Vudoo Gun Works V-22 Rimfire Bolt Action

He was certainly something... I was just surprised that you guys had worked so closely in the past. Let me tell you fellas, MB's mentor was definitely the real deal, I've met him!
He was, but I seem to remember it a little differently. After seeing what he ordered for breakfast, two bologna and jelly sandwiches with a jar of pickle juice, I was scared. That's the breakfast of choice for the Rhodies.

It is good to see you lurking back around these parts Mike, I hope all is well with you and yours.
All is good, JB, very much appreciated. The welcoming has been quite humbling....Hoping all is well with you and yours as well.

does anyone have a good picture from a borescope of the chamber of their barrel? like right where the lands start

Subscribed, I just started the build process on a new 360. I’ve been following this thread for quite a while. Over the last few years I’ve owned 5 CZ457’s. My latest has a Lilja 23” barrel, a Holeshot tuner, a Scar trigger, in an MDT XRS chassis that shoots fantastic. I’m having my 80th birthday soon and decided to splurge.

Wow... I thought CZ457 "triggers by Scar" were unobtainium!
 
I'd like to get into NRL22.

I enjoy shooting 22 a lot and practicing with the wind as I have access to a 650 yard range.

Not bench rest. I want to use it.



That chassis has a 19" forend so I would go with a 22-24" barrel and MTU at the minimum. Contour would depend on what you are happy swinging around and moving through a stage with.

Looks like Kukri and MTU only come in 22". I could get the 1.20 bartlein in a 24" but I'm hung up on that looking kind of weird

Do a search. I am sure there are a ton of those chassis with 1.2" or 1,25" barrels in it so you can see what it looks like but looks don't equal performance. ;)

I just watched a video from eagle eye shooting and he had one with a 24" barrel and said it balanced perfect so I'll lean that way.

Looking for input on a Vudoo 360, specifically barrel type and length for an MDT ACC Elite Chassis

Here's a poor photo of my RimX with 22-inch Shilen (Heavy Varmint contour) in one of my MDT ACC chassis. In my mind, a 22" barrel looks funny in an ACC (too short). Note that the barrel has a KSS tuner on it; its adjustment sleeve extends back from the muzzle so, in a centerfire application, a brake can be screwed on in front of the tuner. In this case, you can see a thread protector screwed onto the muzzle.

I'd go with 24" or even 26" for an ACC. Balance will also be improved with 24".

What borescope was used to take these pics? If possible, could someone post a pic of the scope itself?
Thanks
TKH
This is the one I used to take these pics. Plugs directly into my phone. I can get you some pics of my scope but it will be a couple days.

This is a 360 with 25” 1.25 straight taper and EC tuner. MDT ACC Elite balances very well as is. For a narrow barricade I need just a little weight out back. On a 2x4 it balances at magwell without bipod and about an inch in front with bipod.

Thanks, Vudoo offered a 24" with an EC Tuner on the build sheet (bartlein barrel). Waiting to hear back from them on that so I can pull the trigger. Thanks for posting the pic

I’m having a 360 built by Jonathan with a 25” barrel, BnA, and EC tuner. The action shipped today. Estimated 12 weeks. Hope it’s better than my Lilja 457 which shoots great. This will probably be my last one.
 
Had a similar question(s) as @USMC22 but for the MPA Matrix Pro chassis. I'm also considering the MDT ACC (Elite or Premier). I want to build a Vudoo 360 for NRL/PRS matches and also use it as a trainer for an ELR/PRS 6.5CM Centerfire build I want to do down the line. Most likely that will be a 22-24 inch M24 profile barrel with a Curtis Valor Action in the same chassis I use for the Vudoo.

Is it that difficult to balance the rifle out using weights with a 22 inch MTU or Kukri Contour Barrel in the MPA Matrix Pro Chassis?
Would the weight of a 22 inch 1.2" Straight balance more similarly to a 22-24 inch M24 Centerfire Barrel with a brake on it than the MTU or Kukri?

I have a 26" 1.2 straight - in the Matrix Pro, I had to run internal weights and the steel spigot.
 
Damn that thing must be rear heavy to need all that.

I totally did not expect it to need that much weight to balance out. So I'd probably need a 24 inch 1.2 straight at the least to balance out the Matrix plus internal and side weights and keep the bipod on at all times, Yikes. Is the Matrix Pro that rear heavy?
 
Yeah that is a lot of weight. Didn't realize those chassis were that rear heavy but must be as they do leave a good amount of aluminum back there.

For reference, 26" straight taper in an ACC Elite. Still put all the internals in to get it to balance. The elite is pretty heavy in the rear, but the razor gen 3 isn't doing me any favors in the balance department either. 23 lbs and could still use a touch more weight out front.

Yep. My 23" MTU required both sets of grayops weights, and still kind of wanted a bipod at the end to get it to sit freely. Now if you go a lighter scope / rings that could help too.

Is the black gen 3 the exact same scope as the brown one or did they make other changes for euro opti?

Which Grey Ops weights are you using? The smaller inserts or XL ones?

Are you running the internal weights also?

That's the way to go. My Manners TCS with a 23" 1.2" straight and no extra weights balances nice and is sub 20 pounds also.
I'll have to try it out today and switch things up LMAO.

I also have centurion with tungsten weights but with my 25" 1.20 it's dangerously heavy
