Yes, very helpful, I have seen your rifle in other posts, and am considering something similar, as a strategy. I am converging (as of today) on a rifle similar to yours, before you switched from the MDT chassis. Maybe best described as the 90% benchrest solution, or a Verison 1.0, with some built in flexibility, which is one another reason I went with RimX, the ability to change barrels reasonably easily, and with stock that also has flexibility.
I have talked to several stock manufacturers over the last several days, including Foundation, and although I feel it would give me more accuracy than a MPA or MDT chassis, I kind of like the flexibility of the V grove chassis for later, especially since I didn't like the Manners and have no way to try out a Foundation in person, before buying it. I have am MPA Pro 2, and would not hesitate to get another or an MDT Elite.
In reality, the barrels are about the least expensive component of this rig, and after reading @padom post on the RimX more times that I care to admit, I believe I will get an ACE barrel from Manzell that will be pretty good, maybe very good, but I'm sure it will not be the only barrel of this rifle, so then sometime later, I will want to try a different one, maybe a Krieger, or a Benchmark, or who knows. Padom changed barrels how many dozen times in the RimX post? From how many manufacturers? Successfully, and was shooting tight enough groups to evaluate each.
I will probably get a tuner simply for experimentation, and will try it both on the Vudoo and RimX.
Bottom line, I know I don't know enough of what I like to get a final solution, so will have to muddle through it.
