Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

My vudoo just got a new barrel, prepping for a fun upcoming project

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...

First target was shot unsuppressed and had an avg group size of 0.61moa with the highest being 1” due to me sucking lol

Second target was shot suppressed with a TBAC 22TD with the avg group size of 0.86MOA. We dont talk about that group on the bottom right that looks like it came from a RPRR 🤭

Note that I haven’t cleaned my barrel in approx 1000 rounds, same with my can.

Ammo used: Center X
Test Rifle: Vudoo w/ 18” proof carbon barrel
Zco 5-27x
TT 2 stage Diamond
Aiax chassis
22 TD can
Random torque on action screws because I was rushing to get to the range.

Targets shot at 100yds and back to back, with the unsuppressed being the first 6x5.

This is the second time I’ve done this test this year and the results mirror the first time almost perfectly. I am shooting consistently 1/2” groups at 100yds with this rifle unsuppressed. But the suppressed groups aren’t too terrible either and will probably shrink a little bit with a good cleaning. The two tape holes were from verifying zero and trying to get used to the trigger since it was the first day with it. All in all I bet I could repeat this test daily and come up similar results. (Accepting ammo sponsers now 😂)
 
How’s the accuracy with the 17hmr at 50 and 100yds? And even 200yds if you have any data for that? I would like to add a 17hmr to my collection at some point for a more hunting role for p dogs.

The accuracy is pretty incredible. A user just posted his 100 hard targets on FB with essentially one hole and his hits on a Coke can at 600 are pretty impressive. Look for AJ Stewart on FB, he's the same guy with recent hits at 1250 yards with his Vudoo 22LR.

Shooting Report from this morning and a bit from yesterday.

Yesterday I was set up before sunup. I was able to shoot my groups from 6:30 till just after 7:30 or so. The target from yesterday was testing ammo, Five Different Lots of Midas +. Most were descent. Save one flier Lot #2 won in my eye. That is what I used to shoot in the match today.

Today was a good morning and a beautiful morning. We started at about 66 degrees with LOW humidity. (VERY rare in AR for August.) I shot in the second flight of our match. Much more windy. Into our face, quartering some; quite variable. But I am very pleased with how the Vudoo performed this morning. I shot in our 50 yd Benchrest with dual rest fore and aft. (The rests are from Wally Brownlee of TargetShooting.com. The 100 yard Mini Palma was Bipod and Squeeze bag. The scores were good for me. I shot both matches in 30 minutes.

I have been trying the Harrell's Tuner and added a Bloop Tube yesterday. Certainly makes a racket!

My Vudoo has the Bix'n Andy TacSport Pro Two Stage Trigger. I like it. I am going to do an On and Off Bloop Tube Test. I want to compare with and without. Certainly seems like it helped.

Shoot Straight. And Pray for our Country. We need it bad.... 4Certain.

How do you like Wally Brownlee's rests, 4Certain?
What is the waiting period to get one if you don't mind me asking?
I have been thinking about giving him a call.
Good morning Sagittarius. I have four of Wally's rests. A very old early model of the model 1000; A new version of the Model 1000LP with adders on the rear. A Model 1200 and his New Model 9 Mini Rest. Those two are in my pics above. I have never had to wait very long when I ordered. Seems Wally always finds a way to send. Maybe I just caught him at a good time. His stuff is not 'cheap'. But as we know, "Cheap is not good, and Good is not Cheap!"... I like the way the top of his rests exchange. A very creative and easy swap. I like his design. Very smooth and precise with no wiggle once the main wheel is set.

My experience is his design, fit and finish, machining and finish tolerances are all great. He does good work. I had one leveling screw with a bit of chatter on it, but cleaned that up with a brush in my drill press. I would and have purchased from him again. I think Wally is a good fellow and tries hard to take care of his customers. He is a friendly fellow. I would not hesitate to call. Tell him Drew from Little Rock sent you...

I have not used or seen the Model 2400. It is a Model 1200 with a fancy top from what I see. I am sure that would be pretty sweet. I may talk myself into one of these someday...

I have just started shooting benchrest so I am just learning how to set things up and make them run correctly. I have not figured out the for/aft movement of the gun very well yet. How to maximize its time 'level'. But I think that is me still learning how to set and align the rests. I think when I receive my new Vudoo V22-S, I will learn more with that stock set up.

Glad to help as best as I am able. Have a great day; Shoot Straight and Pray for our Country. We need it... 4Certain

4Certain, thanks for your reply and the good information on Wally's rests. (y)
I appreciate it, greatly!
I figured that the front one in your pictures was an older model as I don't remember seeing it on his site.
I'm interested in his 2400 and a mini rear-rest like yours.
Seems like most all quality rests have a waiting period nowadays but Wally's doesn't seem too bad.
I always pray for our country; it's needed!

Sagittarius , he still has the 1200 on his site. That is the front rest in my pics. It is a good rest. My guess is the 2400 is a step better. I am going to see if the 2400 top would fit on my 1200. Edit: Sagittarius, I did talk to Wally this morning. The 2400 Top can fit onto the 1200 base. I have ordered one. Will see how it works. Looks pretty good to me.

It is a good thing you are praying as we all desperately need to be... I fear for our Republic.

Let me know what you end up doing. Interested in how it works for you. What Rifle will you be shooting on it?
Blessings. 4Certain

... alright. More gratuitous pics. I learned a lot in my first NRL22 match so I made some changes to the V-22. New Manner PRS1 with full ARCA rail. Adjusted the scope to allow better use in non-standard positions (like on ladders and stuff ...). Made sure I have functional flush cups so I can use the SAP sling properly. And it just looks better ...

What stock/chassis were you using prior and what "adjustments" did you make to the scope?

Looks great BTW.

Everything changes when it's on the clock. 🤠

Nice looking Rig, MPrimo. Wonderful equipment for sure. Nice Pup Too!!

What Scope Throw knob are you using?
Thank you. 4Certain
 
So most of my shooting was off a bench so my set up had me too close to the scope to allow much variation in my head location for different positions. Whenever I practiced, I adjusted myself as necessary as time wasn't an issue. With the scope farther forward, I have more flexibility in head position (it seems) and can get set up faster. I also went to the ARCA system from a standard picatinny rail mount on my previous stock. It was a T5A that was great off a bench but the thumb hole limits flexibility in positional shooting and it was difficult to shoot with my thumb along side the stock. The PRS1 has a nice little thumb shelf on the right side. ARCA offers so much more capability and I can use it on a tripod as well. The throw lever and caps are from Aadmount.

Going to hit the range today to practice some more!

I will let you know if I get a rest from Wally, 4Certain.
Right now, I need a rest for my Joe Chacon 10/22 clone at ABRA matches but have plans to get a bolt gun later on.
Either a Vudoo or RimX.
