Oh yeah! That's the way to treat those danged flies...they've been pestering the dickens out of me every time I set my bench up to start shooting recently, and I'm wishing I'd have set up some larger white paper targets with some fly bait here & there on them last week. Probably a little too late now, as we're into a spell of really cool & damp weather - not that I'm complaining. I need a little more rain before I can drill winter wheat with any prospect of it coming up. But talk about pin-point accuracy & satisfaction....lol
If you buy from Mile High, and want one quick, you take what they've got in stock. If that doesn't suit your tastes, then your option is to check with other shops that keep V-22s in stock to see what they've got on hand. If you don't find what you're looking for, just call VGW and place an order direct with them to be delivered to the ffl of your choice. I don't know that there's any difference between the accuracy you'll get out of an ACE bbl vs a Bartlein one. I've had both on bbl'd actions, as well as a Krieger on my first V-22 action that I did the bbl work on myself, and all three of them were equally accurate. I've gone with 22" bbls on all three of my V-22s, and the last time I talked with Paul & Jay, ACE wasn't making blanks long enough to finish at 22", so I asked for & received a 22" Bartlein Kukri.
The ACE I have is 18" long in Ranch contour, the lightest one VGW supplies. It shot great - right up there with the heavier Bartlein & Krieger. I swapped it out for a slightly heavier Krieger #4 sporter simply because I didn't care for the fact that the Ranch balanced too far to the rear of the rifle to suit my preference. That added a pound to the weight (from 8.75lbs to 9.75lbs), but put the balance point right at the front of the DBM.

Figured since the balance thing comes up on here.
I have a 20" MTU Apparition in a ax aics with a Vortex AMG and a AI AX308 with a 24" 308win barrel and an 5-25 FFP ATACR. With my sparrow on the Vudoo the balance point is about 3/8" further to the rear then the AI. Both are just in front of the mag well. The Vudoo is about 2 pounds lighter according to my bathroom scale.

It was just short of 3 weeks from day I phoned in an order to VGW to time of day of shipping out, and that was with a Cerakote.
I would just phone in your order unless you absolutely need a barreled action right away.
Just call in, tell them you want to order a barreled action and you're going to walkthrough telling them right or left hand, barrel length and contour, threaded or not, barrel make if you want something other than Ace (they have Bartlein and Kreiger from what I understand), and then the coating if you want it Cerakoted or not. You'll get an invoice right after the call to confirm your specs.
FWIW... Altus stocks barreled actions - all with Ace barrels. The consensus down my way (central and south Texas) seems to be that the Ace barrel is a little more accurate, so I went that direction myself (they're available in 22" barrels, now), but YMMV
There are two types of people.
Vudoo Owners and those that want to be Vudoo owners

You cannot go wrong with the ACE barrel. Don't overthink it. The general consensus is that the ace is just as accurate as any other barrel. I only have the ace and couldn't imagine it even being any more accurate than it already is. More than pleased
I got both bartlein and ace both 22" bartlein has hybrids face ace flat face.
Here's the ace i slapped on jae and shoot several type of ammo...i cant tell diff on accuracy to 100y
Ive heard the ace shines after 200y
Heres the bartlein fluted
I am officially part of the club! Picked up my Vudoo today. Lefty Raven.
Just threw my 20" kukri into my 2018 mpa ba chassis ... The action screws that came with the vudoo were too long but the action screws that came with the MPA SA chassis worked perfectly on the video/ mpa combo
Finally can place an order for a "Team Vudoo" shirt without being a tool!!

Feels so damn good, if I had to be an entitled bitch, I'd say a 60 degree bolt throw would be great for the clearance on optics and to match some custom actions. Customer service is fantastic. Wish I could pick their brain all day, there's some geniuses over there.
Thank you all so much. Everyone at Vudoo and everyone here that convinced me to finally pick one up.

Yep, that should do it. Probably never touch that cz again.
Lookin good....feel free to reach out anytime if you need anything, have questions, etc.

Only as it applies to how long it takes us to do something if I decide to develop it and if we decide to offer it. It wouldn't be years

Well when that happens, count me in for 2, 1 lefty, and 1 righty

Awesome! I'll start a list....

I’m in too. I need that sweet 60 degree bolt throw to match my AI!Awesome! I'll start a list....

So we shouldn't JUMP...to conclusions about a 60° Vudoo?
Understood. I was just trying to show my excitement at the possibility of a 60° Vudoo, I definitely don't want to contribute to anyone NOT ordering from you now because of a couple comments on the Hide. Just shot my buddy's V22 in an AX chassis at 285 yds and I've got the bug now...
I get it Samb300, fortunately, there's a lot of excitement these days and I use it to gauge where we are and what we should be doing for guys/gals in this community. We listen closely and act quickly....keep it coming....

Well in that case, put me down for a swept bolt handle with round knob, to fully completely my "mini" AI (in LH of course!)
Haha, that did snowball. Anyhow, I've shot a few V22's and a big fan, but if i'm plopping down the 6K for 2 V22's for my fiance and myself, I don't want to feel like something's missing, and after my centerfire and rimfire bolts being 60-70 degree throws, I'd love my V22 to be the same.
if you read the rest of this mile ling thread...they all shoot the same
my rifle happens to have a 16 bart form MH
buy what they have in stock IMO
After years of development, we have perfected a 22 long rifle gun. It will mimic the Remington 700 action print to a T.
It is highly accurate and built like a tank to exacting tolerances. The gun is 100% customizable bringing to the table just about anything you want to do to it. Any 700 type trigger you want. Any barrel you care to have. Along with the choice of about 100 stocks.
The people who own the gun , love the gun. Its praises are sung constantly by the select few who have been through just about every 22 long rifle out there. Words like , " incredible", " "astonishing" , " masterpiece" are often used to describe it.
But, the townspeople have spoken, and they want to change it. They want it to be more like a Cooper, or an Anschutz, or dare I say CZ?
I have watched this uprising since first it began. The only thing I could think of , after taking it all in, was, " Are you kidding me?

Many many townsfolk buying them now the way they are with no hesitation. Seen it too many time ago on forums people screaming for something and the company changes and sells very few as they did it for the vocal minority.
I'm going to buy one regardless, but it would be cool if they offered a 60deg bolt. I'd pay a premium for it, and there's no reason to kill their current action which is awesome as-is. To me, no 90deg bolt is "perfection" but that's just my opinion, and everyone has their own opinion. I shoot AIs for my match guns, so that's what my muscle memory has become over the past 4 years. The vast majority shoot standard 90deg bolts, so it makes sense that Vudoo pursued that from the get-go (and ignoring any technical challenges of 60 vs 90 deg bolts).

Mines at lapua now, as long as its a shooter i couldnt care less about how many degrees the bolt moves.
