I was responding to WeeHooker about what Vudoo has
Muller should be great!

Went there first thing. A pop-up on their contact form says they won't take actions from customers , They only do new production. I did the math, Even if I got decent money for reselling mine, I'd be out another $1500 or so. A rebarrel from what I can see is near 1/2 that. Still, it's not out of the question if I don't see what I want elsewhere.DI Precision
They likely have barrels in stock ready to go.DI Precision

Here’s a 10 shot group I shot Sunday @100yds

I shoot a 360 with a MTU. I've decided I want the longer barrel to make it a true trainer but for the money it should actually be cheaper for me to sell my barreled action and buy a new one with a straight taper on it.
Try calling and ask for David. Didn’t know him from Adam before. Now he knows it’s me when I say hello. Lol.. He’s been a big help, not saying he’ll do it but definitely worth a call.
Vudoo will do out to 24” with a 1.2” Bartlein. I think it’s about $550 to do. Worth a call to check.
That's what I did. Longer wait for Bartlein but its reasonable. I guess I just don't want the hassle of selling one, and buying another etc....
I did the same. My Gen 1 just got back there the end of last week for a 23" 1.2" Bartlein with a EC V2 on it.
I was tempted becuase I run a supressor on some of my rimfire and the Muller isn’t threaded. The one I sold was.. couldn’t justify shelling out another 4k to complete the rifle. LolKeep 'em both. You know you want to...
I have 3 - 1RH Gen2, 1LH Gen2 and 1LH 360.Keep 'em both. You know you want to...
Solely compete with the 360, so might downsize eventually. If $$$$ was no factor, I'd collect them all in different stocks and chassis
VGW chambered my new Krieger 1.25 at 23" - just received it yesterday. About 3-4 weeks turnaround. Also upgraded my bolt and bolt release parts to the newest version, new springs, etc. as a courtesy.
Put it through its paced today with 250 rounds of Center-X, SK Match, and Tenex. Shoots absolutely fantastic with everything except one Center X lot (acceptable by most standards but not what I would expect from Center X). Center X and SK Match DSF calibrated to 300 yards. (Previous barrel was a 22" Bartlein MTU)
Now, for the porn...

You can also buy your own barrel and send it to Vudoo I believe..
Or you could check with Jonathan Elrod at Modocam to see if he's got a Shilen. Nothing against using VGW, but Jonathan's work is excellent, and he's a great guy.
He really is an awesome human being and does amazing work. I couldn’t be happier with the rifle he built for me.
This is 100 percent correct. I have a gun with him now and he called me the other day and in a polite, kind, Jonathan kinda way told me I couldn’t clean a bolt.. which would be a punch in the gut because I take pride in cleaning my gun but there was a part I didn’t know about.. He politely let me know that I need to do better!
Glad he is doing mine.Vudoo Barreled action - 24" Straight Bartlein Barrel

Yeah, I tried them out for the first time today and they work great. It was only my second session with the new rifle as well and everything was working very well together.
Added to the post - Shooting Lapua super long range. Ran it out to 330 with great success on a 6" plate. 3-10 mph winds. I also tried for 622 yards, but couldnt see my misses as the terrain sloped down behind the target.
A picture for you Vudoo fans:
Here is my new Vudoo 360 sitting in a Foundation stock. It sports a straight 1.25 Lothar Walther barrel ( 1:12 twist ). The barrel is 24 inches long and for the moment is wears a thread protector at the muzzle but a EC tuner is to be installed.

Mine looks that way now, but not when I got it. I actually modified my own firing pin to a better off-the-edge strike and it now looks like yours. Here's a before-and-after of the strike.
Benchrest guys have been known to do that for years. This is from an old publication:

I read something on Bill Caffee’s forum a while back about reshaping the firing pin for better ignition but I’m a little shocked they would just go ahead and do it without discussing it first.
Not sure how, if at all, that will effect velocity etc.

Got mine out today….. 20 rounds, 4 targets 5 shot groups…. Pretty happy with it for a random Friday afternoon
This was a gem of a group I shot last weekend breaking in my new back stops. The link is a video from my Trigger Cam.
I see a lot of stocks on hear in the for sale adds that are SA some are made for Impact or Defiance or R700 is there any I should stay away from that will not work well without gunsmithing to fit the Vudoo 360 ? What works well with just drop in the BA and go ?
I can't say they all do but I had mag fit and feeding issues with my 360 in a KRG Xray. I eventually figured them out and "fixed" the issue with well placed Velcro "shims" on the mags and in the stock. I eventually sold the stock though as there is too much $$ invested in a Vudoo build to be band aiding fix's.
I like it a lot. I’ve used it on my 6BR as well. I’m not sure if I accidentally left it on but the battery went a little quick last time I used it. However, I was able to use a power pack to charge it while I was using it. I’ve had it on my Tract Toric ELR and Athlon Eres 4.5-30. Fit well on both.
If you connect to the camera using Wi-Fi you can pull the videos over to another device without having to pull the SD card. I like that feature.
This post is related to the firing pin strike posting...
I have been studying the primer strikes on my Vudoo and noticed how strong they were. Several types of SK ammunition end up with the rim bent they hit so hard. Had me debating if that affects accuracy by affecting seal, headspace or rebound after impact? what's the school of thought on this?
Below are pics on my primer stikes in the Vudoo. Notice the bent rim on the SK Rifle Match in the second pic.
The Eley imprints have me baffled. I am second guessing I mixed up my casings between the Vudoo and another 22? As expected, note the light Eley imprints, but also makes me think Eley have a harder case head in their brass?

I'm not an expert but in my eye as an Engineer, the Eley casings there have clearly been run through a different firearm as the firing pin impression is differently shaped in all aspects. As for the impacts being too deep, I'd note that a firm and consistent strike on the primer is VERY important to uniform ignition (and resulting accuracy) . I'm also thinking that the case rims shown do not appear any more deformed than in any of my match/precision 22's . ( I've seen some really case rims get mashed in certain guns.) That said, you could try to reduce the force on the case rims by modifying the pin or spring but my bet is you'd be dancing a fine line between making things better (or just as likely) worse. I'd just leave it alone.
Mr Sam,
Could you give a little more detail on the issues caused from over driving the firing pin?
Thanks!
Yeah, I found out I mixed up my cases and the Eley strikes are from another gun. I would be reluctant to make any mods to the firing pin being it shoots good.
Does the ATX have an ARCA rail that goes all the way back to the mag well? If it does, a Gray Ops CNC might help. I realize this an MPA chassis...picture from Gray Ops website...been thinking of getting one for mine.
Not Sam, but what you will see is called flippers shots that just jump up for no reason. under driving the pin, you will see the opposite dropped shots. both will just happen randomly. but be a cause of wonder if it is the ammo.

What most do is take a little off the corner of the pin so the strike in just inside the rim edge. just make sure if you do this that you have the pin oriented in the right position. the picture of the case hits is for a 12 'o-clock pin.

I don't have an example of an over driven pin hit but here is an example of a under driven due to a weak spring. I can't remember if it was the 3rd or 5th shot that just dropped the other 4 as you can see went same hole.
this lot of CX was a good one so I know it was not the ammo. changing the spring made this go away.

Interesting. I do have some groups when using SK ammo that have a bizarre flyer outside of a .1 or a .2 group that ends up like more than 1/2" away from the group. I just wrote it off to "that's .22". I don't really have much in the way of Lapua to test in the gun at this time.
thanks
Now you have to know the ammo you are shooting to determine what is happening. does this lot of SK shoot flat? meaning shooting across a horizontal line you have very little up and down shots? here is an example of what I mean all 25 shots are nearly the same height I know this lot shoots flat, so if I start to see shots drop out or jump up, I will know something is not right. this target I shot right after changing the firing pin spring because I noticed the rifle was shooting low and this rifle does not do that.
