Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

I have a 40 rail and an Athlon Cronus BTR on a MPA Hybrid started with the medium and went to the high ARC rings. Everybody fits differently even to the same rifle. Hard to know until you try it.

Are you running a sunshade and the NV bridge? I have an MTU profile so I don't see why it wouldn't work on your gun.
I forgot I switched some stuff around. I am currently running my Vudoo in the Hybrid Chassis, the top rifle in the picture. This is the Ares ETR not the Cronus BTR. This is a 40 MOA Rail. The Hybrid does not have a Bridge. This barrel is the Kukuri profile ARC High Rings with sunshade.

The bottom rifle is a MPA 6.5 CM in the BA Comp Chassis with the Bridge and a Cronus BTR with a sunshade, which will unscrew for removal with the bridge in place. This is a 20 MOA Rail. I put them next to each other so you could see the differences. Both scopes have a 34MM tube and 56MM Objective lenses. Both of the Diopter are screwed out to where I run them.

Ok, no more drip feeding, it's time for full fire hose.

The VGW V-22 is a true-to-scale mid-lock rimfire bolt action with integral recoil lug. One of the many unique features of this design is, for a mid-lock, there are no lug ways forward of the lug abutment in the receiver. The rail is MilStd 1913, available in 0, 25 and 30 MOA. The action is currently in full production and available from Vudoo Gun Works in St. George, UT.

This rifle has no finish on it yet and of course, it uses my AICS patterned magazine that is currently fielded in many 40X Repeater Conversions. The action is a direct drop in to any Rem700 Short Action Stock or Chassis, with the only accommodation being the ejection port is shorter than the standard Rem700/40X length port. Unlike the 40X Rimfire, the lugs in the VGW V-22 are concealed.

I'll be spending more time on the range tomorrow and will post video of it cycling, but it runs like a Swiss watch.

Thanks, Guys....

I have a LH version in production now. I have NEVER looked forward to a rifle more than this one. Going all out top of the line on this build. Athlon Cronus, Cyke Bipod, Trigger Tech, MDT ACC Chassis and an integral Armtac suppressor.

What height scope rings for 56mm on a 40moa base?

If I had to do everything over again, I'd just go with 1.1" rings all the time for standard rifle setup. The whole trying to get it as low as possible is just an antiquated approach. 1.1" rings will clear all rifle setups that I've encountered. If you're talking about enclosed foreend, NV ridges then you'll want to just go with the standard 1.4-1.5" and be safe.

If I want to go "as low as humanly possible" which I regret doing, it's a 1" height for 40moa base and 2.5" objective diameter. Don't forget the objective size is related but it's not the same as the objective of the tube. So 56mm doesn't mean that your objective is 56mm. All of my 56mm scopes have an objective that is 2.45" to 2.6"

I thought I wanted lower rings and I have completely switched around to higher. You can't see how low the adjustable cheek pieces are on these MPA chassis. For my large noggin I could not get comfortable on the lower rings, but others do.

The higher the rings you go, the more natural your head position is...

I'm in the process of swapping all my .9" rings to 1.2.

What's your projected delivery time on the LH?

I ordered mine 30 November and was told about 14 weeks....

Also LH..
 
Does anyone have a fix for feeding issues with the magazine?

When I load up ten rounds I end up having issues with the nose of the round not being elevated enough to clear the front of the magazine.
I've disassembled and cleaned my polymer mag as well as bought a metal mag thinking that may alleviate the issue but both have the same problem. I've tried loading the magazines different ways to get the rounds to stack on each other correctly, but it seems like the only way to prevent it is to load it to 5 rounds.

Any tips?

I had that issue with the aluminum mag. New follower helped. Also making sure that rounds are stacked correctly like you said, no issues since

Thanks for that video, just loaded up my mags how he demonstrated and I did not have the same issues. I've got a competition this sunday so hopefully this clears up my feeding issues.

Anyone have a pic of anything cerakoted “vudoo green”? Just got my vudoo and I’m not sure what color it is but I’m not loving it. Not sure if it’s worth emailing them about or not. I’d like to see what shade they sent me and what the other shade is first (they offer 2 shades of green but don’t have any example pics in the website)

Post a pic! I like the Vudoo green.

I’ll take it off your hands

This is what they sent me. Not what I was expecting. I ordered “sniper green” which is a color that MPA offers. I didn’t realize vudoo paints the mpa chassis themselves so when I ordered a color they don’t offer they sent me one of their shades of green. I’m not sure if this is vudoo green or their OD green.
 
Yeah, the second if what I remember, more pea soup ish, lol. Vudoo will probably make it right for you if you want, but I'd shoot the hell out of that matrix, it looks great as is with the greyish tone.

I don’t hate it. I’d just like to see what the other green they offer looks like before I go through the hassle of sending it back right after I waited 18 weeks to get it.

I like it. What length barrel?

Definitely not a chassis/stock fit problem. You can see the tip of the round is blocked by the magazine due to the angle of the round.

It looks like a loading issue. I have a tendency to put the last round in like the one on the right side if I'm not paying attention. Not sure why that last round likes to do that sometimes.
 
Fantastic looking rifle, prefer the color they send you. Also like the look of the non-threaded barrel.

Are there two types of magazines floating around? I have one with black follower that take extreme force to fit in a manners mini chassis. I have one with a red follower that fits perfectly and will drop freely. Neither have feeding issues.
 
So that's 20" MTU plus weight kit. Exactly what I'm looking for from a balance perspective. Has anyone achieved that level of balance with a Kukri and a weight kit? I have the A419 ARCA rail and I believe they make a weighted version. Maybe I'll try that first. I will experiment with some weights first before I do it to see what may be possible.

Don’t have a pic handy but run a “20 kukri BA on Manners TCS. All weights in ARCA rail and rear weight removed. With Atlas bipod up front it just barely balances. 20” MTU is the way to go IMO.

Did the exact same thing...

This is lite 28oz scope too and a heavyish mdt ckye pod. All 7 weights in the arca rail and no magazine/bolt in the picture. You want a 20-22" MTU to really get this thing to balance. Get the steel arca rail as well from Manners..

I just asked last week about vudoo green and this is what they sent me.
