences.

Thank you Ozarkshooter, I think you are absolutely right I must have developed a carbon ring. I just ordered some more cleaning supplies from midway and I’ll give that a go. Appreciate the detailed response. I have probably 3500 rounds or so on it now and have never really “scrubbed” the barrel good.

I've read the carbon ring only effects the cold bore shot. Once the barrel is warmed up the carbon ring flyers go away. As I said, it's what I read in one of long threads over on RFC, who knows if anyone really understands it. I think cleaning can't hurt, so I go with your train of thought and do a light cleaning every 200-300rounds, and a detailed scrubbing every 1000 rounds. My Vudoo only seems to take about 5 shots max. to re-lube the barrel, sometimes it's shooting good from the 1st shot after cleaning.

One other thing I neglected to include was an emphasis on the brush ... I've used both nylon and brass/bronze and I favor the brass brushes. The nylon don't seem to be aggressive enough for the job you need to do. I can't say enough about the value of a bore scope ... $50 on Amazon!!!

You'd think I owned stock in bore scope companies ... I don't but I'm really an advocate of peeking into the barrel. You'd be surprised what a message you'll find even after a couple hundred rounds ... the before and afters are very convincing.

Ordered both. Bore scope and brass brushes. Along with rim fire bore cleaner. Thanks again
 
I clean my 22s with VFG pellets and Shooters Choice mixed 50-50 with Kroil. Maybe an occasional pellet with JB bore paste.

I clean often so I dont have to resort to things like brushes. When I started cleaning more often, the random flyers went away and accuracy was much more consistent. Yes, it takes 10-15 shots for the barrel to settle down after cleaning which isnt a big deal in my world.

I tried CLR a few times. I left it in for a few minutes and it knocked out all the carbon for sure. In the end, I decided that something as harsh as CLR isnt really needed. Targets and scores proved that.

I have never understood the chest thumping of "I havent cleaned my 22 in thousands of rounds. It isnt needed." If cleaning often was a bad thing, do you really think benchrest and olympic level shooters would bother with it? Isnt high levels of accuracy their game? Eventually accuracy will drop off. Why wait?

I have spent a lot of hard earned money and time ensuring my equipment works. If a bullet does not go where I wanted it to, I want to know it was me that screwed up and not my equipment.
 
so Teslong has quite a few models.. I assume you went with a model that has a 5.5mm 6 led camera? there are a few choices... what screen size did you go with 4.3"? I see a nice Teslong on ebay at $70...
