It was a Specter,( 1:205 breech, .675 muzzle 18") barreled action. Weight and cost are unknown as I can't get my grubby mitts on it yet

I tried 0.81 high rings with my AMG but the bolt handle would just barely hit the scope. I went to 0.93 high rings and have lots of clearance now.
Out of curiosity what is advantage of single shot for those types of shooting w/ .22 lr?Has anyone requested a single shot for 3 position or prone matches? Seems like a nice platform for it.
In theory the single action rifles are more rigid resulting in higher accuracy. In some games a single shot is required, or have to single load your rifle. Many of the single shot rifles are built to be drop fed like that also. I thought there was talk about a single shot action, or single shot sled for the actions.Out of curiosity what is advantage of single shot for those types of shooting w/ .22 lr?
Technically the way Mike designed the V-22 action and magazine, the bolt captures the round out of the magazine and feeds it into the chamber as cleanly as a single shot design. At least that's my understanding.In theory the single action rifles are more rigid resulting in higher accuracy. In some games a single shot is required, or have to single load your rifle.

Rub it in
So this thread has gotten quiet as of late. Does that mean the the flurry of initial orders is over?

For single shot you are better of with more advanced Holeshot arms (Stiller) 2500x

Yessir, the single shot requests have ramped up. I did the receiver design at the same time the repeater receiver was done, just working on a few small parts. There's also an option to single feed the current repeater, but none of these components are in production yet.

Hey Quickdraw, valid observation but lots of shooting happening for lots of folks. The Vudoo crew just returned from the ELR event in MT and seeing lots of rimfire shooting activity across the country. Orders still rolling strong, brought another machine online, meeting delivery schedules and working on new stuff everyday. No rest for the weary my friend....

The lack of posts on the V-22's is a GOOOD THING!!!! I think it means the there are no problems with these fine guns.
Now if my shooting buddy will get done with is V-22 build I'm really interested in seeing how his performs. I have fondled is barreled action and it was a piece of metal art!

Anyone else running a suppressor on their Vudoo? I sent in my paperwork for a Silencerco Sparrow in January when I ordered the rifle and it just came back last week.
Eley Match has always shot well for me, but I've been having trouble getting good groups with the new lot. Last evening I shot a couple groups at 100 yards with and without the suppressor. I'm pleased I found the cause of my loss of precision, but disappointed the suppressor is the cause.

You might try some different ammo just to see if the same thing happens or if it's only related to that ammo.
I can't really comment on it specifically yet, but I dont see group size change with or without a can on my Anschutz 64 MPR. Using Lapua Center X and SK Match Rifle / Wolf Extra and a Sico Spectre II. Groups typically average in the .3-.4" range at 50 yd.
4 more weeks and I will have my 22"
I was testing ammo (Lapua Center-X, Midas+, Tenex and a new lot of Eley Match) with the suppressor when I discovered this. All were grouping in the .8 range at 100 yards. My first lot of Eley did much better ... even though Tenex is supposed to be a higher quality version of Eley Match. After removing the suppressor it shot a .35 group at 100 yards. Looks like this lot of Eley is as good as the first ... and I'll be shooting the match this weekend without the Sparrow.
I ran out of daylight before I could do any "with/without" testing with the Lapua ammo, but that's on the agenda. I also have a friend with another suppressor that will be part of the testing.

Last time i spoke with paul he mentioned besides bartlein their other choice of barrel only comes with 20" max.Are they doing a 22" ace mtu as well?
I am doing the 22" MTU in the bartlein barrelAre they doing a 22" ace mtu as well?
More testing with a suppressor ... 100 yards from a bench with bipod and rear bag.
I've now tried SK, Center-X, Midas+, Eley Match and Tenex. The pattern is always the same ... precision is always better without a suppressor.
One of the lower targets was shot with the Sparrow and the other with a borrowed suppressor. The patterns are different, but precision was not improved.
I sent a note to Vudoo with my results this afternoon. I think it's likely barrel harmonics, but we'll see what Paul has to say.

Mine Vudoo with a can does very similar. Can is a Liberty Kodiak.More testing with a suppressor ... 100 yards from a bench with bipod and rear bag.

Weigh your cans and then take that same amount of weight and attach it to the muzzle. See what happens with the groups.

I'm wondering if adding some additional weight to the can, or one of the barrel dampers could work this out. I'm wondering if the harmonics issue is more in the can than the barrel. really a MTU, Kirku, Palma contour on a 22 should have very limited movement and subsequent harmonics. Since many of the 22 cans are very light and possibly not built to the tolerances and standards of CF cans the affect could be greater when we're still expecting one ragged hole.
Another line of thought is what is the ammo speed with and without? Is the bullet in the transonic range while going through the suppressor? I should have my can done this weekend and will try it out.
