Yep. Vet Wrap. All sorts of colors and patterns on Amazon. You know you dig the hot pink camo - https://amzn.to/3uYiUK8
I was pretty "meh" about the wrap thing until the last Guardian match and its sheet-metal-sandwich barricade, whose little window (arrow) left a long scrape on the side of my scope's objective bell. Sure, equipment gets scraped and banged up with normal use, but a roll of 2-inch black wrap was a dollar on the clearance rack so why not.
New build for my long range 22lr. Vudoo V-22 360 Barreled Action, TriggerTech Diamond 2 Stage Flat Trigger, MPA BA Comp Chassis in Tungsten, Minox LR 5-25 Scope, Spuhr SP-4601 Mount.
I watched @RAVAGE88 videos on the installation and setup and have had no feeding issues in the first 250 rounds through it. I can’t believe how smooth the action cycles. Really glad I made the jump to the Vudoo.

Love the rifle with the camo McMillan!DT Jr behind the triggers of the OG Rifle and Gen 2 and 3 Vudoo’s. He currently has four Vudoo’s but there may be a couple cool projects coming up.

Breaking in my new Vudoo 360 per Mike Bush instructions. Love the rifle. 20” Kukri with Straight cut Flutes, Trigger Tech Diamond, American Rifle rings (Thank you Greg!) Vortex Strike Eagle. Greyboe Renegrade Blck Grey Web. This Rifle was more than I expected. I ordered a Vudoo without ever seeing one. The rifle is tight! Thank you Vudoo. I just giggle when I see the groups I’m getting. I understand it’s suppose to get better . Now if I could get some Lapua. Thank You Vudoo!!!!!

Sounds Great, Sekaf. The Vudoos are indeed wonderful pieces of equipment.
What Instructions/protocol did Mike Bush @RAVAGE88 give you for Rifle Break In?
Thank you.

Can I ask a favor? Your rifle is pretty much a duplicate of what I ordered (other than mine will be green and set up for the correct - as opposed to "right" hand - could you provide the length from butt to muzzle for me? I'm starting to look at stealthier transport cases like the Tuff Pack 1050 while traveling through the less enlightened areas and want to make sure it will fit.
Vudoo #2 is finally getting to put in some work on the range.
20" Kukri, 40moa Base, ARC Rings, Burris XTR3, ARC Chassis.
This thing is a work of art all the way around. 470 rounds down the tube as of now.

There are many opinions about barrel “break-in” and I’ve even joked about it from time to time. Breaking in a rimfire barrel is real, but it’s different than what most do to break in a centerfire. Of course, opinions about how to do it runs rampant, but it’s important to note that one isn’t breaking in the barrel….they’re breaking in the chamber. The transition from the front of the chamber into the rifling to be exact.
I’m going to do a video on this, but I’ll explain it the best I can via email. It may be worth doing a FaceTime soon if you have the means to do so. So, this is how I do it:
- Shoot 20 rounds, make sure you’re shooting your best five shot groups
- Saturated numerous patches, one at a time of course, with Rimfire Blend and push them through the bore. You want the entire bore nice and wet
- Switch to your brush and push it in about half way, once it becomes wet enough, you can use it to scrub back and forth, pulling back to the chamber each time and working your way forward. Try not to push the bore past the crown and pull it back in across the crown, keep the brush in the barrel.
- Switch back to patches and do the same scrubbing action as you did with the brush
- Push a clean patch through until a patch comes out complete white
Shoot 50 rounds and repeat until 200 rounds. Clean again when you reach 200 rounds and watch groups closely.
Hope this helps.

Thank you, Sekaf.
Well I will at least do this on my Fourth Vudoo! Ha!
(I do keep mine clean and use non caustic natural cleaner (Gunzilla) and very good Lubriplate FMO-350AW oil. Soak the Carbon Ring with Bore Tech Carbon Remover each time.)

Sekaf, I soak the 22 Caliber Felt Cleaning Pellets in Bore Tech Carbon Remover, Perch them on the end of my 20 Caliber Tipton Rifle Jag and then Carefully insert into the chamber. I push it in just past the chamber into the rifling. I do this for Three Felt Pellets. And on the third just push them in to or just at the end of the chamber. That makes them 'swell' and forces the Bore Tech Carbon Remover into the carbon build up area. I leave it for 15 minutes then push them out. And finish cleaning my barrel. I do 80% of the cleaning before I go after the carbon ring.
The Pic attached is a similar Felt Pellet but 25 caliber. It is for my Air Rifle. I just could not find the 22 Caliber Package....
I use the 20 caliber jag because I like to control tightness with patch size.

ok. Thanks. I use the same type in my cleaning. I really do like how they work. Ever find a deal on a big amount Of pellets?
Got my 360 in this afternoon. Had to run to the range and try it out.
Good so far, but I suspect it’s a great shooter. Need a little more time to learn the gun.

Sekaf, It seems the Tipton come in the 100 count. So far I have gotten these from MidwayUSA. I do reuse mine. I keep the used ones in a small screw lid container. They stay pretty clean from what I can tell. So I reuse for a bit then discard. I have seen 300 count in another brand on Amazon. But they did not have the little center hole. The little hole is quite helpful in getting them placed.

Three 60 action 18" mtu in Vudoo green
KRG xray with arca forend and xl spigot
Triggertech two stage diamond
Athlon etr in warne skyline mount
Weighs 15.2lbs balances right about where the tripod head is. Will get out to break it in Friday!
Holy god that xl spigot is huge!
Nice setup
I'm jealous on the three 60... I have a few more months until mine arrives...Good evening F4. It is the www.targetshooting.com Rest Model 2400. Wally Brownlee is the owner. He is a good guy from what I can tell. I have purchased several rests from him over the last 10 or 14 years. He has a number of variations possible and will talk with you if you need something added to your rest. So far the 2400 has been great for me. It does require a separate knob for Up and Down and Lateral. But I think that has been good for me. I have not yet used the Joy Stick kind. I also have a Model 1000 with the upgrades on the rear of the rest like the 1200 LP. I like it as well, but that, being a one piece rest, is not allowed on most benchrest matches. Good luck on your efforts.

Left hand three 60 with a 24” Bartlien custom contoured barrel
That’s awesome. I see some Center X. If you don’t want that you can toss it my way
. Congrats. Now the fun starts!
Just ordered my Vudoo can't wait to get it in the next couple days.
What did you order and who from? What chassis are you planning on using?
Vudoo V-22 Barreled Action Combo - 20" MTU from https://www.area419.com/
I'm putting it in a Oryx Chassis https://oryxchassis.com/us/
Which I like the looks of hoping I like the feel if not I'll be using their 30 day money back guarantee. I'll also be using my Bushnell Match Pro from my Ruger RPR for now.
I have a couple of questions from a newbie. I’m going through break in. I found some targets online and print them myself. Im using the type in the picture. I place my dot in the middle of the square and see it perfectly but after a few shots the square gets eaten up by hole it’s hard to see exactly, so I move my point of impact below the square? Is that what guys do? Also I have a trigger tech Diamond. Best trigger I personally ever used. Vudoo tells me it left the factory at about a 1lb 6oz. Seems a little heavy. What do guys set theirs at?. I’m using guns just for targets.
here is a target at 100 yard. Mike Bush posted a pic of a guy who’s target at 100 was one small hole. I know it takes tons of practice and right ammo.Also How many shots does it take a vudoo to basically break in? Love this site and all the help. Thanks guys!

This target you put the crosshairs in the center of the circle. Dial up so the group impacts at the square. That way you don’t chew out your aim point.
Break in is roughly 200 rounds for a Vudoo, just did my break in yesterday. Only shot at 25-50y due to wind so cant compare groups.
I should be getting mine next week. Has Vudoo documented a break-in process.
I think Mike says the break in is as follows. Receive rifle. Put ammo in rifle. Fire rifle. Rifle is now broke in.
Check out post #8289 in this thread, there is a simple process he recommends.
If I'm shooting paper for groups, then I'll just go to max magnification, 100% check my parallax free and just shoot.
I've never broken in my Vudoo, just shot it off the bat and it always grouped well. Like someone else said, aim at the center dot, and dial your scope .4 mils up to make it group into the square. Or aim into the square and dial your scope .4 mils down to make it group into the bullseye.
The general average of a good paired up ammo 6x5 for a Vudoo at 100 yards is about .7-.75" avg. The average for a 6x5 at 50 yards is .25-.3"
