I've watched you guys with your fancy Voodoo V22 and wanted one so bad! Finally got the funds to get one and was so excited I had to post pictures before I even had a scope or shot it yet. The Bell & Carlson stock was not my first choice but it was laying around so its getting used for now. I will toss a what ever scope I have that's not being used for now but want the Bushnell 6-24X50 Match Pro or the Athlon Ares BTR . My Voodoo has a Shilen barrel and Bix trigger and have a bunch of various ammo to test and find what it likes. Cant Wait!
Meet my very own Voodoo! Been waiting a long time.

I got very lucky that a friend ordered a barrelled action and was on the wait list but while waiting they announced the three lug single shot so I bought the repeater when he got it and he ordered the single shot. I think it was a 8-10 weeks out when he ordered as well. That's why I jumped at the drop of the hammer.
Thanks again Steve! So Happy to have one.

I ordered May 8th and picked mine up Wednesday after it spent 8 days in the hands of UPSNice!
If ordered from VGW, when was your order placed? I'm at the 6 week mark and the struggle is real. I think they are running 8-10 weeks now?
The bolt knob is one I make here in my shop. I always wanted a good looking skull bolt knob and over the last couple years trying different ones I finally found someone that does an investment cast Stainless Steel Skull that was the right size, detail and quality . I finish the machine work and make them fit and now with an awesome Voodoo I just had to put one on it. Another Voodoo owner had to have one too so I sent him one that was machined with a little extra length in the threaded stem and he did some delicate belt sanding and got it to fit.
And yes I think it is my favorite rifle all ready!

Have you tried the skull knob with scope on rifle
How much clearance
Would like one if it clears ok
Yote
Surprisingly I like the feel of it. You feel the roundness of the top of the skull and your fingers curl under the chin nicely. Here is a comparison with a scope on. I think there is a little more room to move the thread boss out which would create more room yet. I will try one. Feed back is what I am looking for so keep it coming.

my smith is fitting mine on my axiom bolt today ill post some pics when i get it back.
chip you should get a few hundred rounds throuh that vudoo before you really try to nail down a good ammo...my vudoo took about 300 rounds before it settled down.
this is the place i was talking about for test lots and ammo....just call cathy shes real nice just tell her you need some test lots and youll buy a case when you find the right stuff.
and that shilen ratchet will shoot theres a reason those BR guys use them.

Well I've been enjoying my Vudoo V22! I put Vortex Diamond Back tactical FFP 6-24 on it and like it so far. Wish it had zero stop though. I've shoot several of the suggested go to ammo but have a few Lapua that I'm trying to get my hands on to try. So far the SK Rifle looks promising grouping 5 shots at 50 yards about .265" ctc. Real happy I made the leap
I only use Lapua or Eley. I know it works. I had mine out to 400 yards yesterday. 60MOA got me out there.
Center X is lot dependent as well. The current lot of CX I have shoots noticably worse than my current brick of SK Long Range.
Lot testing at Lupua demonstrates that within Center X there is a big difference. Mine actually shot CX better than Midas +.
Well worth the 50.00$ I bought 2 cases just for my Vudoo. Though she likes most SK pretty well. I found that my V22 shoots better with a medium hold on her. She doesn't like a super soft hold.
