Who all here is...

I’ve never tried it in any of my bench guns but I doubt it would even chamber. I know junk bulk ammo won’t chamber in my CZ Precision Trainer with a Lilja match barrel. Match chambers are much tighter and even if you did manage to slam some in - which not sure why you’d even want to put that crap in a bench gun but at any rate - I’m sure you’d begin to have lead ring problems almost immediately.

I've tried everything imaginable in my Vudoo V-22 repeater. Everything chambered.

I'm guessing the BR Vudoo will have the same chamber.

might be too long.. for a lot of BR chambers

All chambers are not cut the same. Different reamers for different purposes. Having said that, I have no idea what reamer voodoo will use. Maybe/probably a proprietary version of their own?

That’s amazing. You must have won the lot lottery. I can’t see how that would even be possible with the velocity variation between rounds. I’d be curious to run it through a chronograph to what the extreme spread and SD is.

My buddy and I were shooting our Vudoos at distance that day. There was a yucca that looked inviting and I was out of Eley TenX at that point. All I had left in the car was a brick of SV that I use for handgun bullseye.

After getting the wind figured out, I put 8 rounds right in that yucca. And that was ok because it is a known rattlesnake nest.

CCI SV at times in my Vudoo will have a 'firm' bolt close, nothing alarming just a little extra downward pressure.

My Vudoo does not chamber CCI SC smoothly at all. For some rounds you have to slam the bolt forward hard to get the bolt to close. I’m switching to SK+ for plinking ammo for just this reason.

Very interesting thread on BR central.

Very interesting thread on BR central.

According to Mike, the BR version will have a different chamber. IMO big mistake. here is why, all you repeater shooters will get stuck trying to find ammo that will shoot in this new chamber.

Lee,

I’m trying to understand your point. How or why would that matter? It’s a different rifle entirely and designed for Benchrest shooting so most guys won’t be shooting cheaper Ammo out of it anyway?

Current chamber has minimum engraving from what was said about the specs. IME the more it engraves the more it becomes lot sensitive. from what I have been reading current chamber will shoot just about anything good to really good.
How so is it a different rifle? will it not be a Vudoo action?

The new action is designed for Benchrest competition. It’s just an addition to the line. The regular Voodoo will still be available. It’s not meant to replace the current one from my understanding. Unless you know something I don’t?

The SS action is a 3 lug action and the repeater is a 2 lug..I don’t know if that matters a whole lot. I believe Vudoo will be offering their barreled actions when they start offering them with Muller barrels on them.

From what I understand, the rifle will be based off the repeater action but as a single shot. when you wrote different rifle, I thought completely new design and not one that was based off current model.

Either way, there is no effective difference. Whether it’s a completely new design or a modification to the existing one; it’s still not like the new action is replacing the old. It’s just an addition to the line. Those that like it as is will still be able to get one. The only difference is that the Benchrest guys will now have a new, dedicated action to play with as well.

Like I said, that’s just my understanding. I have no connection to the factory and no special insight into what they are or aren’t doing. That is just my understanding of it.

That was my understanding in the beginning. now someone is saying it will be a 3-lug design. is this a case of follow the leader? interesting, from an initial adaptation of the current design to now a 3-lug and Muller barrels. there are two 3-lug RFBR actions available the Turbo V3 and Trident, what would make it any different?
When the current rifle first came out there were a lot of argumentative postings between Vudoo shooters and RFBR shooters as I recall a point was made as to how well the rifle shot and the exclusive barrel made for them, ACE was the barrel and the accuracy comparable to a dedicated RFBR rifle. just seems odd now it is going in a different direction and as I said following the leaders in RFBR?
IMO it would have been interesting to see the current action to go up against current designs.

Lee, the new BR/F Class action is different than the current repeater action. It's a three lug single shot, six o'clock ignition with a newly designed fire control system. The trigger is our own and is a product of close collaboration with Flavio Fare. In addition, I would not use a chamber I designed for a different discipline in this new action. The chamber is specific to BR use as are all chambers used by guys that shoot BR. Of course we'll be using our own Vudoo/Ace and I have Muller, Shilen and others I'm currently working with.

There is more to an action than just how many lugs it has. I have a Turbo V1 which is a two lug. I bought it on the recommendation of Jason Freymeyer who advised me that a lot of guys who shot the the V3 went back to the V1 because it wasn’t as smooth and no more accurate than the the two lug. However, there are plenty who do like it, so to me it just pretty much comes down to personal preference and whether or not the rifle shoots well with whatever given Ammo.

I think mostly, when it comes to stuff like this, you’ll get arguments from people pro or con on this or that action, but in reality the bottom line is, is the shooter actually capable of wringing out the maximum accuracy the rifle is capable of producing?

I’m pretty sure whatever action they are working on will be more than capable of producing match winning results. And if it doesn’t, we’ll quickly know about it from through the match scores once enough guys start to shoot them. Benchrest is a very exacting discipline...

There you go, right from the horse’s mouth!

Good luck with your new action MB!

Thanks DF, I don't check in here very much, guess I'll be paying closer attention.

Hey Mike, Just surprised that you are going in a different direction with something totally new. initially I thought the new BR SS would be an adaptation of the current Vudoo model. will foot print be the same as the Vudoo? as you know actions being equal, it will come down to the barrel and chamber
