Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

#8,806
The bigger question is if there continues to exhibit feeding issues with the slightest bit of force acting on the magazine in the r700 AT-X chassis and Vudoo magazines (plastic or metal).

Vudoo is supposedly making tweaks to the aluminum mags.

My v360 seems to malfunction as often as my B14R in terms of mag/feed issues.

Thanks. My main question was really directed towards an assessment of the weight, balance, and any noticible handling differences from the “low rider” design. Key mod. Key slot. M-loc. Blah blah. None of that matters to me personally. I’m concerned about how much the total package weighs and where it balances and how it handles.

My 360 in ACC chassis purchased as a complete build directly from VGW feeds, fires, extracts, and ejects Center X and SK flawlessly through my first 1k rounds. I don’t know if the chassis itself is just spot on or if the smiths at VGW massaged it in any way. Regardless…it runs. Metal mags. Polymer mags. No problems.

Complete transparency, I did shear my bolt stop at my first match with the new rifle. The part was promptly replaced by VGW and is a simple swap while still in the chassis. No hammers or punches. Just a simple threaded pin with Allen head. I keep a spare pin, spring, and bolt catch in my range bag.

Since these pics where taken I have swapped to the aluminum butt plate and small printed bag rider. That change let me drop down to two internal weights and two sets of external weights for the same balance. As shown it was at 3/3. 22” MTU. No threads. 11 degree target crown.

So far me the lightest balanced rifle is with the XLR Envy Pro w/ the long nose extension. The ACC w/ the aluminum buttpad and the mirage shield gets pretty close. Also swap the MTU with a Kukri profile to get less weight out of the shoulder area / early part of the barrel.

I am also curious about the AT-X and if the rear is any lighter than the ACC and if it can be made to balance at an overall lighter package. I'm also eyeing the Falkor ROC chassis too.

Anyone have a line on single shot magazines for the Vudoo? I just put together a Vudoo 3-60 and think that I want to also use it for "F" class where you have to single load the rounds. I have one made by Lowey Products in AUS for my Anschutz 1761 but they don't do the AICS pattern magazines.

Thanks,

Don

Just received my V22 360 with 22” barrel, TT Diamond two-stage in KRG Whiskey3 on Friday. Was able to throw a spare scope on while I wait for my NF to arrive. First rounds down the pipe at 50 yards were a mix of SK standard and some CCI SV. SK looks to be solid SV was ok. I can’t wait to get a chance to stretch it out and see what she can do. All smiles so far!

Vudoo Gun Works has a new printed tool for bolt assembly/disassembly and to re-cock the bolt should it drop to the fired position while out of the action.


A little pricy, but I ordered one anyway...I had the bolt rotate to the fired position a few weeks ago, it was a PITA to get it reset, even using my bench vise with poly jaw inserts.

Vudoo’s single shot adapter doesn’t work on the newer guns… they state only on guns serial number VGW3400 and below.

When I called about it, they said they aren’t planning to make one for their newer guns, since they have single-shot actions now.

That being said, since Vudoo doesn’t have a single-shot solution for my newer V22 repeater, I designed my own as a 3D-printed replacement magazine with a sled top… it does the job for F-Class and other matches that require single shot loading. I also made a plastic tool that holds one bullet by the base and can insert it onto the tray and/or start it into the chamber; assists when fingers aren’t small enough or nimble enough to consistently place a single bullet on the sled through the relatively small bolt opening.

Here's a photo of the magazine-sled that I made and use in my V22 360 Repeater for F-Class and other matches that require single-feed, and also the little bullet inserter rod, which is great with the sled for cold days, gloved hands, or just fat fingers :)

That visible angles in the lower part of the mag sled are to make it obvious to the match director at a glance that you're not using a standard magazine. I 3D-printed the thing white also for visibility, but it could be made in any color.

I can post info in the Post Exchange Buy-Sell-Trade if anyone else here can benefit from this, or just PM me.

I 3D-printed my own based on their design (just because I could). You’ll like yours when you get it from them — it works great… super easy to get the bolt back to where it needs to be if you over-rotate.

Curious, does anyone have any information on the new soft case on the Vudoo website? It is an expensive case, but not out of line depending on the quality etc. I have searched for information on the manufacturer, Aguais Precision without any luck. I don't need another softcase, but what does it hurt either? My questions begin with the following.... Thanks to anyone who can give some insight!

Dimensions? Sized for a Pelican?
Padding, open or closed cell? Thickness?
Intended use of the extra bags/pouches?
Are the extra bags/pouches padded?
Padding/Foam removable for cleaning?
Warranty?
Production location?
Is there a divider?

Rusty, Vudoo CS seems top rate. I bet they would welcome your inquiry direct and appreciate the nudge to provide the pertinent details on their website. I do know that just lately they are run off their feet so give them a few days.

Just a suggestion that arises because I too have learned to use the forums for my questions but in this case (pun intended) you are dealing with VGW.

Just bought a V22 360 ( MTU ) and a nice Manners stock with mini chassis. I assembled all and it is real nice. Only problem I have is the plastic mag that comes with it and the 5 round metal mag I bought extra do not stay clicked in the magwell. It is like the lip of the mag is too low and it does not fully click in. HELP ME PLEASE !!
Thanks
Gilbert

That's odd, Manners mini chassis is plug and play with Vudoo.
Is the Manners mini chassis Rem700 clone inlet? No trigger hanger interference? Which trigger? Barrel contour clearance on stock? My only guess it the barreled action is sitting high for some reason...
 
#8,838
Ok. I just took tha beast out of the safe to check. When I slack the action screws lots and the barreleld action is loose in the stock , the mag goes click and all is well. But how do I solve the problem ? I cannot have a barrelled action all loosened in the stock, of course...
Thanks for your help.

take mag and bolt out, put aside... You don't need em until the stock/action are married.

rest stock on butt, place barreled action into space, hand-tighten action screws to prevent movement, but NOT tight at all, just barely snug.
Give the butt a tiny bounce on the floor muzzle up, and make sure the barreled action is centered and plumb and the recoil lug is truly back against the slot for it, then hand tighten the action screws just a little bit more. Keep muzzle pointed up.
The goal is to have the weight of the barreled action sitting as far back and snug as possible against the chassis before tightening. (Sometimes triggers' little screw heads can catch the chassis sides, look for raw aluminum marks when the action is out).
Bounce lightly on floor again on the butt, muzzle up.
Do both screws, front then back, to 25 in-lbs.
Then bounce the rifle on the butt again, just for good measure, lol. Keep it pointed up. Torque front to 65 in-lb. Then rear to 45 in-lb.
Put bolt in and cycle dry fire for function.
Then try the mag.
I've done the foregoing probably over 100 times and it works, lol. If it doesn't, call Vudoo.

Also, what trigger are you using, and what barrel channel did you spec in the manners?

Might be something 360 related as my V22 has been in 4 manners stocks with mini chassis and both plastic and aluminum mags run fine. I don’t do anything special when dropping it in the stock. And never put a mag in.

I was going to buy one of the Vudoo Bags listed here for my V22 3-60 Ravage Ridgeback:

It's a beautiful setup, but it would be over $400 including the $75(!) that they want to ship it to me! I checked with a Vudoo dealer and was told that dealers don't even get any kind of discount on them. I like it a lot, but $400 total for a soft bag?!?

It says they're made by "Aguais Precision" but nothing comes up in a Google search for them (except the one Vudoo bag).

Anybody here already have one of those bags?

EDIT: I see that someone else (Rust4Brains) posted questions about it in post# 8,904 but without any responses so far.

I absolutely agree the Armageddon bag is awesome. I have it along with their 3gun bag that is also awesome. I made my original post about the new Vudoo bag because I am curious about it & all it’s extra small bags. I was on a phone call with Vudoo & asked about it. I was told they really don’t know anything about it other than the manufacturer is a new small start up company. I listed off all my questions for them & suggested they do a video to introduce the new bag. Hopefully we’ll see something soon from Vudoo.
