@Krob95 and I were able to get out and shoot indoors as it's literally single digit temps the last few and next few days.

25 yards. 10 rounds. This was about 100 round into break-in. I think it's gonna be a keeper. 🤠

And 50 yards. 10 rounds.

Just had my first Vudoo part show up!!! 10 round magazine from Mile High Shooting. It’s 17* in West KY this morning and back yard was full of blackbirds. Grabbed the B14R and Vudoo mag with a flawless cycle to shoot at some. Miss read the wind and shot just beside it. Went ahead and ran the KYL Rack at 50 for a few shots. .3-.5 mil wind hold at 50 is rough!!! April 25 th can’t get here soon enough.
 
Why do a lot of people just report 25 yard groups?
Wouldn't be better to report 50 yard groups?
I guess it is all about the distance you normally shoot.
I have 25 and 50 yards in the pics but we shot out to 100. Those groups were just ok yesterday. We're thinking the range exhaust is effecting the bullet. It's quite windy down at 100. enough to move the targets which are on sturdy racks. I've noticed this a lot at my range lately.

Did some additional ammo testing on mine today. 6 different types in some pretty nasty weather.

20” MTU
Manners TCS
Diamond 2 stage
Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 in a Spuhr
Atlas Bipod and rear bag

After this session the rifle now has 350 rds on it.

31 degrees
70% humidity
29.65 station pressure
4-5 mph winds from the rear

It will shoot pretty much anything at 50yd and less but this is why I like seeing 100 yd groups. The wolf is old stock from when Lapua made it. It normally shoots much better but today velocity seemed to be very inconsistent in cold temps.



 
I'm 100% with you on this... 50y is OK and all -- but I'm after the 100y and beyond. I wonder how much more your groups will tighten up as you continue putting rounds down the pipe... looking forward to your progress man! Looking good so far!

Thanks! Yes I am too. I put 120 rds on it when I first got it to find what it liked and a get a quick dope, then had a match with 110 rds. Those first 100 rds had scary groups, like 8-10” at 100. So seeing this today made me happy and I’m sure it will only improve.
 
In least we forget 22 lr is designed for peak accuracy at 50 yds - 50 meters Sammi spec’s. We have to accept what we can get further out 100 yds. and beyond so don’t get to upset with those distint groups.

Call them. They have some inventory not listed and/ or showing out of stock. I bought my first Vudoo from them when the website showed out of stock.
This. I stopped even bothering to check their site for stock on anything... I just call or stop by and poke around... I don't know where they get their ammo from... but they do... among many other things.
 
Same with me... my current “date scheduled” is March 4th.

I emailed to check on how close the dates have been running to actual shipping and they said that my specific order might get held up a bit due to having the spiral fluting done as well as the bedding of the action...

I’ll post up here when I take the transfer from my FFL. 🤘🏻🙂

It's worth adding ( I hope) that each rifle setup is at least a bit different. With supply chain challenges yet to be solved, your build arriving on time or not could be the result of the absence of a single part (stock, trigger...). We've all read of stock/chassis deliveries falling behind leading to the delayed shipping of a number of rifles. There is no uniform pacing of actual shipping dates to estimated shipping dates.
 
I'm in the beginning stages of the Vudoo rifle, Apparition. Looking at the MTU contour, is there a "sweet spot" in regards to barrel length? Just for information, Most of it's shooting will be at 50-100, occasional trip to 200 or 300. I don't do any formal competition, just bench shooting for fun. It's not a "trainer" etc, again, just a fun gun.
Looking at the Vortex Golden Eagle scope for it, what scope base should I go with?

I understand I will have to talk with them, but to get into it and potentially upgrade later to a better chassis if needed, I plan to go with the KRG Bravo initially. Didn't see it on the drop down.

Oh, what's the typical lead time?

Appreciate it!

Sweet! JD, In lieu of the Arca on the Atlas, can a short 1913 rail be mounted?

If you just wanting a KRG Bravo order the Ravage. Apparition is built in a chassis to begin with. Ravage will drop into a chassis at a later date no matter what.
From what I gather on the MTU 20” is the sweet spot for balance on barricades. If you are just going to bench shoot I would say 20” would be fine in either Kukri or MTU.
Wait time when my Ravage was ordered in Jan was 16 weeks. I have 8 weeks to go as of today.
I would also look at 30moa base for a minimum. You might want to stretch its legs one day.

Hope my little bit of info helps.

Lead time I was quoted on my build sheet put it at almost 5 months.

Looks like I need to do a deposit soon.
Barrel, MTU 20"?
TT Diamond, SS
Bravo
Scope base, ____ MOA?

Any functioning difference in aluminum vs. plastic mags?
It will come with the plastic style mags. They seem like a fiberglass composite of some sort. I have one at the house I'm running in my Bergara. I ordered 3 spare with the rifle. I will have a total of 5 now. I don't have a reason to buy the metal ones.

If you're shooting out to 300, go 30moa, you'll still have a good 50yd zero and @2/3rds of your elevation travel. I have a 20moa and have a little over half of my internal travel with a 50yd zero.
Plastic mags are solid. I have a 15rd alum on backorder,but the plastic mags haven't failed me in years now... Well into 5k rounds spread through 7 mags.
You're gonna love your Vudoo.
 
Excellent! 30 Moa it is.

Barrel-20" is the consensus?

I'm debating the scope
Taking a look at the Vortex Golden Eagle now, remember, I'm semi retired and not running and gunning matches.

22" balances better than a 20". I'd go w/ a 40 MOA base if your scope has enough travel. Most do. 40 MOA is about 13 MILS. You'll need a scope capable of at least 26 MILS total elevation travel.
 
Welp, got word today that my build is going to be held up... but - I'm glad. hahaha!

Vudoo contacted me today saying that the barrel I chose for my build (20" Ace Kukri) is on backorder and that my rifle wouldn't be hitting the date they originally gave me for an estimated delivery (March 4th). They did however give me the option to change to a Bartlein barrel and no fluting to still hit the date they gave me... to which I declined. I figured if I'm going to build this thing I want it to me exactly what I want.... yet still -- this is good customer service in my book. Let the customer know what's up and give them options (if there are any).

I'm glad that this is pushing my build out tho... I've had some "other things" pop up that have pushed on funds as of late. Vudoo gave me the opportunity to push my date out (I chose June 1st) so I'm not starting over again... which is cool. I also asked if I could make payments on the build between now and then and they were happy to take my money.... "whatever / whenever you want to put some money down - send and email and we'll get it done - no problem".... so that's cool too!

I'm getting back into dirt-biking. My 11yo son has been bugging me to teach him how to ride and I've decided to take the plunge while he's still young enough to get hurt and pop right back up... lol.... Got a good deal on a bike for him last weekend and I just put my deposit down on a 2021 Beta 500RR-S!

No matter what way I cut this pie I'm set to have a killer summer! (and spend all my monies whilst doing so! 🤷‍♂️)
 
Vudoo did an excellent job on their ACE barrels. I went with Bartlein for mine, but if you talk with the guys at Vudoo they pretty much say that there is zero difference in terms of accuracy. I guess the determining factor for me at this time is if selecting one brand over the other has an impact on the delivery date.
 
MOA rail? I got the 20MOA rail. Why? Basically, it more useable at closer ranges. BUT-I also use Burris Signature scope rings. These come with polymer inserts that I can add or subtract scope angle up to 40MOA in 5MOA increments if I need it. The other nice thing about these rings is that you can adjust for cant if necessary, and the polymer inserts won't mark the scope tube at all.
