Is that with Lapua lot tested ammo?
Jeff
It could still be lot tested ammoIt's from 2017.
Mike, will there be a Gen 3 V22? Using some additional features from the V22S like 6 o'clock firing pin, 60* bolt throw, etc?
Here is a MPA Hybrid chassis w/ a 20” barreled actionAnyone have a picture of the MPA chassis that Vudoo offers with a 20 inch barrel?
keenedge, I built a few 22RF precision repeaters (Stiller 2500XR, two 40Xs converted to use V-22 mags) before finally buying a V-22 action and building it into a heavy competition rifle. I decided that I wanted a sporter weight V-22, so ordered a bbl'd action with 18" Ranch contour ACE bbl, and put it into a Manners EH2 stock. It was a hammer - I see absolutely no reason not to specify an ACE bbl for your rifle.
Have people been shooting the CMP Eley standard with good results? I was at a match yesterday and people were mentioning (rumors) that Vudoo guys have been shooting the Eley with Center-X like results.
I'm just starting to catch up with this thread as I've been playing with a .300 PRC this summer. Our club (Quantico Shooting Club) is expanding matches and we ran a .22 NRL (Outlaw) yesterday to get our feet wet, learn a bit and get feedback. It went really well and we'll be having matches monthly! Hindsight is always 100%, but I should have shot the match. I was playing RSO instead, but I did bring my Vudoo. We had a 8" gong at 175y I wanted to shoot, so I borrowed a guys DOPE (5.2mils) and dropped 10 straight shots just right of center - should have shot the match...

I've tried two different lots of the Eley CMP. One averaged .529" 5 shot groups @ 50 yds, the other .404" on a day with so so wind conditions. For the price I think it is excellent. Don't expect to to match lot selected Center-X or something, it's not magic but I think it is better than most things less than twice it's cost. It does close hard occasionally in the Ravage chamber though so don't expect to be extracting live rounds.
I'm digging your S&B PSR scope by the way. A couple years ago at ShotShow S&B's scopes got delayed a day and didn't arrive in time for range day. All they had was a couple of PSR limited edition 5-25's that were in one of the guys luggage. These were brand new and not intended to be demos but it was all they had so the threw them in some rings for range day. I thought it was fun. Probably less so for them.
Finished up my V-22 review and posted it yesterday.
Great example of why you shouldn’t base your thoughts on whether a rifle loves a type of ammo, until you are able to try a few lots.Here are the results of the Lapua Test Center on my V-22. It's in a Grayboe Ridgeback stock with a 22" Ace barrel in MTU profile.
Really enjoyed your review on the Vudoo.I like mine a-lot and just ordered a new Mcmillan A3A for my next Vudoo build.Finished up my V-22 review and posted it yesterday.
For those of you who sent your rifle to Lapua for testing, was it worth it? Also did Vudoo send it for you?
I will give the test center a big thumbs up. For me, I thought it was definitely worth it. But understand, the Marengo test center is only 90 miles from where I live. Luke started of by testing the ammo I brought. The best lot # of Center X I could find with my limited testing measured 17.16 mm at 50m and 30.24 mm at 100m. At the test center Luke found a lot that performed much better than the Center X I brought for testing. The best out of 3, 10 shot groups was as follows...14.18 mm at 50m and 28 mm at 100m. These are all edge to edge measurements. I guess the only thing I wish was different was the the distance. I would have liked to see the tests at 50 and 100 yards, not meters. Less than a week after testing a 43lbs box of ammo showed up at my door, I was all smiles.For those of you who sent your rifle to Lapua for testing, was it worth it? Also did Vudoo send it for you?
I sent mine to Meas Az. Deva tested 20 lots of Center-X and found one that shoots .262 10 round groups at 50 and .312 for 20 round groups at 50. I ordered 2 cases of that lot. The rifle testing and turn around was 2 weeks from the time I sent it till it was back at my door. Well worth it!For those of you who sent your rifle to Lapua for testing, was it worth it?

Yes, they will test other types of ammo too. I actually brought a few different types. I had a lot # of SK RM that I wanted to see how it did. It did okay. If it wasn't for the one flier, it was at 14 mm for a group of 10 at 50m. With the flier it was at 20.38 mm. That can be the problem with SK, you get that flier now and then. Luke also tested some RWS R50 in my Annie I brought for testing the same day. I think they encourage you bringing your best ammo no matter what manufacturer it is. They want to beat what you brought.Will they test other brands of ammo too? I've been shooting a lot of SK ammo that I think I have a pretty good lot of.

You can send them your ammo and they will test it. I sent them some that I thought was good... and it wasn't that great.
That's so cool. Can't wait to see itDoin' that Vudoo thing in Colorado with @lowlight and Michael Bane from Shooting Gallery....this was loads of fun....

I've read through a ton of this thread, but could have missed it with 138 pages so far. So, I apologize if I missed this topic.
Has anyone had a barrel chambered to run the CCI SV ammo. I know it's not anywhere near the stuff that most of you guys are running, and would be less accurate, but my appetite for shooting goes down considerably as the cost of ammo goes up. I think it would be awesome to have a barrel set up for the CCI SV so that it would feed it and eject it smoothly. I also have a very early Vudoo from 2017, so maybe there have been updates so CCI SV works better, I'm not sure.
What do you guys think? Anyone else interested? Anyone already figured this out?

I know SK standard + is still more expensive than CCI SV, but that one chambers perfectly fine...
Otherwise, it'd be cheaper long run to just buy a Tikka T1X/CZ 457 which will shoot CCI SV as well as anything else...
I hear what you're saying, but I can't use any chassis/stock and r700 trigger I have with a Tikka.
I'll have to look into the SK standard. My price on CCI SV is pretty nice though.
I ordered one on Tuesday. Took the plunge.
I’m sure you will be quite happy with the Ace barrel man. Those boys at VGW know how to turn out some barrels that flat out shootI took the plunge also! Mine is due Jan 11. I also just changed my order from a 22" Shilen to a 22" ACE. Hope that wasn't a mistake....
It wasn't!I took the plunge also! Mine is due Jan 11. I also just changed my order from a 22" Shilen to a 22" ACE. Hope that wasn't a mistake....
I have an ACE on mine. (18.5”) it shoots very well. You won’t regret it.I took the plunge also! Mine is due Jan 11. I also just changed my order from a 22" Shilen to a 22" ACE. Hope that wasn't a mistake....
I have shot well over 15k rounds of cci sv in my vudoo. Other than less accuracy and consistency and a bit harder bolt close i have had zero fail to feed or extract. Mine is 13 months old so maybe its different from yours?I've read through a ton of this thread, but could have missed it with 138 pages so far. So, I apologize if I missed this topic.
