Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action
- Thread starter RAVAGE88
- Start date
Some 50 yard, 5 shot groups with my skunkworks .22 tonight...
First time out since I dropped my ranch profile into the ag composite stock. Im really loving this rifle.. the gun will flat shoot, no doubt.
Like any sporter, inconsistencies in form are magnified greatly. Here’s a few groups from today with sk rifle match and pistol match.
I quit early because of the wind and for some reason I just couldn’t get comfortable.

You sound like you're disappointed in those groups. I don't see anything wrong with them. Typical rimfire shooting, I'd be happy with those results.
Nope Kod, it’s definitely meeting my expectations! No disappointments here. I just need to work on me!
Well my vudoo is finally completed! 6 or 7 or 8.... chassis’s later and I finally ended up with an AX w/ a 13” forend thanks to an awesome fellow hide member. Last piece that might get sold and upgraded is the scope but that can wait another day, I’m beyond thrilled with the look and feel of my V-22.
Any negatives in using a 60MOA rail if most of my shooting will be at 200 yards or less? The scope will have enough adjustment to to still zero at 25 yards and I want to be able to dial out as far as possible occasionally. I’ve just never had that much slope in a rail and it looks kinda weird in pictures.
I have a 60MOA rail on my Vudoo. It works just fine. Zero at 25 yds and the ability to reach out and touch Rimfire ELR distances. I like having options on board!
What height rings? Seems like a long scope would be close to hitting the barrel at that angle. Maybe I’m just over thinking it. You got a picture of your set up?
Depending on the scope, you may lose some optical attributes running that close to the edge of the adjustment range at closer distances.
Scopes are optically optimized at the center of their adjustment ranges.
A 20-30 MOA base should work fine for your application, and you can always hold over for extra long shots.
On most higher quality scopes a 30 MOA base will still let you dial 350 to 400+ yards.

Got a V-22 for my son (11) and I to share.... that’s not working out so well, I am now in the market for another so I can get to shoot the damn thing.... 
Ha! Can't wait for mine to be that old. They're both RH, and I'm LH, so at least they won't need MINE

That is a problem easily solved. Get what you want.Got a V-22 for my son (11) and I to share.... that’s not working out so well, I am now in the market for another so I can get to shoot the damn thing....
I’m still sitting here waiting for what the “next” A.I. chassis is going to be, was told the AX was discontinued 
Hi, appreciate any info. I know Vudoo is coming out with a new bore guide, but it's still unavailable. I saw in a previous post MB said he's using a proof positive .20 cal rod and .22 cal jag. Does anyone know if any of the current Boretech bore guides work in the V22? Obviously I'd rather have the new one from Vudoo but I may need one before its available. Finally got my new V22 set up in a MDT ESS chassis and setting up a shooting range on our property in a week or two, so I plan on shooting a lot. Thanks for any help.
The AXSR chassis is next up. However if you look in the PX there’s a black AX chassis with a 13” forend for sale.I’m still sitting here waiting for what the “next” A.I. chassis is going to be, was told the AX was discontinued
$150 stated as new trigger price. I was thinking the action was designed for the Favio from Italy with its 90 degree sear surface. Can't be $150 can it?

Yeah I am looking for a flush handguard/suppressor look - so will want the longer HG
I ordered on the 8th so I still have a little while.I hear that. 3 and a half weeks into a 8 week wait.
I’m guessing my barreled action gets done before my stock but I'll pull one off another rifle until it's done.
Hope you get it before the corona gets you.
Guys, does anyone run a Cadex Strike Nuke Evo chassis on their Vudoo?

I have to remove the 'adapter' from the Vudoo bore guide as the .22 bore stick won't fit through it. I believe the 'adapter' is for the .17HM2 version. In another post by MB he stated he was using a .20 cal Bore Tech bore stick and a .22 jag. This rod does fit through the adapter but the .22 RF jag's threads are not the same as the female threads on the .20 cal bore stick and the .22 RF jag also won't fit through the adapter. I'm ASSuming MB meant he was using both the .20 cal bore stick and a smaller jag than the .22 RF mentioned. I only know all this because I used his post to place my order with Bore Tech. I found out all this when I went to clean my Vudoo and the .22 RF jag would not thread onto the .20 cal bore stick. A quick call to Bore Tech got me straightened out and was able to clean my rifle a week later. The Bore Tech rep also mentioned they were building the new bore guide for Vudoo and it would be made out of Delron(sp?) instead of aluminum. Perfect happy w/ my OG Vudoo bore guide but will likely try the Bore Tech one when it's released.
Here's a couple bore scope videos of before and after.
Before. Just shy of 2000 rounds:
After:
And a couple gratuitous five round groups I got when seasoning the barrel after cleaning. Cherry picked of course.

Thanks for info! I'm not sure what to do if I need to clean it before the new bore guide is available as the old one is not an option anymore.
You don't 'need' a bore guide, but it sure helps and you can be a little more hap hazard with your technique as the guide does the precision work.
On the Vudoo video "how to clean your Vudoo", he's not using a bore guide.

Also, I used both the Bore Tech Rimfire cleaner then the Eliminator just in case there was some copper fouling as I thought I saw some "copper" during the initial bore scope and I had the everything already set up. I'm new to bore scopes and precision rifle cleaning so I'm not sure what I'm seeing.
My patches were very clean when finished though and the after video seems to show I was able to remove most everything.

I still haven't cleaned my Vudoo. About 1000 rounds through. What are the intervals people are doing?
Finally, the answer. VFG pellets. Work beautifully with mild abrasive of choice to address the LEAD Ring.
If still shooting well, it would be interesting to borescope the chamber/leade and take careful note of the lead ring, if any, for reference.
Same as my centerfire. 300 or so rounds.
Then you never have to wonder when/if you should be cleaning it.
I cleaned mine just shy of 2000. You can see the before and after in the videos above. The before at 2000 rounds.
That's very helpful, thanks for the info. that makes me feel better about just waiting till the new bore guide is available.Also, I used both the Bore Tech Rimfire cleaner then the Eliminator just in case there was some copper fouling as I thought I saw some "copper" during the initial bore scope and I had the everything already set up.

To offer a bit of perspective, I don’t support cleaning any rimfire without a bore guide; the approach in the video has been “adjusted.” Thanks for posting this, as I’ve intended to pass this on here, as I have done so on other forums already.

i has a severe carbon ring not long ago and had some questions as well, after talking with people I trusted and MB I scrubbed the barrel. As mentioned above the 20 cal rod does not have the same thread type, but I ordered the adapter to convert it. All you have to do is slip the bore guide insert on the rod, then the adapter and 22 brass brush on. The 20 cal rod fits through the hole just not the adapter. I also ordered the boretech rim blend and was able to fully remove the carbon build up. My Vudoo is back to shooting .2 and sometimes .1 at 50 and 2.5” at 260. Thx for all the reply’s off this thread.
Two questions... what bore guide would you recommend for a V-22? When will the Vudoo Bore Guide be available...
I am using a Dewey Rem 40x bore guide on my Gen 2. The Gen 2 has an anti-rotation pin protruding from the top of the action which required a small amount of material to be removed from the top of the bore guide to clear. It took some time to slowly remove the material constantly checking for clearance since I wanted to maintain a perfect fit.

How long until the carbon ring, and what are some signs to watch out for? I have about 1000 rounds in mine so far.
I was just doing light cleanings with hoppes and a nylon brush about every 700-1000 rounds, the problem occurred at about 3500 rounds. I was consistently hitting a 5” plate at 260 yards, then all the sudden started throwing rounds 3-4’ off. After getting a bore scope it was very obvious the problem.
Ravage88, would you mind straightening out the boys re: this “ carbon ring” business. It’s Lead. Thanks
