Benchrest style 22lr build

[urbanrifleman]

The stock I want to use has a barrel channel of 1.250 and an aluminum bedding block. The barrel on the Vudoo barrel is .910. Should combination that work ok together?

I haven't noticed the Revolution bedding block requires bedding.

I think it is a smart thing to bed all bedding blocks.

I think it is a smart thing to bed all bedding blocks.

Never hurts. But I have the vast majority of my customers not seeing the need.

I think these new actions are just more true too.

Some bed the recoil lug. I have one if my best shooters he has a recoil lug tightening bolt like the MPA chassis uses.

Wolf Precision has a youtube video, about a Vudoo in an MPA, action was hitting 3 out 4 contact points.They claim 70-80% need bedded.
One of the comments,......close to 60 different reminington 700 footprint actions designed to fit in how many 100 + stocks.

Exactly. Penrod built a rifle for me several years ago and I went with his custom bedding block. When I received the rifle the bedding block was completely bedded over, and I would strongly believe that with his excellent machining skills, his bedding block was more precise than a 'production' part. Same with the HS Precision stock on my Rem 700 SA that had a factory bedding block. Didn't even shoot as good as the original 'tupperware' stock that came off it. Bedding over the block fixed it.

Mark is as good as it gets!

Talked to him the other day about working on a Suhl. Really good to talk to and full of information

 

[Hi-NV Shooter]

Nothing better to get a glove fit then bedding compound. if you ever bedded an action, you know what I mean. that crack as it breaks free and releases from the bedding says it all!

P.S I aren't talking OJ fit

Not being a ball roller, my 2cents. I built 4 F/Class Rifles on your very nice Lam Stocks with Blocks.
I opened the recoil Lug area and Bedded them,over sized Lug used.Those Rifles are Winners.

Very cool. Thanks for letting me know!

I have ordered the stock from urbanrifleman and the barreled action from Vudoo. Now the hard part…the wait!

 

[22vartarg]

I just received an email that the order has shipped and 7 weeks ahead of the schedule!!!

Exciting.

What configuration did you end up with?

FWIW the barrel channel of my Revolution was exactly 1.2” and I used a barrel contour that started at 1.2 and necked down quickly to .900 for the rest of the length. The 1.2” section contacted the stock wood and I needed to file a tiny bit of relief when I fitted the gun because I didn’t want any contact there. (Would it have mattered considering it’s the 1.2” stub and the rest of the barrel is .900, I have no idea, but that was the choice I made).

I am puzzled by your comment that you bought a Revolution stick but didn’t want a “true” Benchrest stock. What is the difference?

 

[22vartarg]

1.2” diameter barrel at 25” length. RBLP Vudoo action. What I meant as a BR stock was something like this…. The revolution stock looks a little more traditional yet still has the 3 inch wide forend and flat bottom. It looks a lot better than the one picture below to me.

All put together and sighted in. Very happy how it turned out an early five shot group shows extreme promise

yeah.. you're gonna have to tighten that up a tad... what discipline are you planning on playing?

Bartlein…26”… 1.2” diameter

It’s an informal benchrest match at my local club.
