Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

I have that with a 25 yard zero, no issues. I think I could use the 60 MOA rail but there is no reason to.
I can dial up 27.3 mils. I'd have to reset the zero stop to know how far down but I'd assume around 5 mils based on the scope total travel.
I'm running a ZCO with 50moa rail/spuhr and I have about 30mils up. I am guessing 5 mils down I think the scope is 35mil in elevation.
I have a 30 MOA rail with a ZCO 527. I have 29.1 mil of elevation to dial.
Interested in this as well as I am contemplating that very setup in the upcoming weeks. Using math and the Goog, 10 moa = 3 mil. Applying to the above data point, you could expect to have 32 mil of up from a 50y zero with a 40moa base. From ZCO, the 527 has 35 mil total elevation adjustment. This would mean you would have about 3 mil below a 50y zero which in theory also means a 50 moa base should be able to zero at 50y at the very extreme of the travel. Assuming the zero stop doesn't eat into that.
If you use Burris Tactical Signature rings, they have plastic inserts of various thicknesses allowing you to change scope angle and cant plus or minus 40 MOA. Then the picatinny rail angle doesn't matter.
Burris rings with plastic inserts & a ZCO on a VUDOO...?
I ain't putting Burris rings within 1 mile of my ZCO...
I have a zco 527 with a 60 moa rail. I can zero at 50 yards with 2 mils left over. I can dial out to roughly 525 yards without holding over.
You can probably dial up .4 mil from zero to get 25 yards. I have my Athlon Cronus Gen2 on a 40 MOA rail, and with zero at 50 that's what I dial.
ETA: I'm seriously considering getting a 60 MOA rail, since I still have 7.4 mil under my zero stop...set at 50.
Went out last night to try my newest acquisition!. the vudoo 360 in the AI chassis suppressed is a riot.
debating if I do another ZCO 5-27 to match my other rig or not.

Went to swap my 20 to 40 moa rail and looks like I either need to pull pins from my receiver, or I got the wrong rail for my Gen 1.0 LH action?
The 20 came off tight and the pins stayed in, but the new 40 came as pictured.
Anybody been here/done that or @RAVAGE88 know what I should do?

Pull them out from one or the other. They aren’t attached, just sometimes require a little force.
Welp, the new pins twisted easy out of new 40. Cleaned, pressed onto old receiver pins, used new screws at 15 in-lbs, added zco 
Went from this to this...

It's going back on when the v360 gets here, I just couldn't wait, didn't feel right having the zco sitting around unmounted!No more hdmr-cr?
I suppose a Zco is a worthy replacement
I really came to like the HDMR-CR H-59, it's gonna stay on the v22, and, you know, it's a gear race to keep up with you
Your bolt handle is on the incorrect side...Welp, the new pins twisted easy out of new 40. Cleaned, pressed onto old receiver pins, used new screws at 15 in-lbs, added zco

Great looking set up!!!
Round count is at 750 as of today. I must have a bad lot of SK Rifle Match...is this normal for SD and ES? Vudoo Three 60, 20" Ace MTU.
My 50 yard zero is still perfect with today's weather, and the Kestrel* 5700 Elite was SPOT ON for dialing 65 & 85 yards...sorcery I say.
*adjusted for known dope at 75 and 100 yards two weeks ago, today I just whipped it around to update environmentals before I started shooting and let it do the calculations.
ETA: 250 rounds today, I took the MagnetoSpeed off after 150, forgot to archive the first string, so no data for the second string.

Those are pretty decent numbers for 22 ammo, I’ve had worse lots of center x. If you really want to see how good those numbers are go chrono a box each of golden bullets, thunderbolts, and winchester white box. Expect ES of 160+fps and a SD of 50+ My better lots of center-x hover around 35-45ES and 10-14 SD. My best lot of center-x had an Es of 40 and a SD of 7.4 and that was competitive for me doing benchrest @ 50 yards. I did not win or place very often.
When I shot rimfire ARA benchrest I chrono’d every shot at most matches for years. The $$$ tier spent on ammo is a pretty good indicator of ammo quality. The exception for me was I never had good luck with any lot of eley tenex. I tested lapua midas+, Exact, and center-x, sk rifle match, flat nose match, standard+, eley black box, tenex, edge, contact, and RWS 50 and 100. I settled on center-x as the best value per shot. If I had unlimited $ then RWS 100 or lapua Exact would be every shot in summer, lapua biathlon in the winter. Rifles used for competition were a 16.5” CZ455, 18” V22 repeater and normally, a tuned 23” HB anschutz 54

I've got exceptional lots of SK RM & Lapua Center-X that I've chrono'd several times. On one occasion, the SK RM will have an ES of 23, and the next time I checked it in the same rifle, it could be as high as 43fps. It still shoots very well in my oldest Gen 1 V-22/Krieger with a Pro-X tuner adjusted for this lot. The Center-X also varies somewhat, but it's generally more stable than the SK RM, and is the best of the ammo I have on hand in my V-22S/Shilen. I'm planning to send this V-22S off to the Lapua test center in Mesa sometime this fall or early winter - if they've got a decent number of Center-X lots to test.
It was a long 5 months of waiting. 22” MTU, gen 2, 40 MOA base, athlon Cronus, trigger tech diamond two stage. In an MPA Hybrid chassis. Will probably pull the rear weight so that I have a shot of close to balance with a loaded magazine in. May get out to shoot tomorrow (I hope), if the rain lets up any.

If your chassis didn't come with the MPA quick detach magnet cheek riser, order that "upgrade" now. I thought my MPA BA Comp came that way, it didn't, so as soon as I took the cheek riser off, the ball bearing and spring dropped on the floor...glad I wasn't at the range.
Edit: your chassis, doesn't have the wheel for adjusting the cheek riser, so that doesn't matter for yours.
Hate to let the cat out of the bag, but the SK rifle match I have wasn't as good as CCI-SV out of my 10/22T either. I thought it might have been the 10/22T, but it's the ammo. I was going to put some CCI-SV through the Vudoo today, just to see how it would do, but I lost interest. Hehe.
I understand our Vudoo rifles are designed for Center X, I just don't buy into that. Center X is good ammo, but there are other options, that cost less and perform better.
I wish it would be that easy. My experience is that different lots of the same ammo perform NOT the same.
With the BS "ammo shortage", I know I won't be buying any more SK Rifle Match. I have other greasy SK ammo that is better. I'd love to try some Center X or Midas +, but it's not available, and/or stupid expensive.
I tested literally dozens of lots of SK Rifle Match before stumbling upon an exceptional lot four years ago, then was lucky enough to be able to buy two cases of it before a dealer only sale expired at Graf's. Got dealer pricing for the ammo, and free shipping & insurance - who wouldn't buy a case or two of it today with a deal like that - even if it wasn't an exceptionally accurate lot in your rifle? It shot pretty well in a couple of CMP 40Xs converted to use V-22 mags (Benchmark 3-groove & Lilja titebore), and still shoots fine in all three of my V-22 repeaters - two with Kriegers I fitted & chambered with a PTG EPS reamer, and one with a VGW fitted & chambered Bartlein - all three finished at 22".
I also tested a similar number of lots of Center-X before finding a really exceptional lot, only to find that it was sold out at all the wholesale outlets I called. That's what finally pushed me over the edge to send the 1st V-22 I barreled out to Mesa to have it tested by Lapua. Daniel found a lot that shot pretty darned good in that Krieger, so I bought two cases of it. It just so happens that this same lot shoots better in the V-22S that I barreled with a Shilen R5 and chambered with a Nevius reamer than anything else I've been able to lay hands on.

I have been shooting a good bit, trying to learn my Vudoo and to just become better mainly for matches. What I have learned is ammo well my gun clearly has a certain velocity it likes and temps can change that velocity..when it’s cooler say 60’s RWS50 shoots best, 70-80’s centerX and SKRM shoots best and for some reason that is counter to my point SKLR shoots best in the 90’s..I don’t know is why that is..it should be even faster when it’s hot out. I just know from my time on the range this is how it works. Also distance plays it’s part too. That centerx I mentioned above will not wow you at all at 50 yards. I actually thought it was a bad lot and used it as my warm up ammo, hell I even gave a few boxes to my friends hoping they would like it and buy it from me. I was shooting long distance 200-300 yards and wasn’t having a great day, I went thru my SKLR quickly, so I went back to the centerx. It shot amazing at that distance.. I went back to the 50 and agian it wouldn’t wow you. I know a bullet can’t get more accurate so it has to being that it doesn’t destabilize as bad? I also have some SK Standard that is lights out at 50 but anything after that, not great. I will say I even with the not so great stuff I would compete in NRL22 with any of it and not blame a missed shot on it, it would be me but if I am looking for that dead nuts stuff, for me all that comes into play it seems. I still have more questions than answers but that is the fun part of the journey.. damn expensive journey though!
Daniel is the MAN! He tested 20 different lots of Center-X in my Vudoo and found a great lot for mine so I bought the last two cases that he had and it shoots lights out.
Second outing, getting used to everything. The 3 SK types all seem up to the task. The Wolf MT, never lets me down, always a flier or two in there. May try 100 next time.
Vudoo sent me a new dbm to replace the one out of spec. Threw my barreled action back into my Foundation. Continuing the break-in with 5 round groups off a PRS barricade.

Jump out to 100 and 200 before stockpiling ammo. A lot of it groups well at 50 yards but falls apart out further. Easy to see the difference quickly. And fun.Second outing, getting used to everything. The 3 SK types all seem up to the task. The Wolf MT, never lets me down, always a flier or two in there. May try 100 next time.
Yeah, my next step is at 100 to see which one of the three do the best. Oh no, I only have 2 boxes of the long range stuff but 2 bricks of the S+ which is doing good. That HV if works out will be a good wind round.
Not according to VGW. The single shot is the Gen 3. Three 60 is a Gen 2 with a three lug bolt 60º throw.
