Dude, thank you for posting this up. I've never done this so I have no clue! HAHAHA! I love working with my hands tho, and would much rather do it (and learn) myself than to pay someone to do it for me.
That Vudoo case sure looks good. Has anyone ordered a Cole-Tac UCR case?
Unfortunately this one isn’t a rimfire. Was just posting this to show a short arca section works pretty well off a tripod and a bag. I had it out for hunting.
Thanks. I've been wondering about tuners and this confirms it. Does this translate both far and near or is this tuned for 50 yards?Played with my Vudoo 360 and an ATS tuner behind my Thunderbeast suppressor. I wanted to see if I could tighten up a random lot of ammo with this (Bartlien 16 twist) barrel.
Moving the tuner a total of about a turn did this. After I got to 2, I stopped.
These are all 5 shot groups off a bipod and Traust rear bag at 50 yards.
A tuner is set for the rifle/ammo combination — optimizing bullet release from the muzzle at the peak of the vibration wave to best mitigate cartridge-to-cartridge velocity variation. Should be optimal at all distances.
Great example of a tuned barrel. Before and after. I'm sure. that's a 50 yd group, but remember a gun has to shoot at 50 to have any chance at 100 and beyond. At this point I would leave the gun alone and start testing ammo for different ranges.

Where is Center x coming from, I can't findPretty excited to see my V22 show a glimmer of life. Just installed my TriggerTech Diamond trigger. Scope, rings, bubble level enroute - 2500 rounds of Centre X in the mail. Grayboe stock won’t be here until MarchIt’s going to be a long winter
I've heard of similar issues with "other" wax lubed ammo, so I haven't tried any in mine...yet. I've only been running SK rifle match (not pleased with the consistency) and SK pistol match, which has been better than the rifle match.
Give it a few hundred rounds to break in, and, as Rob said, clean the chamber. I had a similar "issue" with mine, which mostly disappeared after a brick or two of not-Lapua ammo. The easy button is to run Lapua / SK, for which the chamber is designed.
My V22 360 had an ejection issue with Laupa Center-X. By "stuck in the chamber" you mean it extracts the casing, but then bounces inside the chamber, not ejecting? It is a known problem with the 360 that only happens on some. Contact VGW. I sent my bolt in, they shaved off part of the lug on the bolt, allowing the bolt to go back farther so the casing hits the extractor more. It solves the issue. My turn around was a little under two weeks.
Jeez all these many little issues I’m reading of late are a bit concerning. I’m over the pond in Australia waiting for the 360 to turn up. Sending a rifle back to America would be a f#$@king nightmare the way things are, to have any of these issues sorted. At $3200 bucks here I’m hoping it’s floorless.
Mate, I've had my 360 for maybe 4 months now. Not an issue at all. Its been flawless. Dont worry about it until its here.Jeez all these many little issues I’m reading of late are a bit concerning.

Plenty of reason to worry. Those of us with issues cant just send the action back for a permanent fix. QC needs to be 100% for exported actions. I just started round two of trying to reduce misfires and really hoping for a permanent fix, otherwise I will have to send it back which will be a major PITA and very expensive.
They sent a new pin and spring last summer. Going by their instructions only for now.
I'm not positive, but when I spoke to them on the phone it sounded like they were now doing the "modification" to all new 360s.Jeez all these many little issues I’m reading of late are a bit concerning.

Yeah true probably very few have issues. Hopefully as stated above the ones shipped internationally are sorted. Cheers.
Evidently, you haven't read through all the Rim-X posts. There have been numerous reports of extractors being 'chipped' when owners tried to chamber rounds that were short-stroked or that came out of the extractor pocket for other reasons and then the shooter tried to force it into the chamber. There was a mention that Zermatt had changed the alloy or temper of the extractor due to this issue. I haven't had an issue with my Rim-X since I removed the pusher and stoned the bottom edge of the hook as per instructed by Zermatt, and it runs very smoothly, but there were problems early on.
Is it all Eley ammo giving you problems, or just from a particular line/lot/box? My Vudoo handles all brands well, but my B14r has issues with Eley, with that ammo causing a really hard bolt close. So I’m inclined to think there are noticeable dimensional differences between Eley and other ammo.
So far I've only been able to test a lot of Eley Match - Im inclined to think the same and have heard this many times that Eley has different dimensions to their brass
