Vudoo V-22 Barreled Action Combo - 20" MTU from https://www.area419.com/What did you order and who from? What chassis are you planning on using?
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.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!

I should be getting mine next week. Has Vudoo documented a break-in process.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 think Mike says the break in is as follows. Receive rifle. Put ammo in rifle. Fire rifle. Rifle is now broke in.I should be getting mine next week. Has Vudoo documented a break-in process.
Check out post #8289 in this thread, there is a simple process he recommends.I should be getting mine next week. Has Vudoo documented a break-in process.

What power scope are you all using for 100 and longer ranges

Thank you! Ill do this next timeThis 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.
think its up to you honestly but i use a NF ATACR 7-35 x 56 on my Vudoo. And a 32x Unertl on my Win 524 certain, thank you. I presently using a Caldwell and find it sloppy but for its price, not bad.
as for scope I currently have a NF NFX 3.5-16 and find at 100yards I need more power .... old eyes so the question I had asked was what power are most using for that range and are you using a 30mm or34 mm tube 50 or 56 mm objective thanks Interested in the NF ATA CR 5- 25 but pricy
4.5-27x56 Vortex Razor Gen2. Mostly use the mid range but it is nice to bump up to 27 when zeroing and smaller targets at longer range.4 certain, thank you. I presently using a Caldwell and find it sloppy but for its price, not bad.

Good evening F4. I find having a very stable, no wiggle, rest is critical. One with wobble would drive me crazy. I would rather use a bipod than have a front rest with wiggle. And if a bipod, one that, again, is firm and stable with no slop.4 certain, thank you. I presently using a Caldwell and find it sloppy but for its price, not bad.

Thank you for your service, F4. Sounds like it came at a price. May our kind Lord lift you up!Appreciate your info 71 is still young as I will turn 79 in a month . Would enjoy picking your brain some more. I will likely go with another Nightforce as they give a very nice military discount. I’m also getting very interested in the Voodoo single shot . With a number of issues, service connected , that have caused me to quit doing activities I enjoy, getting back to making small groups with a rifle is bringing a lot of pleasure and doesn’t aggravate the body.
Running all internals and the 2 front weights? What length Kukri is that?Finally starting to settle into a rifle that does not move on barricades. View attachment 7652460View attachment 7652461View attachment 7652462
20"Running all internals and the 2 front weights? What length Kukri is that?
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"
How long did that take? Plus did they have plenty of ammo?I’d say that’s pretty optimistic. My Vudoo came back from the test center with the best lot of Center-X just under MOA at 50.
6x5 generally has a lot tighter groups than a 10 shot group. I think the supply at Lapua might be getting a little thin too.I’d say that’s pretty optimistic. My Vudoo came back from the test center with the best lot of Center-X just under MOA at 50.

Wow that's horrible... I am scared when I run out of my lots now... I had like 18 lots tested in August of 2020 and it looked like this. I have only 10K left, but also a new Vudoo coming in August that I hope will like my current ammo.Agreed. Of the 6 lots of Center-x tested, only 1 lot came in under 20. (15.25, and that's the lot I picked.) Midas + was worse, none came in under 20 and 100 yards was terrible.

Here is mine from April. They tested 20 lots and the best was 13.96mm edge to edge or .263 center to center.Wow that's horrible... I am scared when I run out of my lots now...

Sawtooth makes a nice arca rail, as does area 419. Both top quality.So I guess I’m feeling a little lucky. I am a photographer and I already own the Really Right Stuff carbon tripod and Ballhead. So with that I might as well get a plate for my 360 Greyboe Renegrade stock. So what plate do I want to order? When I look at these matches and see the equipment these guys are investing it’s quite sobering I know how much really good photo equipment cost.
any Recommended plates?
thanks,
keith

What size? I see they make several sizes. I assume 12”I'm having an Area419 arca plate put on my Vudoo right now.
4.25" rail but to be honest I'm having an 8" rail put on my main centerfire rifle and kind of wish I went 8" on the Vudoo too.What size? I see they make several sizes. I assume 12”

You need better ammo to realize the accuracy potential of your VudooI 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.

Nope, no velocity,sd,es info was given to me. Just the group sizes.I mailed mine in this morning. I’m hoping for good results. Do they give you any velocity info?
That is such good info. I assume that you bought ammo that bested your control ammo shot from their device. If so is it out performing your control ammo? Maybe it is too early but I would appreciate the answer to that one when you have it.The Lapua test center is good for a baseline and to see what works for lots but honestly I am not sold that it’s the last word. We went and had ours tested and I brought an old lot of Center X that I had to test on their set up. The lot shot good prior. They tested it while doing others and it didn’t do well at all. I went home after the testing and shot it myself and it shot tighter than when in their block set up. So not sure it tells the whole story but it’s worth doing especially if you are getting Lapua ammo from them.
Might not help you but when I got mine I forgot to lube it before running to the range to try it out.Hi everyone, received my new Three 60 and it shoots really well. However, I have intermittent ejection issue where the empty casing will end up backwards in the action and impede the next round from feeding. Does anyone know why this might be? I tried to film it with my phone but I can't make out what's happening. My buddy said it may be the case hitting the magazine before the extractor, so I played around with the mag height (using the MPA adjustable mag catch) but it doesn't seem to help. It usually only happens when I run the bolt quickly like while shooting a PRS stage. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Is your scope knob directly over the chamber port? I have had several rimfires when this is the case, the brass is bouncing off the scope and back into the chamber.Hi everyone, received my new Three 60 and it shoots really well.

I would speculate that the benchrest crowd used to make up a greater percentage of their ammo testers and there is nothing to say that the test methodology is equally transferable to different disciplines.
Like others have said the possibility of the case contacting something on it's way out, like the windage knob if your scope is really low or the corner of a beefy one-piece mount that crosses the entire port. Maybe occasionally your bolt stroke is not smooth, new action, new cerakote, sometimes there can be some sticky spots in the beginning.Hi everyone, received my new Three 60 and it shoots really well.
