Way to be a dad Jbell! They grow up fast so enjoy them.I have posted about my latest Vudoo’s in some other places here on the Hide, but I might as well put some ”results“ from my latest here too for anyone on the fence about their first Vudoo purchase. Back story these two are among many VGW rifles or barreled actions that my family and I have owned. I bought these for my daughters as this summer they expressed interest in shooting again. I picked up a 20” Kukri BA (Ace barrel) from Mile High and the next week a 22” Kukri BA (Bart barrel) from Altus. They both got 2 stage Timney triggers, KRG Bravo chassis (I am really liking these chassis), 0.66# KRG butt plate spacer, KRG spigot, Atlas CAL, and a Vortex Razor Gen II 4.7-27X56.
Both rifles are killing it as far as accuracy goes and have been 100% reliable (as I expected). My daughters are really enjoying these rifles and they shot their first match last weekend, with more to come in the future. They did really well with my oldest daughter (15 years old) winning the match and her sister (14 years old) tied for 3rd only a few points back from her sister. It was the best day I have ever had on the range and I did not fire a shot. I was just on the spotter calling wind for them. They were dead on with every correction I gave them and when the wind was switching I was changing the correction mid shot it did not phase them in the least, they just held it and broke the shot for a center hit! I can’t wait to get back out behind the spotter for them.
We definitely are a Vudoo family and we would like to say thank you to everyone at VGW for all you have done and continue to do for our sport.

oh I know all too well, these seem like yesterday
These were their first 6X5 targets, shot well before Vudoo Gun Works back when I was hounding Mike Bush to get one of his early rimfire actions (605 I think it was)... Back when we were having to just make due...

hopefully there will be some sort of announcement for the 60 degree repeater soon! I need another rifle
Lol he seems to be avoiding this question pretty heavy! So I hope its soon!
I really like the looks of those stocks. Looks good with the Vudoo.I decided to try switching from a Manners PRS stock to the ARC Xylo. It’s a great fit. More configurable, better weight balance. View attachment 7494630
They're solid. I put one on the px with the foreend weights and mag latch for the vudoo. Ran it in a few matches. Switched back to the ACC since I'm just now used to it.I really like the looks of those stocks. Looks good with the Vudoo.
I have always been a proponent of longer barrels on precision 22lr. I prefer 24”-27” when searching for the extreme limits of accuracy and no muzzle threads (in addition to a few other specific details). But in that I am splitting hairs with it hav very marginal gains. For the NRL22 world or similar a 20”-22” will do you just fine. I have both a 20” Ace and a 22” Bart here (both VGW barreled actions so everything else is the same) the accuracy, and SD / ES are the exact same with the 22” being 10fps slower.Thinking of going to a 22” MTU barreled vudoo from a proof. Those of y’all with the longer heavier barrels, how are you liking them?
Thanks for the info man! Shoots pretty well I assume?I have always been a proponent of longer barrels on precision 22lr.

I'm curious too. I have an 18" MTU and would like a 22". I'm wondering what the cost would be.Has anyone sent their action back for a rebarrel? I am thinking of going to 22in from 18in to help with balance. Seems people are, in general, getting better ES/SDs with a longer barrel and maybe less lot sensitivity? Either way, I'd get one just for better balance. Id be interested in testing a faster twist too. Though ill be shooting lead only so not interested in the copper solids.
I have a 22" Ace in MTU and I just got it back from Lapua. It shot 10 round groups at .262 center to center. The rest is up to me!I'm curious too. I have an 18" MTU and would like a 22". I'm wondering what the cost would be.
Ordered a 20” MTU v22 that just so happened to be in stock yesterday from VGW. Completely forgot to ask if it’s a right handed action. I would assume it is but I feel like an idiot having to email them to make sure. My excitement got the best of me
I’ll be sure to let you know! gotta wait until Monday to hear back from them lolIf Its left handed and you a
If it's left handed and you no longer want it let me know so I can let JP know....mine LH is in order....
The poster stated that VGW had told him that the maximum accuracy gain from bedding was achieved with pillars, nothing else was needed.
MB:I don't think this is what VGW said....

Good job. I just ordered a barreled action yesterday and my date for arrival is 2 April 2021. Looking for a good spring.
the longer you wait the further it gets pushed out!Damn, I was finally ready to buy one but not quite that patient lol
Go ahead and order one! I have a February 22 date and its getting closer by the dayDamn, I was finally ready to buy one but not quite that patient lol
That's true. I was going to order 1 month ago and it was 8-10 weeks. One month later and 12-14 weeks. Definitely a very popular rifle. Fortunately for me it is my 2nd, but the wait will be worth it. Good luck on whatever you decide. Still hear about barreled actions being sold at some stores.the longer you wait the further it gets pushed out!
Damn, I was finally ready to buy one but not quite that patient lol
Sour grapes is right. MHSA had some when I called the other day. Altus may or may not be out. VGW may have some lefties in stock from what I sounded like when I called them earlier today.
Someone say lefties in stock? Who is VGW? Vudoo Gunworks?
Mile High has a RH 16.5 barreled action in stock
I sent a email inquiring about lead times about a month ago. VGW responded and let me know, also told me to look out at dealers. Mile High and Altus. Get on notification emails from Altus. That’s how I got mine.
Dammit!!!! That what I wanted originally lol you don’t want a 20” MTU by chance do you?Managed to order a 22" MTU from Altus today that was instock. Excited I don't have to wait the 14 weeks.
When did you order? I was told 12-14 weeks....I’m on week 13.My new vudoo has been shipped and should be here on Monday. Plus another 4 days for the stupid background check. Should have it just after Christmas
Last friday... they had what I was looking for in stock though. I didn’t spec out a buildWhen did you order? I was told 12-14 weeks....I’m on week 13.
JackpotLast friday... they had what I was looking for in stock though. I didn’t spec out a build
What barrel and trigger are you getting?
Hi,For those of you that ordered, I'm just curious on how close they are to the date that they give? I've still got 2 months to go and I also have to get a bipod and scope mount.
