Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

[RandomWAguy]

Question for people who have gotten their vudoos in the last month or so from Vudoo, how long of a delay did you have?

My three 60 is scheduled to ship the 14th, so trying to see if itll be close.

 

[Defender32]

Mine was scheduled to ship yesterday. It is waiting on a 20" Ace Kukri Barrel. I also did a Stock/ Chassis swap, but the chassis was in stock at Vudoo. I was told barrels are a week or 2 behind and that was first of April. Grayboe Ridgeback stocks were also behind.

 

[RandomWAguy]

Going with 18" Ace mtu, I'll figure end of the month, hopefully.

Mine is also scheduled for the 14th.. the 14th of July

 

[RandomWAguy]

My Wife said to think of it as a Fathers day gift that I may get early

 

[Trung Si Ma]

Yeah, I just booked mine for august in Ohio.

Mine is also scheduled for the 14th.. the 14th of July

At least its sooner than 2 August! I hope you get your early so they have more time to work on mine!

 

[Quickoz]

I was told by the Aussie Importer that mine was expected in to arrive incountry in May. But dont know if thats May 1st, or 31st

No rush here. Just got my new 17HMR licenced and new 22-250AI barrel for varminting so will play with that for a bit while I wait.

LH BA order placed 30NOV.....
At some point changed barrel length...
Then added a stock to the order...
Shipped them TT Diamond for install
Still patiently waiting for that shipment notification email....

My RH V22 makes the time go by quick....

I wonder why LH is so backed up? I'm about to place an order for a LH 3 60 for my wife. No dealers stock LH right?

I have not found any dealers offering LH.
I was told the LH bolt nose was the culprit in the hold up...

I'm tempted to place a order for a 360 lefty and take my time waiting for it while I enjoy this one when it does comes in....

I've seen Altus has the LH model on their list, but not in stock ever, you might drop em an email about possible re-stock ETA on LH models? Milehigh too iirc?
Love my Gen1, okay with the loooong wait for the LH360, probably mid or early August is my bet...

Some time ago @Tiger_Shilone originated a thread describing his lightweight 22LR build for competition. My understanding is that lightweight rifles are inherently more challenging to shoot accurately than heavy rifles. Since challenges interest me, the following are the components of my lightweight build:

1. Barrel action: No brainer, Vudoo V22 with 18.0” Kukri contour Proof CF barrel and 20 MOA Al rail
2. Bix’nAndy 2-stage TacSport Pro trigger with Gator shoe

Weight of 1 + 2 = 4.35lb

3. Vudoo Factory DBM bottom metal and action screws; weight =0.37lb
4. Vudoo 10 shot polymer mag; weight = 0.22lb
5. Grayboe Phoenix stock; advertised weight = 2.00lb, actual weight =2.03lb

The other reasons for selecting the Phoenix are: (1) The adjustable comb/cheek rest. If you run a scope and are not anatomically blessed, then an adjustable comb is a necessity;(2) 21st Century technology attachment points, M-Lok plates and QD flush cups rather than 19th Century technology sling studs;(3) The LOP system, efficient, lightweight and adaptable. The memory-foam butt pad is a joy, not for recoil management with 22LR but for its conformability and “grippyness”, both contributing to a firm shoulder weld;(4) The universal barrel channel, the ultimate in functionality at the expense of aesthetics if you do not like a barrel channel “too large.” However, physics says a barrel channel that has space for convection from both the top and bottom halves of the barrel will run cooler than a barrel with convective cooling from only the top half of the barrel. Whether the additional convective cooling is significant is an open question;(5) The Phoenix can be configured for a large number of actions and bottom metals. For my build a Vudoo action inlet and the Vudoo Factory DBM were appropriate. Absolutely no issue with feeding from the Vudoo 5 shot aluminum mag or the 10 shot poly mag;(6) Wait time of about 6 weeks not 6 months or longer; (7) World-class customer service similar to VGW.

6. Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x42 with 3” Sunshade and NF Ultralight Low 30mm rings; weight = 1.53lb

This is a lightweight scope that suits my purposes, ie. shooting standing offhand at 46yd, 98yd and 198yd. The reticle is a simple duplex with an illuminated red dot. Since I graduated to scopes from red dots a reticle in the second FP, a red dot and a ballistic turret for three fixed distances is optimal.

Total weight = 8.50lb

I'm planning on repurposing my 18" stainless kukri to a lightweight build. Currently -
Razor HD AMG + arc m10 Rings = 34oz
VGW 18" Kukri w/ Huber 2-stage = 89oz
XLR Element Magnesium 4.0 = 28oz
Poly mag = 3.5oz

So total weight will be 9.6lbs

I was told they are still waiting for the LH 360 actions as of this week but should be soon. I have one on order and should be early in the left handed 360 deliveries, hopefully June.

Where is the balance point on your rig?

 

[BushyAR15]

I was told they are still waiting for the LH 360 actions as of this week but should be soon. I have one on order and should be early in the left handed 360 deliveries, hopefully June.

UGH!!!!!!! I called them on Monday as my "ship date" was supposed to be on Monday after waiting about 14 weeks to find out where my LH Apparition is. So if it's June thats 7 months waiting. They said they are behind and would get back to me to let me know the hold up is. They did say they didn't do LH very often so it could be the action. So reading your post that it could be June bugs me some. June is when the next NRL22 season starts and I'd like to have the rifle totally sorted before the start.

Well I'm not exactly happy about this...

 

[J-Ham]

Expecting a company to predict the future down to the day seems a bit unrealistic to me, even under the best circumstances... Factor in the shit show that's been 2020 & 2021 and it becomes more difficult. Extreme increase in demand combined with a shortage of raw materials, shipping delays, etc make that request next to impossible. I understand you're excited to receive your new rifle, but try to understand that there are a LOT of factors outside of Vudoo's control at play here.

Even if they don’t do left handed very often they should still be able to turn one out inside of 7 months.
they’ve been backed up (that I’m aware of) since I ordered mine last September.

 

[rick137]

@Tomiboy:

Center of the magazine. Perfect for me since I shoot standing offhand with support arm pushed against my torso. If you wanted balance point moved forward could add weights to the two M-Lok plates. The M-Lok weights from MDT weigh 0.39lb or with a bipod attached to an M-Lok picatinny rail. Another of the good features of a lightweight build is you can do many configurations with mags, slings scopes to increase the weight or alter the balance. I suggested to Grayboe they could offer aluminum and steel buttstock spacer plates with same geometry as the current polymer plates to shift balance point as far backward as desired.

[Defender32]

It could be a case where the Left Hand Action is available, but the Chassis/ Stock in the Left hand is not available.

 

[Tree]

When doing a full build you are not only dependent on Vudoos production schedule but also the availability of whatever chassis and trigger manufacture you ordered. I did a barreled action in December and received it in the quoted timeframe. No waiting for other companies.

I changed my original barreled action order to a 360 and I supplied the barrel so a different situation than a full build. I just love that when they bring a new product to market the southpaws don’t have to wait on the majority before they go into production.

Wonder if this will work for the bolt disassembly?

V2, Single shot, and Three 60 bolts are tool-less disassembly from what I understand. I won't have hands on, until I get mine in about 8 weeks.

 

[Luke22:36]

No tools necessary. All of the "new" generation V22 bolts disassemble/assemble just like on this video for the V22S...

Mine is a Gen2. Knew I should have went to Youtube!!!! SHooting in the rain last Saturday makes me want to take it apart fully, clean and re lube.

Been looking at the McRee G10 Comp chassis. I have not seen a Vudoo in one that I know of. Does anyone have a Yea or Nope??? I once had them on some Center Fire rifles and really liked them.

Just wanted to drop a general FYI to all Vudoo hopefuls waiting on builds in the near term -
I was one week past my projected ship date on a V22 BA that was changed to a 360, so I emailed yesterday asking for an update and received this email below from Jill at Vudoo:

“Your barrel has been spun. Normally you'd only be about 2 weeks out at this point. However, we've had a "heat treating" delay of our firing pins. As a result it could be a week or two longer (maybe!) I will know more this next week. I will follow up with you to let you know, as soon as I know more

Have a great weekend!!”

Yup thats the same response I received. One thing is they are super awesome to work with. My rifle was supposed to ship this week. But as you see above the firing pin has delayed it. It allowed me to make a last minute change! Also I'd rather have it right than have to call them with issues...

[Defender32]

Spent 4 hours at the Gun Range this morning. I received my Burris XTR3 this week and removed my RT25. I really like the XTR3. I think there is a Parallax issue going on in my RT25 as I was having major issues being able to focus the Reticle and Target over the past 2 weeks. I will be contacting Burris this following week. I have also found a Lot of SK Rifle Match my rifle don’t care for at all. The SK Standard + it seems to like fairly well. 50 yard target and 100 yard target. 50 rounds of each flavor on each target. Paper targets were off the bench. Rifle Match is on top. Then I worked on 200 rounds of barricade shooting at 100 yards. Ladder, Tank Trap and pipe rack.Rifle now has right at 1600 rounds through it.

 

[Defender3]

Shot my first ever match today, a PRS Rimfire at the Quantico Shooting Club, using my V-22 in an AICS. I didn't do as well as I would have liked (18th) but at least I looked good.

 

[Ronin_64]

Nice. Waiting for my 360 barreled action which I am planning on dropping into an AI chassis.

Anyone using the MagPul Pro 700 stock on their Vudoo?

I am interested in this also. I have my Vudoo in a Bravo but have a Magpul Pro on another 223 trainer. I am considering swapping over.

Wow, those are some good groupings! Nice shooting. More than good enough for NRL22 matches. I too have a VTRIII Really good scope. My only complaint is with my old eye, the .2 increments can be hard for me to see with my old eyes. But excellent scope.

 

[Defender32]

I opened up a new case of SK Rifle match last night to see if it was better. I can say it is WAY BETTER that the previous case I have 3500 rounds left of. I will dedicate this case to long range PRS/ NRLX matches. And the 3500 rounds to a standard NRL22 COF. I stretched her legs out to 400 yards this morning and was banging a 10” plate at 400 no problem. Targets is 3-10 shot groups at 100. Data is of 1 of those 10.

Question to anyone using NF ATACR F1 7-35 on their builds....

Any issues with parallax for NRL22/PRS distances?

 

[littlepod]

Question to anyone using NF ATACR F1 7-35 on their builds....

Any issues with parallax for NRL22/PRS distances?

It parallaxes down to 11yd. I've seen a lot of people use it in NRL22, and haven't heard any complaints. I was about to buy one, but went with a ZCO instead for the wider FoV and EyeBox.

 

[Badjujuu]

Cool, wasn't sure since some forums indicate that owners have a issue with the printed distances on the knob not matching up to targets distances.... thanks

 

[littlepod]

Printed distances on the knobs match up to distances at room temperature. As it gets colder, it generally will take more on the knob to line up. For example on the ZCO at 45 degrees, I'm usually at the 150 mark on the knob for 100. At room temperature it's spot on. In a 100+ degree temp, I'd be at the 80ish mark for 100.

 

[Badjujuu]

That's interesting, as I am not experiencing that with my razor or just not paying attention and adjusting the parallax knob as needed.

 

[Rob01]

Cool, wasn't sure since some forums indicate that owners have a issue with the printed distances on the knob not matching up to targets distances.... thanks

Numbers on any scope’s parallax are just rough estimates. Sometimes they are close but usually they are there to get you in the area to fine tune it.

 

[Badjujuu]

Appreciate the responses, not going to beat the dead Horse on parallax just wanted to know how's NF working out for the 22 crowd....

We're picking one up for my brothers 20" MTU and that's the route he wants to go.

I run a razor and from comparison the ATACR does have tighter field of view...but can't compare it since dont remember looking thru one before to give a opinion.

Any recommendations for a Vudoo mag holder? I think I need to upgrade from my cargo pocket.

 

[Badjujuu]

Any recommendations for a Vudoo mag holder? I think I need to upgrade from my cargo pocket.

I had 2 custom made by my FFL, there are couple on the market (short action precision) etc but if someone can correct me, any aics mag holder will work
