Funky bolt on there Mike. You build yourself a triple lug repeater?

It's not a weapon, it's a gun. Difference is intended target. This is per the NRA Chief Range Safety Officer course curriculum.

Weapons are used to shoot alive targets.
I got cross-ways over this BS with our NRA instructor while taking the course to get certified as a CCW instructor several years ago. He insisted we refrain from calling a concealed carry handgun a weapon, and dinged any of us that forgot or ignored him with a 25 cent fine. He & I butted heads over it when he dinged me for a quarter over supper one evening, and I told him just how I felt about the NRA's policy - mostly that it was total BS to cave to the political left with this move. I haven't changed my mind since then - if anything, I feel it's a total failure to try to appease anti-gun pukes in this way (or any other way when it comes right down to it!). He told me in no uncertain terms that he would not sign off on my instructor's certification unless I abided by the NRA's policy. A couple of my old friends in our club talked with me to get me cooled down, and I finally tossed the bastard a quarter. To top it off, he's a lawyer from our state capitol...

All I can say in retrospect is that the NRA is really wimping out/falling down on the job, whatever you want to call it - by taking this sort of a position on one of our most basic/fundamental rights - the right of self defense. I think it's quite likely the NRA has too many frickin' lawyers on their staff.
 
I gotta admit it Mike - those Foundation stocks are hot! Amazing appearance, and incredible stability; at least two of the shooters at the last CF tactical rifle match I shot had these stocks, and I had to admire their appearance. But...and this is a big deal to me, with worn-out, arthritic shoulders...they're heavier than the Manners PRS1T stocks I have on my two competition V-22 rifles. The heavier of these two rifles (both have 22" bbls - one a Krieger sendero contour, the other a Bartlein Kukri from VGW) is the Kukri, which with Athlon Cronus 4.5-29x56 scope, Harris BR bipod & empty mag weighs a hair under 13lbs, which is about as heavy as I want to shoot with nowadays. You know what that rifle in the Foundation weighs?

Flatland1, according to their website the Centurion weighs: Weight is 5lb 11 oz..

Obviously you would have to add the Vudoo Action and Barrel to that...
They do have a Light Version on the Centurion, but I did not see the difference in weight. I am sure they would tell you...
Good Shooting. 4Certain
 
For future reference for anyone planning to run Hawkins DBM get the LA latch for the DBM. The poly mags initially ran fine for me except when pressure was put laterally on the mag which I half ass fixed with some Velcro on the back of the mag. When I received one of the billet mags it sat too low and the bolt just ran over the top of the rounds. After putting in the longer latch everything is phenomenal now and the billet mags are awesome.

Beautiful setup!!! I'm sold on the Centurion. Does VGW always put knurled blued thread protectors on their stainless barrels? I've never seen them otherwise. I prefer a seamless smooth thread protector to match the barrel contour and finish....just curious.

I’m sure you can get them to cut you one.

where did you buy that latch?
 
Vudoo green in a gray Cadex stock and Oculus suppressor. I only got to shoot three groups after I zeroed it in. The .86 was with some Eley Contact and the .40 and .43 were Center X. All at 50 yards. Hopefully I can get some trigger time in Sunday. I need to bushog my shooting lane so I can see how she holds at distance. Love at first sight.

I am sure others already knew of this but looking at these pics cause me to immediately download the ballistics-x app

It’s nice to have for sure. I used the calipers for years but this is so much easier and I’ve found it to be very accurate when comparing to manually measuring. I doubt anyone is using it for a competition but certainly handy in the field
 
I started Vudoo number two. My wife has had hers for about a month and she loves it, so do I. Prints bug holes at 50 yards, easily rings 2" diameter steel at 200 yards, could not be happier. Mine is going to be an 18 inch Kukrie, with a TT Diamond. Because I'm old and lazy, they are going to put it in a McMillan A5 I had laying around.

I had been thinking that the Vudoo I have been anxiously waiting for was a clone of/trainer for my 6.5 Creedmoor but I see I have had it backwards....

I figure I’ll shoot the Vudoo 10-1 over the 6.5 so it’s not entirely crazy. I don’t compete although I’d like to at some point.

This is what I do with my BR. I shoot my vudoo 100x more because I’m a lazy bitch who doesn’t wanna load. And it’s cheaper. And I have a suppressor for my 22 so it’s quiet af when I shoot indoors. Highly recommend shooting a match if you have the time. I was nervous the first couple times but it was a blast! The only competition there should be, is against yourself!
 
Finally got to break in the new vudoo. The one box of Midas I had it seems to like. 100yd groups averaged around .75.” CenterX was around 1.1”. Mostly vertical (I think I need to refine my technique). Really love the Mesa stock. Think it’s a perfect “crossover” stock. Hawkins bottom metal. Feeding was flawless.

However, I had 3-4 failures to fire with the center x. Like light primer strikes. They fired after re-cocking. Didn’t happen with any of the SK ammo or Midas. The bolt hasn’t been stripped or cleaned so I’m going to do that and see if it helps any.
