Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

I just got my zco 420 on Monday now waiting on the barreled action going in a MPA lite chassis
Can't wait. I plan on using a TT special any issues with this trigger heard that some people had
Problems

20" Bartlein MTU

I think that’s been resolved, it may need a different sear. Worth it to have VGW to stick the trigger on it if you’re worried.
 
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?
Would i rather shoot center x or sk of course. But had i done that my last years ammo bill would have been over 4 k .
I bought cci sv when it was 220 a case and stocked up.
Of the 3 bricks of center x i bought with my rifle i have 1 left .Use it for special occasions.

Mine feeds fine and ejects 97% or so with CCI SV, but the bolt close is hard due to it seating the lead on closing. It's very noticeable if you're trying to maintain sight picture. Not sure on the occasional occurrence of it not pulling the spent case from the chamber. Honestly, it's so infrequent compared to the Stiller 2500xr, that for a while, it seemed even more minor. The Stiller almost never pulled the case out, it was terrible. If I had a reamer, I would probably try it by hand.

Bergara sells a barreled .22 action that has the same footprint as the R700. If you want to shoot lower cost ammo I recommend you look into it.
That’s what I just built while I wait for my Voodoo to get build. Is like waiting for a CAN to get out of jail.

How are the stock adjustments if say you dropped a handful of dirt or sand into it?

I’m sure Ted didn’t overlook this as he knows these stocks will be used in field. The only hands on I’ve had was at shot show. I really liked the adjustment and how it works in dirty conditions was the only question I had.

The cheek piece I'm not so sure since it's a little gear that turns to lower and raise and I am guessing sand/dirt could possibly get stuck in there.

The LoP seems like it would be perfectly fine.

I can't say that I'm willing to try this out by dumping sand in it, but I have used it quite a bit in the wind out here in NM. The gear is actually pretty large for what it does and it's very robustly built. A grain or two of sand will be so small in relation that I don't think it would be even noticeable. The lunar dust that we have here hasn't affected it at all and I would think that larger particles would just fall away. The LOP system should be fine regardless of either type of dirt or dust.

i haven’t had any issues with the adjustments on my xylo nucleus with debris. Summer time dust was fine and same with snow. Though if you pull a dummy like me and let it freeze on the LOP over night in the truck you might need to let it thaw out.

Thanks for the video!

I do have another question! Are any of the v22s modifications going to make an appearance on v3 v22? 60 deg bolt, 6 o'clock firing pin, etc?

@RAVAGE88 I’m super curious about what features are coming in gen3. Im a big fan of a 60deg action since my primary rifle is a TRG. It’s probably the main reason I haven’t bought one yet.
 
I've got a Gen1 that runs like a champ, but I want another!
Definitely interested in the next V22 evolution before buying another barreled action.
Also, anyone know whether the Sinister stock be opened for the MTU contour in a complete rifle build?
 
Speaking of wanting another - just yesterday I've played with a left handed action at a match and as a lefty.....I believe I've been missing out this entire time......

Now I need to convince 🎅 I've been good this year and give VGW a call.....but kinda afraid to hear the lead time on them...

Currently I have a 20" MTU in Cadex Defence Lite Competition Chassis, it's heavy...

Entertaining a proof barrel, but not sure if it would be a good choice for NRL22/X and Rimfire PRS type of shooting....since it seems like people put extra weights on their chassis....

Not sure on chassis but I do like MPA (got one on my cz455 and rem700)

The longer you wait, the longer the lead times :)

Don't get a Proof Barrel, it really doesn't make any sense unless you're trying to do a lightweight squirrel killer. Not only are you spending more on the barrel, it doesn't shoot as well as their Ace barrel, and you have to spend more money on weights...
 
Truth is what you said about the lead times!
Thanks for the insight about the proof barrels- i kind of figured that just wanted to see what others experience was...
 
A couple of years back, I ordered a V-22 bbl'd action with their ACE Ranch contour bbl, finished at 18". Was trying to built a lightweight sporter, and to that end, I put the bbl'd action in a Manners EH2 stock. Nothing against VGW or their ACE barrels - this one shot great. It's just that with the Ranch contour bbl, the rifle was really butt-heavy. I eventually pulled the Ranch bbl and replaced it with a Krieger #4 sporter contour that I finished at 22". It now balances right in front of the DBM, and is almost a pound heavier - this combination is quite a bit easier to shoot from the bench with a bipod while testing ammo - the extra weight up front makes it easier to break a shot without having the rifle move at the break, and I like it better in offhand than the butt-heavy feel. The V-22 action is heavy, and unless Mike & Paul decide it's worth trying to adapt it to being made of titanium, there's a limit on how light you can go with one. If a shooter really wants a lightweight sporter, might be better to look at building one on an action like the CZ457...

My proof shoots pretty goo
 
Anyone running their Vudoo in a Manners TCS stock?
I'm interested in using a 20" barrel and would like to know by how far the muzzle will clear the ARCA rail. I don't see that spec listed on Manners web page.

I am, with a 20" barrel and it's friggin awesome.

Here is a PRS2 stock with a 12" ARCA rail on it and an 18" barrel. So add 2" to the rail and 2" on the barrel and that is the length on the stock and barrel you are looking at.
