How long until 18 inch is available? I know you may not know for certain but a rough ETA would be awesome. Thanks!
With SHOT upon us, easily a month, but I'll call PROOF and see how they're comin' along.

Damn, you are going to make me sell my built CZ and a few other items to get one of these.
Any hard data on weight differences between the Proof CF and say a MTU or Kukri? I am sure these will be popular! I am interested to see how they shoot...
Leo discount for just these or you offer Leo discount for full builds?
Well isn’t my timing great.
I just get a Leupold mk5 5-25 & I find out the 7-35’s are hitting the shelves.
I just,only just get a Vudoo & carbon fibre barrels come out.
With my luck so far if it was raining virgins i’d be washed downed the gutter with a bender!

If your wanting a light rifle to throw around and shoot standing I can see the carbon barrels being popular.
For PRS style shooting and longer range you will want a heavier gun.
I have an 18” Kukri suppressed in a carbon manners and it actually jumps when you pull the trigger. I have to load the bipod constantly or it will shoot high. I wish I would have went with a heavier stock and that might have solved that issue.

No hard data JB, but the feel-in-the-hands difference is significant. I'll get them on the scale as soon as I can and post numbers.

Thanks, no rush just curious
Here are 4 different 5 shot groups I shot today at 50 yards with the Vudoo. Subtract .220” for bullet diameter and those are respectable group sizes. This gun now has over 9000 rounds through it! My second Vudoo will be here tomorrow, I’m hoping since it’s brand new it’ll shoot better than this old worn out one I’m currently limping along with! ?

Celebrating 20 years with the department in June and thinking of rewarding myself with a Vudoo a little early.
Congrats and couldn't think of a better way to reward yourself. Got mine in 2017 just before I retired.
What stock and color is this?
Grayboe ridgeback, some variant of dark earth green
I got the chance to pick up my Ravage today from my FFL. The photo doesn't do it justice but I just figured I'd snap a picture from my phone to throw in here. I put my TBAC 22 Takedown, Vortex PST II 5-25 in ARC rings, and my Harris with the ADM rail adapter on there. As pictured it weighs 14.5 lbs but I didn't buy it for offhand shooting so I'm not bothered. The whole rifle feels solid and the TriggerTech Diamond is the best single stage trigger I've ever felt. Looking forward to seeing how this whole system performs.
What diameter of bore tech cleaning rod are we using?
.17, .20 or .22
.17, .20 or .22
I also use a .20 cal rod
Looks good. If I may ask - what color combination is that on action/barrel and chassis? I have a Vudoo on order and I'm thinking yours (including scope) is exactly what I chose other than I specified a 20" barrel. I'm wavering on whether I want a more "colorful" combination (NRA Blue chassis - I've seen a couple and kinda like it; the red might be too much).
I can't believe I'm posting on a shooting forum about what color my new rifle might be... but if I'm gonna spend this kind of coin on a .22, I'll consider every freckle on the thing...
after everything i have read about 22lr (i have a 16" vudoo) is there any difference in barrel length and accuracy?
we are using scopes so sight radius is out the door
22lr ammo supposedly i full burn in 14-15" of barrel
some books have said that a choked barrel is the way to go
other books say that a longer barrel stabilizes the MV/ reduces ES.
does anyone have 2 vudoo's with diff length barrels with some actual data?
preferable without a can up front
thanks

Not an apples-to-apples comparison, but the ACE 18" Ranch bbl on V-22 #3 shoots almost as well as the Krieger 22" sendero & Bartlein 22" Kukri on #1 & #2. Ranch is a much lighter contour than either sendero or Kukri, so there's that to consider. Personally, I don't like the appearance of the shorter bbls. I wanted a 22" Ranch, VGW just couldn't provide one, since their ACE blanks are all too short to allow for that length. I went with 26" finished length on the Benchmark & Lilja blanks I ordered for my jelrod-converted 40X & XB repeaters, and they shot groups comparable to the 22" bbls. However, it didn't take long for me to realize I'd have been happier & better off with something shorter than those two 26" bbls, especially when running a 6" suppressor on them, and especially when shooting stages with a barricade. I've gained experience shooting 22RF rifles as I went, and don't think the earliest targets I shot with the two 40Xs were as good as what I could shoot with the same rifles & ammo today. Bottom line - the three rifles I shoot most often today have 22" bbls, and they all shoot as least as good as anything I've shot before, including Anschutz 1611 & 2011 rifles with 27"/690mm bbls. And speaking of Anschutz - they offer (or used to offer) shorter bbls (500mm/19.7") in their top-of-the-line 2013 rifles, with a bloop tube to extend length for front sight mounting.
Whatever - I don't care for the appearance/proportions of 16"-18" bbls on a 40x or V-22 at all. I think a 22" bbl provides better balance, along with more attractive appearance. That's just my personal preference - but there's also a practical consideration - if you're shooting w/o a suppressor, the longer bbl also produces less muzzle blast. Pick what you want - it's your money...but you asked, and so I voiced my opinion.

18” barrel with a suppressor. That’s the way to go
It’s gun metal greyLooks good. If I may ask - what color combination is that on action/barrel and chassis?

Well gentlemen, I finally pulled the trigger on a V22. I went with an Apparition in an MPA BA Comp. Will be putting a Viper PST GEN 2 5-25 on it. I also purchased 3 extra mags and the Vudoo bore guide. I think I’m pretty set up and can’t wait for it to get in. It will be a long 8 weeks. LOL.
Lots of that info in this thread and others. For me it loved almost everything I put through it at 50 yards but for longer range out to 300+ you want lower SDs and Lapua Center X, Fed UM22 GMM, and Eley Match and Edge all did great for the longer range stuff. SK Rifle was good to but higher spreads.
Rob01. That is what I have been reading. But I purchase 500 rounds of Center X. So I will try that out first. I never saw or read about the Fed UM22 GMM I will have to do a search. Thanks for the info.
Great info thank you I’ve heard Eley match is popular will have to do research here on the forum .
How long have you had your Vudoo? Is it super accurate ? No feed and extraction issues.seems like Rutgers have issues with extraction. What chassis do you have?

I think there is some info in this thread or one of the other Vudoo threads with Fed UM22 info. I know I posted some last year. I had heard they were discontinuing it but still see it for sale. The Center X will do just as well.
Timmy, had mine since around October 2017. I one of the first ones with serial number of 10. Very accurate rifle. The only issues I ran in to were ammo related when using Eley CMP bulk box. Shot ok but a good amount of extraction issue. Not due to the rifle though. The ammo was varying greatly in size. Anything else I ran through it worked 100% for reliability. I don't have mine in a chassis per se but it's in a Manners PRS2 with a mini chassis. Here is a pic.
I just got back from the range shooting my Ravage for the first time. My father and I both took turns on the gun. A total of 40 rounds of Lapua Center-X were shot, 35 of which were at 50 yards and 5 were at 25 yards to get it zeroed. All groups were 5 round groups.
Largest group was 0.5" at 50 yards, both of the largest groups were within the first 15 rounds through the rifle. The smallest was roughly 0.2", the average of 7 five shot groups was about 0.35" as a rough estimate though it would be a bit smaller if the first two groups were not included.

Here is some Eley edge at 50yards. 10 shopts on left and 8 on right. 230 yards was the farthest i shot a group and it was with Center X if i remeber correctly. Right at about 2".
Some Eley match at 100 yards and then some Center X
Just got my first V22 set up. This was a 20" Kukri barreled action that Mike posted as an over run. My other V22 will be here in a month or so and is a 22" Bartlein with graphite black cerakote. Heading to the range tomorrow and Monday. Fortunately my club has a 100 yard underground rifle tube so I don't have to shoot outside in the cold.
Played around last night and made a brass catcher...tired of picking brass between little cracks..,
Little prototype, next I’ll put a small box on the right side to hold the box of Ammo.
Knocked it over more than once...
Old scope ring and some plastic, holds about 60-80 shells

A Vudoo 22 shot three consecutive 440yrd hits (12"X12" steel plates) at the Inaugural Desert Sportman's Club ELR 22lr Rimfire Match today.
