Why Hornady projectiles vs Berger? Even in my little 300PRC I’ve gone to 245 Bergers. You would be able to push them much fast that I can. I find the Bergers very consistent.

245 Bergers were nearly impossible to get for a long while there, Hornady's stayed available the whole time. I stocked up on A-tips at that time.
I'll prob go back to Bergers after if they are available.

Someone will start building them again in short order I am sure.

The manufacture of the action isn’t gonna just not make them when they sell like they do.

If the manufacturer doesn’t own the IP they won’t be making them. At least, not “as is” without some changes. Then again, that might be my optimism and faith in folks showing… they may keep making them and decide it’s cheaper to litigate. Though for the size of the market, I can’t see that being a good business decision given what legal fees can run!

In a second reading, perhaps you meant Vudoo would keep manufacturing them- regardless of who machines them. If so, I would agree.

Pm me your phone number for pics

@Tokay444 nailed it

I have a Dash stand alone tank style and it's been fantastic.

Bump. Barrel is a shooter

Had this setup before I got my stamp back. For those that don't know, it's a great setup. Plus the ACR stock is damn near impossible to get now. GLWS.

I think it’s just crazy that how much is all of a sudden is coming to light…

Pretty sure we are all surprised that they were not making any parts. They were building rifles.

So just like pretty much all other custom gun builders.

Someone will start building them again in short order I am sure.

I will preface this with, I have only been at the Sous Vide game a little over a year and I am still learning the best times, like the Chuck above should have been in the water longer, I will know more this evening when I slice it into steaks for work. I use a warming plate to reheat them to avoid "over-cooking" them.

Sous Vide is great for thick cuts, roasts, butts and wild ducks and geese.

I usually wet out the cut with avocado oil, season, lightly salt, vacuum bag and allow it to acclimate to room temp. In theory, the long low temp cook should "breakdown" the tougher cuts and it has yielded terrific results with bison and chuck for me. Premium cuts, not a noticeable difference.

Another option is to Sous Vide and then finish/sear in either cast iron or use a kitchen torch to get the texture and color you want without over cooking the meat. I like rare/medium rare over hardwood and that is hard to do with 2" - 3" steaks or prime rib roasts.

Sous Vide allows you to control the internal temp and overall time more accurately than a pit, set and forget, 20 minutes before completion, fire up the grill and get it to 750º or a good flame and sear. Good high temp oven mitts and sleeves are a must for that.

I have blanks on the shelf to do both, several twist options, and any contour you want.

6.5 Prefit

223 Prefit

Standard lead time is 6-8 weeks, we do have some rush service options available if you need it sooner than that.

If you squint at your pic, it looks like you shot that thing on the plains of the Serengeti.

It’s at my property in north central Washington. Pretty cool place.

We have more 12's on the shelf as of this morning.


All of our 12tw RimX barrels are Lothar Walther, here's a screenshot from the product description as we've advertised since at least 2020.

No, it's actually fairly straight forward to prove or disprove the concept, and the tuner myth has been thouroughly debunked by multiple large scale tests.

Convincing the close minded, superstitious tuner zealots that they have been swindled by cheap charlatans is the impossibility.

Multiple large scale tests prove .22LR tuners don't work?

Litz's .22LR tuner testing was reported in his book Modern Advancements in Long Range Shooting, Vol. III. The .22LR testing was seriously flawed. It was based on unreliable ammo, SK Long Range Match, an entry level target ammo. All bets for reliable and repeatable results are off with less than dependably consistent ammo.

The linked You Tube video seems to be focussed on centerfire, so it's much less relevant.

On the other hand, there are well-regarded studies which support and demonstrate the efficacy of tuners with .22LR. The fact is that positive compensation is real, and tuners can be utilized to achieve it.

See, for example, the work of Geoffrey Kolbe, who is not a charlatan.
http://www.geoffrey-kolbe.com/articles/rimfire_accuracy/velocity_dispersion.htm

Of course, if tuners work only by positive compensation, once a tuner setting is established at a particular distance it is ostensibly good only for that distance. This has implications for using tuners at a variety of distances.

Patriot Valley Arms has RimX prefits available in 16 and 12 twist, although 12 is out of stock right now. Maybe @bohem Josh can fill you in if your heart wasn’t set on a MW.

It’s an Osprey barrel, correct, because they don’t state the barrel maker. I’ve looked there before.

Keystone offers Mullerworks I think, but I did not have a good experience with them at the beginning of my Rim-X journey. That ultimately pushed me back to my Vudoo’s which Bo still love but I need a longer heavier profile barrel. Or . . . . I just keep using my Arca weight.

Ok, but think about this for a moment. A marking variance was done with a vendor that makes actions, not with Vudoo, whom has never made actions. So how, again, was Vudoo not a middleman for the action maker? And when is it ever wise to create your own competition, especially since margin for Vudoo had to be so incredibly small (or none at all)?

So, did Paul/Vudoo make the arrangement because it was best for Vudoo or best for the action maker? It's the true definition of dilution, especially noting the apples to apples comparison on their websites. The MPA is cheaper than the Vudoo.

So essentially VGW is a drop shipper. Lol

Click to expand...

Not exactly, no one sells a complete 360 other than Vudoo because no one makes a complete ready to go action.



Mike, My comments were regarding the statement about Vudoo being the middle man or drop shipper, Vudoo produced(made available) complete, ready-to-go actions for the market, no one else did at the time including MPA or myself.

@XTREM HTR16

I would like to publicly apologize for my post. I'm not going to take it down and hide it.

I made a mistake.
My buddy that manages the store and I were just earlier in the day discussing profiteers and that store tosses them out if they get sideways.

The manager ordered what he could and is still selling it at msrp but is managing the shelf quantities.

I have been with the same store since 1982, I bought from the owners parents.

Some days I'm an old asshole and the rest I'm just old.

As it happens, we just did the XLR class last week where I explain this exact problem and show some video. This is why I don't advise clients to bring scopes over 25-27X or so, we often need to shoot closer to 20x anyway. Understand, you don't actually see the target, you see an IMAGE of the target created by light rays reflected off of it. Those rays are subject to various issues as they travel through the atmosphere, and the actual position of the target itself may be quite displaced from the observed image. Everyone has seen the bent spoon in a glass of water, air does the same thing.

Fun times. Welcome to Nevada!
