Mine is 1706 I'll call vudoo.
Give them a call but again I will ask does it do that when you actually run the bolt like you would in actual use?

Made I video of it in action to show that it is indeed still a issue.Yeah it seems you are twisting it a certain way to get it to hit. I would load a mag and run the rifle like it will be run and not super slow or twisting a certain way. Not saying you are doing any of this to cause it but just trying to help you see if it's an actual use issue or if it's something that doesn't happen in use.
Also as mentioned, clean the rifle.
Update, I talk to Greg at vudoo and your assessment is the assessment he came to after having me do some troubleshooting procedures. Vudoo is one straight up company he hooked me up, and the rifle will be going back to get fixed with no cost to me. If Greg sees this post thanks a lot for your help and jam up service!!I'm not going to armchair diagnose but definitely call them and let us know what they say. They did a barrel setback for me in the fractions of an inch and changed the breach to better accommodate dryfire. Plus changed out a part or two on the bolt itself that had developed the burrs. It was covered under warranty and they probably had it for 3-4 weeks since at least at the time they were a little backlogged.
Glad there was a resolution. They told me after working on it that the problem should be solved and it shouldn't crop up again. It was just something that happens in early Gen 1's that haven't had their breach changed.Update, I talk to Greg at vudoo and your assessment is the assessment he came to after having me do some troubleshooting procedures.

Awesome!!! I really enjoyed that. I speak from experience on hitting the built in ejector.Why does it offend you if my rifle gets dirty? You take a close up video with camera light on and see if yours looks much better. I buy my rifles to shoot and use not to clean and pamper. Also answers like yours don't help problems. It a way of trying to tell the asker your dumb im smart. Btw I was trying to rock the bolt to test the extremes but if you say for one second how it is catching is normal i can wright you off. Typical internet stuff.
I shoot a frankengun T1X that has a very similar feeding problem depending on exactly how I run the bolt. That is unacceptable in a custom rifle for Vudoo $$$$. If I can do that well in my basement, the $$ is a scam. I am paying for a full on custom build right now. If it requires the same care as my amateur cobbled together Tikka to stay functional it will back at the manufacturer to be fixed.Awesome!!! I really enjoyed that.

The minor movement I didn't realize I was doing with my hand to move that little to Catch the edge. It sucks when it's US the SHOOTER that is causing a problem and we can not blame the TOOL. Once we as shooters realize 95% of the time issues are on us we are better off and learn from it.
1-Bergara B14r, 2- Gen 2 Vudoos, 3 RimX builds with 5 different barrels, CZ 457, 40X Build and a Gen-1 Vudoo.
Cycling the bolt straight back and straight forward will stop that issue. Just putting the slightest pressure Left or Right will move it to hit the extractor.
But hay I'm just an internet keyboard warrior so don't listen to a thing I tell you. And yes my rifles are 100% tools, but they are cleaned once im back home from a range session so I don't have that in my head of is my NASTY rifle causing my issues.
It's all mechanical. We are all human. We are all capable to influence things in the wrong way to make them NOT function as intended. It don't matter if its a Ruger RPR ( The Ford Pento ) or the best 1 off rifle made ( Ferrari ). It can and will fail if WE as shooters have anything to do with it.I shoot a frankengun T1X that has a very similar feeding problem depending on exactly how I run the bolt.

I don't think so as it would be HUGE news here. Unless it just happened and you're super early to hear.I might have missed this but did Vudoo sell to new owners? What’s the info on that anyone know?
Saw it from a Facebook group. Said that Paul was taking an extended vacation and they are going through ownership change.I don't think so as it would be HUGE news here. Unless it just happened and you're super early to hear.
#40 is missing for me lolMight want to read 40 also where I addressed it all after a discussion with Greg.
Your first and second sentences say it all.Might want to read 40 also where I addressed it all after a discussion with Greg.
Same. Not sure what's up, maybe it's because I'm not a member of the website.#40 is missing for me lol
You wanted something, they couldn't or didn't want to do it, so they referred you to someone else who could do it well. And you ended up with a rifle you seem happy with. Why does it seem like you hold this against them?They actually referred me to David Lott to help me build the rifle as I had specified and yes it cost a little more but I got exactly what I wanted from an actual gunsmith in half the time Vudoo quoted
I don't hold anything against them at all and have a few Vudoo rifles and love all of them. Not certain how many custom rifles that you have had built where the smith tells you NO you can't have that, this was first for me. What surprised me was how they operate now versus just a few years ago and believe pistols are now their focus....didn't mean to come off like I am slamming them.You wanted something, they couldn't or didn't want to do it, so they referred you to someone else who could do it well.

Gentleman's name is Jacob.Not that it matters any, but do the new owners of vudoo have a name? Will it still be named vudoo or moving on to something else?
Yeah, me too! Then I logged and and saw post #40 appear. Wtf kind of deal is that shit?

My 360 runs the same way, not nearly as smooth as my RimXMade I video of it in action to show that it is indeed still a issue.

I'm not saying this is the issue, but I have issues with my Gen 1 on metal mags verses using the nylon mags. I'm not sure what it is. I did have an issue with my Gen1 on a nylon mag the other day as the follower seemed to be sticking. Cleaning the inside of the magazine with alcohol and a q-tip seemed to solve that issue.Made I video of it in action to show that it is indeed still a issue.

I am not aware of a 1.25 thread protector, however, any decent gunsmith that could thread your barrel can machine a protector in their sleep.Going to get my 1.25 barrel threaded for a can. Anyone know if there is a company that sells a 1.25 thread protector for 1/2x28 ?

I figured they could but thought a manufactured one would be much easier on my wallet. Might have to go that route though.I am not aware of a 1.25 thread protector, however, any decent gunsmith that could thread your barrel can machine a protector in their sleep.
Is there a brake out there that's close to the same o.d. as the barrel?Could also just put a smaller one on as it’s just there to protect the threads. Or a cheap brake.
Probably not as large but will be close. Worth a look. Just there to protect the threads.Is there a brake out there that's close to the same o.d. as the barrel?
Here is a question that i have asked before but answers dont seem to calm my anxieties. Those 1.25 straight barrels are very heavy and them being free floated, all the weight rests on a very small part of the action. Is the Vudoo action strong enough to support that ?
Thanks

This is something I've never heard before. Can you explain how it is that a heavy barrel does this? Thanks.BTW, with that heavy barrel it is so much fun to see the trace of the bullet on the way to a steel plate at long distance. It's almost like shooting a PCP air rifle.

Old thread I know, but recent experience with Vudoo customer service was so horrible that it needed mentioning. 2nd time back to Vudoo for multiple issues including sticky bolt. No resolution and $250 bill to me!On their website, Vudoo states, "You won’t be disappointed…we guarantee it!"
They go on further to say, "We have a customer satisfaction guarantee policy at Vudoo Gun Works. If you are not completely satisfied with your rifle, please contact our customer service team to discuss the options available to you."
That's pretty impressive and contributed to me buying a V22-360 as a shop demo/competition gun and now for several of my clients waiting for the arrival of their Vudoos. But I wonder what happens if you get a rifle that just doesn't perform as well as you think it should, like compared to other rimfire rifles that you have. I suspect what they'd do is offer a barrel swap... does anyone here have experience with that?
$250 bill for what?Old thread I know, but recent experience with Vudoo customer service was so horrible that it needed mentioning. 2nd time back to Vudoo for multiple issues including sticky bolt. No resolution and $250 bill to me!
Has your friend tried a different trigger?$250 bill for what?
I have a friend that has had to send his back MULTIPLE times because it will fail to fire at least one center X per mag. They can’t seem to get it fixed but least they haven’t charged him.
He has pretty much stopped shooting it due to having to lift the bolt multiple times per magazine to fire one round.
I'm curious too, $250 for what? I had to send my barreled action in to them to get my barrel set back since I have an early Gen 1 V22. They paid for shipping both ways, didn't charge for the service, and even threw in a 30MOA base for free (I had a 20MOA and wanted 30).Old thread I know, but recent experience with Vudoo customer service was so horrible that it needed mentioning. 2nd time back to Vudoo for multiple issues including sticky bolt.

I’ll have to ask. He has a TT diamond in it currently like we all do so I’ll see what he’s has put in it.Has your friend tried a different trigger?
