Agreed, I have driven enough R700 trigger pins to fill a swimming pool and I measured the pins and holes on the first V-22 because they were so tight. Numbers don't lie, hit them harder... Ha!
Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action
- Thread starter RAVAGE88
- Start date
i had one of the recalled Trigger Tech Diamond triggers on my Vudoo and replaced it myself. Holy Moly I could not believe how hard I had to hit it.
I'll be joining the Vudoo club soon. I ordered my V-22 in mid-December 2020 and was thinking of upgrading to the Three 60, but my rifle was already built, the chassis already painted, and the wait would have been too long (at least 6 weeks). So I decided to stick with what I'd ordered, and I'm glad I did! Lisa sent me this photo of what my rifle actually looks like. Looks better than I'd hoped, and already shipped out on Thursday. Can hardly wait for it to get here! Should have it by Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on how long my FFL takes to process it.

@bikeracer How far north are you? I'm in GA and its getting hot already, just curious about the it being cold enough to still have snow
Haha - it’s still Winter here in Eagle CO in the Vail Valley - we’re at 8,000 ft. Snowed last week and will snow again this week.
I'm at 5280 an it's starting to snow now. 
Here's a pic from the NRL22X match on Saturday. Cold enough to snow. Warm enough to keep the mud deep and wet. Oh how I love spring./s
This was out on the plains just South of Kiowa. East of Denver/Colo Spgs. Mid 30s until the match ended and the sun came out.

What's the over all length of your Vudoo in the MPA Chassis? I'm getting one, also with a 20" barrel...trying to see what I should get for a rifle case.
I don't know yet, since it hasn't arrived. UPS shows that it's delayed, and my FFL is closed today. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow. Might not actually have it in hand until Weds. Will post photos once it arrives, along with dimensions. I heard that 20" is not necessarily 20". Depends on optimized barrel length. Might be shortened to 19".
Haven't seen that much snow around here since the "Blizzard" of '93. We got 6" that dayI'm at 5280 an it's starting to snow now.

Has anyone regretted their 22" Kukri? I'm looking for overall balance of a traditional style stock like the KRG Bravo without needing to add unnecessary weight.
I like the one I have, but I also have the heavy butt plate spacer installed. I also have a 20” Kukri and it balances a bit better offhand.
22" Kukri will still be slightly back heavy on a KRG Bravo, it's about as good as you can get though which is why I ordered a 22" Kukri.
I like my 18” in a Manners stock. I wouldn’t go any longer than 20” personally.
I have a 22” Kukri in an AI chassis. Not perfectly balanced but will still balance on a mini fortune cookie with holding it. Wouldn’t change it at all.
My Vudoo V22 arrived today. The quality is top notch!!! Very pleased! Once it stops snowing I'll take it to the range and put it through its paces (tomorrow or Friday). Really pleased with how the color came out!

Yep...Northern Lights...but I had them add some clear to it so it would have a slight satin sheen.

Looking for length end to end? Give me a minute!
Overall length to end of buttstock: 38-1/2". Barrel length: 18-3/8". My requested barrel length was 20". But it looks great, and I'm sure they cut the barrel to the best length. Haven't weighed it yet.

Thanks. Did you measure the barrel from the face of the breach, or from the front of the action?
I think that's where your barrel measured "short" from the 20" you ordered. The barrel length should go all the way to the breach. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Great looking build!
One thing I will say (for those thinking of using a NightForce 7-35 x 56 scope) is that both the medium and large knobs will not clear the zoom adjustment screw on the NightForce when at full zoom. They told me it would clear, but they hadn't added the screw to the NightForce scope.
Weight is 14.4 lbs with bipod. That's with the RRS BTC-Pro clamp on Atlas bipod with spikes and Wiebad cheekpad. Whoops...add a bit for the bolt and bolt knob which I forgot to put in when I weighed it.
you are right. From muzzle to front of bolt face so putting a rod down the bore is the most accurate way to measure.
I'll probably just have to remove the knob. It's not on by default, but makes for quick zoom.
I ordered a V2 originally also, changed it to the Three 60 when it went public.
+1 on running the switch view lever. Being able to adjust where you want the throw is why I run one too.
Thank you for posting so many pictures. I too am waiting. So I didn’t realize that a person picks the color of a chassi. Is that custom?
Yes, for a slight upcharge you can pick a custom Cerakote color from the H Series for barrel and/or chassis. Vudoo has a Cerakote booth in-house and whoever is in charge of painting is very good: https://www.cerakote.com/shop/cerakote-coating?series=cera_h_series

I was hesitant to post this, but feel it's appropriate in this thread as a way to say that you to VGW for unknowing making hard times a bit easier & knowingly supporting a great cause.
Two weeks ago I made an emergency flight to Arkansas to be with my mom, my brother and his family and possibly speak to my dad in person for the last time. My dad died after a 2 week struggle to survive a series of heart attacks and surgery. Two days after and once the dust kinda settled my brother and I did the most logical thing we could think of, we went shooting. Shooting, more specifically precision shooting has always been a major part of our lives and our dad is the catalyst to all of that. My earliest memory has always been is my dad holding a 10/22 for me because I was too small so I could shoot it, that started it all...
My brother was shooting his Gen1 V-22 MPA 20" Kukri and I was shooting my dad's Gen1 V-22 that I won a the 2018 Army Sniper Association's Intentional Sniper Comp banquet. The rifle was built for and donated to the ASA by VGW to be raffled off. I knew my dad would love that rifle as it was built on a M40A1 style and had the S arrows of the Association which also has deep roots in my family. We are honored to own the rifle and it will always be a representation of who my father was and what he loved. Now every time my brother and I shoot it we will be a little closer to our dad.
This is a thank you to VGW from the Bell family. One shot one kill / Semper Fi
