Vudoo closed the doors…
So, I've been following this Vudoo mess a few days now since it showed up on my radar. Wow, sure have learned a lot about how things ran at Vudoo between this and Mike's thread. Since, like everybody else, I couldn't seem to get a hold of the Vudoo people I contacted Three Sigma manufacturing...- BigJimFish

Update 5-14-2025 As mentioned, I am planning to do a number of site visits to some of the Ohio based manufacturers of precision rifle products this summer. The first of these is with Kelbly’s who I have known for 15 years dating back to a review of a March 1-10x rifle scope I did back when...- BigJimFish

DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures
I have a few thoughts. First off, thanks for stepping in and providing a source for parts kits and the cost effective poly magazines. I'm sure I'm not alone in intending to continue to run my Vudoo indefinitely. Without question it is the rifle I shoot the most and enjoy the most. .22lr just...- BigJimFish

Precision Rifle Gear New Athlon Rangecraft Chronograph-Garmin Xero Killer?
I thought it was 3.30. That's actually why I hadn't updated the Garmin again. I thought I dodged a bullet on that one. Until near the end of the Garmin review I hadn't updated it's firmware at all. I was totally satisfied, why would I. I only updated it to be thorough in the review and cover the...- BigJimFish

Update 5-5-2025 It rained me out half way through work today so I decided to jump ahead and do an indoor range run with the new Athlon Chrono today instead of waiting. Of course, I set it up side by side with the Garmin for the comparison. Boy was I in for some big surprises. Side by Side at...- BigJimFish

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update
I really thought I had dodged a bullet not having installed the 3.30 update. The last one I did was 3.27 and I did that one only at the end of my review cycle when I was making sure I had investigated the various software features thoroughly as I didn't use the app for my own use. Turns out I...- BigJimFish

X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions
I played with the Calypso pairing again last week. The option now exists in the Calypso software but I was not able to get the vector X and the Calypso AB to actually pair. It looks like something the AB guys are actively working on at the moment as every week or so there are new updates on the...- BigJimFish

What Optic Are YOU Running?
The big things are that whatever you use needs to focus close (25 yds or better) and have a ton of elevation (35 mils is great if you can get it). You might not think you will, but you will use all the elevation. .22lr drops super fast because it is subsonic and not aerodynamic but in most cases...- BigJimFish

I should have a chance to some initial testing with this on Tuesday but for now I will give you some first impressions and photos.

Kelby's Prometheus Action
Wow, I remember talking to Ian when Kelbly's switched from the gate style extractor to the Sako style they now use. The change had some big cost and function advantages but the biggest concern was ensuring the Sako extractor could not escape and become a projectile in an over-pressure situation...- BigJimFish

Kelby's Prometheus Action
I just shot a site visit video with the Kelbly guys that hopefully I will have edited and posted in the next few weeks. In the meantime though I do have a few insights on the subject of ignition. They do hand fit some of the small bolt pieces, most notably the cocking piece, to ensure function...- BigJimFish

Printed Precision Trickler
I gotta say, when I saw this post I got a little excited hoping for a sort of do it yourself kit option where you would buy the non-3d printed parts in a nice convenient kit with some profit markup from the designer and then 3d print and assemble the rest yourself. Given the open source nature...- BigJimFish
