Snowballs. That's pretty much the theme around the hideThe 60* thing has already gotten outta hand....The question I was asked was, "how many years," my point was, as stated above, if we do it, it won't take years.

There's a whole new generation that doesn't know what this is. That's how u know ur getting old...lol....movin' on up...to the East Side... To a deluxe apt ... Looking good 4066

You guys are killing me......wanting to change the bolt throw......some of us would just like a rifle

one question about 60 degree lift...
certain mfgs of 22lr need more force to open and close bolt, just the way it goes in 22lr
in my particular vudoo wolf extra match needs a good amount of effort at times to open and/or close
will the 60 degree exasperate this
side note...as always center x never has this problem in any of my 22's
Well, now I think I know the answer. We should get rid of our Vudoo’s and buy 10/22s! NO more bolt degrees to mess with!
That looks flat breech? Like the first gen?That's the second version of the Hybrid Cone.

bjay - look at the lower-right portion of the breech in the posted photo - that's about the only part of the coned portion that's visible in this view. But when you see on in person, it is obviously coned.That looks flat breech? Like the first gen?

A gunsmithing question. Kidd claims their Supergrade and fixed barrel rifles have the same accuracy.
Would it be possible to have a Vudoo switch barrel rifle with the same accuracy as the fixed barrel rifle?
Question about muzzle velocity... I set out to shoot my new Vudoo yesterday. I ordered it with a 22" Ace barrel from Altus. We had a chance to run a demo NRL22 match for our local club with an eye toward starting a match in Austin, TX, so what better time to shoot a brand spankin new rifle but in a match? Ha ha...
Before the match, I sighted in and chrono'ed with SK Plus. I expected the numbers to be a little wonky, because the barrel was brand new. What I didn't expect was for the numbers to be as low as they were. The ammo chrono'ed at an average of 985, with an ES of 95 and an SD of 45. I suspect those numbers will smooth out a bit - even SK Plus shouldn't be that craptastic, as I understand it. We then proceeded to shoot the match, with four different folks running my rifle as a loaner. We shot the match with Midas+ (Capstone/Lapua kindly donated some Lapua and SK ammo for the demo match). I didn't chrono it, but the ballistics lined up with 985 fps through the match, as well, with the same elevation to hit targets at 100y between round 35 and round 250 on the barrel.
I know folks with 18, 20, and 22" barreled Vudoos. They all report to me that they're running about 100 fps faster than I am, and they didn't experience anything like a barrel speed up down the line. Before I purchased the 22, I'd seen the long YouTube video that discussed Vudoo's velocity testing, etc. I tried contacting Vudoo a couple different times (including a phone call to the sales department) to try to find out how much performance I might lose going with a 22" vs 20" (they say that they notice highest performance at about 21", with a drop off from there), and never got a straight answer. It was kind of frustrating. In the end, after being told that friends had 22" barrels that ran with plenty of velocity, I went that route to more closely match my centerfire gun's balance.
So, the question is, is this a normal velocity expectation? Has anyone noticed their barrel speed up after, say, a few hundred rounds or something? Anything I should try? Or do I just have a super slow barrel?
It shoots nice groups, even from the first rounds out of the barrel - sub-inch at 43 yards, and had zero issue hitting a 1/2 MOA target at that range repeatedly during the match. So, no issues there - just wish I had a little more velocity out of it?
Those are horrible numbers, but I’m with Cuzz on this one, try a different chrono. I’ve never seen numbers like that from Lapua/SK. If you see the same results, shoot me a PM and we’ll get it figured out.

@RAVAGE88-just to be certain, if I were to send my V22 to you all for a re-barrel-from a 20" Specter to an 18" Kukri-if requested, I will get my 20" Specter back, correct?
If the claims have been validated, I do not know of them. Info from Kidd.Have the claims been validated?
Yes, certainly possible, but how is “switch-barrel” being defined?

If the claims have been validated, I do not know of them. Info from Kidd.
My understanding of switch barrel is one barrel can be removed by loosening two screws and lifting the barrel from the receiver/stock, for example Blaser R8, Mauser M03, Sauer 404, Sako Quad, Kidd Supergrade. The second barrel is inserted into the receiver/stock and the same two screws tightened. With the Sako Quad both the dimensions of the barrel and the ammunition can be changed simply by changing the barrel and possibly the magazine. With the Kidd it is just the dimensions of the barrel since cannot do an ammunition change. With the Blaser, Mauser and Sauer you can change the dimensions of the barrel with just a barrel change. An ammunition change may require a bolt head change and a magazine change in addition to the barrel change.
It has been stated that a Blaser R8 does not need the have the action bedded because of the two barrel screws in addition to the two action screws. Interesting, yes

Hmmm then maybe I should hold off on a re-barrel then...
Ok, so a real switch barrel....yes, certainly doable.
Can't believe I'm the only one with interest and nobody has chimed in on this. I was actually talking to the guys a VGW last week about exactly this and I'm still waiting for them to get back to me about it.Have any of you messed with action screw torque on your voodoo's and done an accuracy test at each torque setting?
I think some of the local guys tried it and everybody went back to 65.Can't believe I'm the only one with interest and nobody has chimed in on this. I was actually talking to the guys a VGW last week about exactly this and I'm still waiting for them to get back to me about it.

Cosmetically, those fingerprints do not look good on that nice barrel. lol@RAVAGE88...other than cosmetic, does this barrel cant to the right/not centered propose any issues? View attachment 7164736
