This was the batch I ended up getting from Lapua
.42" group with 20 shots at 50m
These were the 10 shot groups at 100m
.88" and .80" 10 shot groups at 100m.

By chance, does anyone have the weight of a 22” mtu barreled action?
Looking for the weight of the barreled action by itself.
Thanks

That’s what I have. I don’t have a real accurate scale but I can get you a ballpark number on the bathroom scale lol
I’ve had my V22 for just under 2 years. it always puts a smile on my face when I shoot it.
Thank you. The rifle in the FB post belongs to one of our sponsored shooters, I don't recall which trigger he's using.

Shot a match today with the ol girl and placed fourth. Nothing to write home about but I’m pleased given the switchy and random wind we had and the 90+ degree weather.
Nice job. I finally am getting mine out to two matches later this month including the first PRS rimfire series match in the Southeast. Interested to see how that goes.
I got 30MOA too and seekins rings but have been wondering if I should have gone higher. Depends on the elevation travel of the scope you are mounting I guess. Me and the rings and scope are still waiting......
Just got my Vudoo with same scope and 20 MOA base. It easily goes down to 25 and if I recall, it should make it to at least 250. This was recommended to me by Greg at Vudoo. I am pleased.
Revo, I had a PST Gen 2 on my Vudoo Gen 1 with a 20 moa base. The Gen 2 has 36 moa on the reticle. that would take my set up to about 260 yards with no Knob Twisting. (I do not turn knobs except for zeroing...) I have recently moved to a Burris XTR III 5.5-30 x 56. It has 68 on the reticle. 24mm tube. The Vudoo website has a nice layout of what MOA bases for normal distances...
For Vudoo with Eley Black Box Match MOA 24 was about 200 yards. I have shot to 260 yards so far. Hope to stretch it out soon. Per my program, 46 MOA should be about 300 yards and 58 MOA should be about 350 yards. It has been correct at distances to the 260. Hopefully it will bear out at the longer distances as well. Should know relatively soon... Just need time and little wind!
I have been using the Leapers UTG Pro Precision Optics Interface Rings, Low with the PST Gen2. Med with the Burris. I think the Vortex Rings Low would work with the Burris and get them just a touch closer to the barrel. I have the UTG rings on a number of rifles. Very sleek and nice. Have worked well for me. They are USA Made and considerably less expensive at MidwayUSA. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1018590022 .
So far I have been pleased with the Burris. I like the PST as well. It seems to me the Burris is a bit of a step up in clarity and reticle. I do like the non touching middle of the PST. The Burris crosses...
Good luck and enjoy the Ride!

Small sample size, but seems consistent with my past outings. I dont know if it is this lot of SK Long Range, or all lots are this way but my V22 loves it. The below are 5 shot groups, with one 10 shot per ammo type (less SK Plus as I ran out). All shot at 100 yards.

What's the height of the scope rings you're using and how much clearance do you have with the barrel?
They are the "low" height. Clearance - somewhere between 1/8" and 3/16".
Should also note it is the 30 MOA base and M24 contour if you're wanting to get exact on a build.
Awesome thanks. That’s about 1lb more than my kukri/zco/arc combo.
I think I’m going to order a revelation stock for the kurkri to balance it out. And stick the centurion in the closet to be used whenever the 3lug comes around. The centurion is a bit ass heavy with the kukri, but not terrible (and some prefer this). I’ll get a heavier barreled action later for the centurion.
I put the brass inserts in my Exodus to balance mine out because it was ass heavy. Balance is great now.
Sometimes I wish there was a slightly heavier contour available from vudoo.
+1 Did the same as mine was noticeably ass heavy in the Exodus as well.
I'm a little concerned on the offhand stages of the monthly NRL match - I'm going to have to suck it up and practice with it to not drop all the standing shots...
It’s worth it for every other supported position to me. I’ll deal with it for a handful of shots. The weight and balance probably still benefit those shots just not the muscular fatigue if your form isn’t dialed in for those.
When I have all the brass inserts, it will balance barely in front of magwell on flat surface. But when it toss in on the bag, because of where it has to sit it’s still a little rear heavy. The mtu will probably fix that. I also ordered the weight tunable arca rail from 419.
But, I think the revelation will be a good fit for the kukri without having to add so much weight.
Does anyone know the ballistics of center x? I know Bryan litz looked into that and I’ve seen that page before but I don’t have the book
Most scopes can handle the 40 MOA and a 25/100 yard zero. You could likely get 10 MOA rings for a total of 50 MOA and still zero. 60 MOA gets most over the ability to zero at 25/50 or even 100. I'd do just the 40 MOA base as most comps are not past 300. 40 MOA base should get you at least to 400. If you're planning on going out farther than that then you're gonna need more. Or you can spend the $$$$ on a Nightforce, or similar, prism which can be added in front of the scope using a Picattiny rail that moves your cross hairs another XX MOA without changing your scope other than confirming zero after adding the prism.

Nothing to see here but I thought I'd post anyways. I was RSO'ing again this weekend at Quantico so I didn't have a lot of time to shoot, but I did bring out the Know You Limits rimfire target to give it a try at 25y with the Vudoo V-22, in an AICS, with a S&B, shooting Center X. The rifle is sighted for 50y so it was a mil high at 25. A simple hold solved that challenge and the V-22 did the rest. 5-shots on the 3" all in the same spot and no issues going down the ladder to the 1/4" target. Hopefully I can get away from RSO stuff and actually get some time to shoot!
Yeah, Litz talked about that in the recent podcasts. The BC should be in most solvers, the bullet shape is pretty close to that of the G1 model. Finally, because it is subsonic, BC plays a smaller role in computing the firing solution compared to having an accurate initial velocity.
I have just took mine out for the first time last week, I had the same problem, I emailed Vudoo they know about this problem they offered to send me a stronger spring and or the old style firing pin if I remember don't remember exactly I will be calling them tomorrow sounds like an easy fix. Not very happy about it I can tell you that. But it shoots so nice you kinda forget about it, till you remember what you paid for it.
I have a Viper PST gen 2 on my rifle with a 40 moa base. I know the specs on the Viper say it has 20 mils of total elevation but I have nearly 24 mils of available up elevation on my scope. Because of the way the zero stop works I don’t know how much I have under my 50yd zero but it obviously can‘t be much. I have a 1.06” high MPA mount on this rifle which seems about right. You can go a little lower butIt doesn’t allow much room for the bolt handle to clear the magnification ring.
Woorm, it’s an easy fix and if you’d like to discuss, shoot me a PM and I’ll be happy to get it squared away quickly.

At my request Tim "Moon" Roberts of Crescent Customs designed and fabricated a palm swell for the Vudoo 10 shot polymer mag and the 5 shot Al mag. Greatly improves the ergonomics for shooting standing offhand with a rifle having DBM bottom metal.
Great idea! Are they available for sale? And ... will they be allowed in NRL22 along with a sling?
M:
Definitely available for sale. Just contact Moon at Crescent Customs. No idea if they are legal in NRL22.
In the photo the mag on the left is the Vudoo 5-shot Al, the center is the Vudoo 10-shot polymer and the right is a 5-shot .223 Rem Accurate Mag.
The weight of the Vudoo 5-shot Al mag is 0.49 lb alone and 0.81 lb with the palm swell. For the Vudoo 10-shot polymer mag it is 0.21 lb and 0.66 lb.
Referring to the center x question.
I’ve found if you’re using a kestrel 5700 elite, you can leave the library settings with 1080(I think, I’d have to check) MV........and use the DSF function.
It will line everything up spot on. Just get your real world data, go through the dsf settings and it’s done.
If you don’t have the luxury of DSF, you’ll have to get your real world data and tweak MV, BC, and bore height to balance it all out.

TT Diamond 2 stage will be here this afternoon for my Vudoo 
Tested some ammo yesterday. Midas, Center X, SK Rifle Match, SK Rifle Long Range. All shot fairly well but found that my suppressor is opening up my groups.
Not sure if just too dirty or the suppressor. Have an identical suppressor and will try it. But it looks like I'm shooting w/o a suppressor at the next match.
BTW, I think my best 10 round group was with SK Rifle Long Range.

I was thinking of shooting unsuppressed next match too. Just so I can nail those golf balls lmao
I have read several reports that say shooting with a suppressor negatively impacts your accuracy. An interesting test, shoot same day, same ammo, a target with the suppressor and then without, 5-shot groups, see what you get. Just a thought...Tested some ammo yesterday.

I have a post somewhere on here that supports that. While my avg was only a 1/10” larger with a can, 3/5 groups were just over 1”. All at 100yd.
The groups/measurements I posted a page back also showed a favoring to SK Long Range as well. They were all shot with a suppressor on and were good enough for what I want at 100, but to the above point I've not tried without the can.
In all honesty 3/4" is about all I can personally achieve and ask for. Centerfire I'd be looking for half or better but shooting tiny rimfire groups is much harder than centerfire IMO, particularly when you go to 100 or further out.
