Many will ask about the cost, so here you go:
Rifle - $2,650
Base - $500
Scope - $1,400 - $1,600
Give away? Lmfao jk
Wow! That's a lot of doe!
It’s to expensive to give away
@@tylerminick3979 bruh
That's my new work truck sitting there.
Why all the negative comments? The gentleman is only showing 22 weapons that's some of us have never seen or heard of. I myself love all 22 in all shapes and sizes. I'm sure all of us have shot a 22 that was as accurate as the voodoo. My old bolt action Remington Targetmaster was a tack driver before my eyes gave up. Folks keep an open mind and enjoy the videos like I do. And David, love your videos keep them coming!
Agreed
I actually built one of his guns and bought another prebuilt by someone else, (his specs from one of his videos) and both guns made me shoot better. Maybe it’s all in my head, but my Buckmark is deep into $800 and is worth every penny although it did hurt paying that much for a range toy, I have easily earned back every penny in joy. The other was a 10/22 which I bought prebuilt for closer to $1,200 and honestly it’s at least twice as good as the Buckmark and everyone that tries it adds at least one or two of its features to their own if they already have a 10/22.
He has very good advice and while it’s sometimes quite expensive quality isn’t cheap. But also remember that many of his trick shots are done with his Henry lever gun which can be had for a song considering how pretty it is and that is far from a rack driver and yet it still splits cards with the best of them.
Its ridiculous.
Grandpa's 80 yr. old Winchester pump....Stevie Wonder could shoot this thing on target!!
No hate. Just not impressed.
Being a Marine Corp Precision shooter, from a long time ago, I think it's awesome the work this and other channels are doing to encourage precision shooting without the stress of concealment and combat.
Right, I equate precision shooting to meditation. Show me your group and I'll tell you how your day is going.

If I read you correctly ...
Calm, relaxed mind; untensed body, and especially muscles; slow breathing and heart rate, with lower blood pressure =
@@nigelft Yes. Being calm, mind empty, focus only on the bulls eye, but not eager, you don't _need_ to get perfect score, you give it a go, see what happens, but your intention is the center of the target. I had an opportunity to be trained by a guy that normally trains special forces guys. I don't know what I expected, but the first instructions he gave me was, "relax... breathe..."
I agree . Hunting also is that .
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing There is a guy I met in Switzerland who was from gibraltar, Near Spain.. he was a senior officer for the British military as a Sniper and trained a whole platoon under him. Whenever he is at the range now days there in gibraltar, he always calls any precision training, "Zen Shooter". I like that idea! Its what got me in shooting more here in Texas.
Hello, I'm Peter from Wiesbaden Germany. My friends and I shoot Rimfire up to 328 yards at the WSG Wiesbadener Schützengesellschaft. Steel plate 40x50cm. My rifle is a CZ455 in an MDT stock rifle scope Hawke 4x16x50 Rimfire. In addition to large calibers up to 338 LMG, we have optimal conditions to shoot. I have a team that almost only wants to shoot Rimfire Shortrange. from 54y, 109Y, 218y and 328yards. We came across your HP through RUclips and have to say you do a good job. We in Wiesbaden watch your films regularly.
Sporty greetings from Wiesbaden
Peter
It's refreshing to have someone who knows what they're doing!
- Taking 10 rounds to season the barrel is something I wish many other rifle/ammo reviewers would do.
As a former 4 position .22 shooter, that was so satisfying to watch. The suspense of the group size was fn awesome
By far this one's favorite .22 for 75 yards plus.
Yes a steep tag, however if distance and accuracy is your thing, it's a great gun and worth it
Absolutely love my Vudoo

By far my favorite gun I own😍
Plink, Many years ago shot 22LR for competition. Winchester 52D, Anschutz, Eley black & 10X. I read many of the comments flaming this beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I was at a competition many decades ago and still remember one of the competitors places his case on the spotters stand and watching it accidentally knocked off. That young man had a nervous breakdown right there. We all hung our heads that day. Thank you for the video!
I got a savage over-under my eighth bd, I'm 78 making it seventy yrs. old. Perfect shape, still drives tacks. Just saying.
I enjoyed this, I built a custom 10/22 using a target model receiver and everything else was Volquartsen (bolt assembly, trigger group, and barrel). I thought putting $1k at the time into a .22 was getting a bit obsessive (or ludicrous) but it shoots with similar accuracy, especially with Eley target or club xtra ammo. It’s common at 50 yards to put 3 shots in the same hole and all 5 shots touching, but that 5th shot is always the group maker.
My new Lithgow 101 Crossover .22, with a Aussie made TSP X chassis made by SCCA, with March scope 3-25 X 52.
will at the moment at 50 mtrs will do 0.6640 to 0.69230 with only under a 1000 rounds so far on 6 shot groups, with different .22's from Federal to SX, CCI, etc.
I am not pissing in your pocket, but with my eyes and age (mid 70's) and with getting more used to the standard trigger will get smaller yet especially when I find the right .22 ammo that suits the Lithgow.
Cheers from Down Under.
Referring to the Glasses Fogging, If you remove your Cap it allows the glasses to vent better, the cap will keep the rising heat/humidity from moving.
Thanks for the VID, always love Your content.
Thought the same thing about the cap.
This is correct. I have had to do this many times.
Ditto and if he doesn't want to take it off... turn it around.
I am just scratching the surface of precision.22. I recently bought the Bergara B14r and topped it with the Arken SH4J 6-24 Gen 2. It shoots very well so far. I am taking the time now to find ammo it REALLY likes. It has shot most everything I have fed well. I have stayed in the standard velocity range and working on getting some of the pricier ammo. The stores around here don’t carry much if any. I have watched many rifles and shooters use a lot platforms and the Vudoo has been one of the most accurate platforms I have seen. I just can’t bring myself to pay it haha. I never thought I would pay what did for my Bergara! Thanks for the content.
I have had a Ruger 10/22 T SS for many years now and it does extremely well at 100yds and out to 200yds . Never tried
anything farther because that is as far as I can shoot on my land . I payed just a little over $400 I think about 2000 are so.
I have never regretted buying it one second . I have no problem with 600yds with my custom Rem 700 .308 but with a .22 that
is some shooting .
my 10/22 & CZ loved Fed auto match ammo.
Wow friends! Lighten up. Why insult people you dont know? It's okay to question but we're all on the same side? He never said it was the most accurate. EXCEPT it is of any HE has ever shot. There has been amazing examples of .22 bolts over the years. I have a browning T-bolt from the 50s, I have shot 3/8 " group with a Chinese ammo in the early 70s. Sometimes things can really come together. If you dont like expensive rifles or pistols, then move on. I for one enjoy hearing about them and seeing them.Thanks for the video and sharing so many neat things. and God bless all here
That would be great if I could afford one. In the meantime I will use my CZ 452 Ultra Lux with a 28” hammer forged barrel. Here’s a challenge compare the Vudoo Ravage against the CZ 452 Ultra Lux .
Well made bolt action rifles are just a lot of fun to shoot.
I have one and love it.
same boat here, me and my cz455
My Anschutz 64 Rifle $1200, Weaver 36x $350, best 50 yd group .110" w/Wolf Match. Beats the hell out of the others with their Hall action, Rem 40x, and custom Savage. Better than my Ruger Precision rifle too. My rifle has a short barrel, 5oz trigger, no tuner. When the accuracy falls off (about 300 rounds) , I clean it by running a bore snake through it. I don't shoot past 100 yds, If I did I'd probably buy a Voodoo. Nice package, thanks for the review.
Very nice rifle. Thanks for putting it through its paces. My first experience with a precision .22 rimfire was a BRNO Model 4 made in 1957. It was one of a batch that were made for the Czech Olympic team - this one had been used for training. I used a simple rest (it didn't have a bipod), and the scope was an inexpensive (for that time) Bushnell 6-24 x 50. Because of the unusual "patent" scope mount grooves milled into the receiver by BRNO (17mm dovetail ?), the only rings available were for a 1" tube, and apparently were made in Australia. It had been bedded and "set up" be an armorer with 25+ years of experience, and he'd really put some work in, especially on the trigger. The stock was a nicely figured wood - pretty plain and "boxy" but it fit the shoulder very well. (I sure would have liked one of those pop-up cheek rests). The rifle had come to the owner with a Shooting Book listing every range session, including weather, time of day, # of rounds fired, ammunition type, and a record of the 'tightness' of every 3- or 5-round group. The consistency was amazing.
Shooting it, the ammunition I had available was regular CCI - no Eley to be found. Even so, the accuracy was astonishing out to 500 yards - the longest range available. If my memory is correct, the barrel was close to 30 inches, and easily 30 mm - about 1-1/8" - in diameter. The rifle also had a set of very elaborate vernier peep sights, number-matched to the rifle and also made at the BRNO works. Those are almost unobtanium these days. They were superb - far better than the guy peering through them. The price had been high but not ridiculous, I was told - I'd guess $500 given the price of an "average" .22 at the time. They cost more now. These came were the predecessors to the CZ "target" .22's built in the same factory. It was a beautiful rifle to shoot, and although almost as old as I was, in superb condition. Much later I had a chance to shoot a different BRNO Model 4, that one with a good Leupold scope (30mm tube). Having the better glass was nice - unfortunately, rifle and scope were totally out of reach.
Now I'm hoping that someday I'll have a chance to try out a Voodoo with a good scope. Looks like a sweet setup.
Very nice. I think people forget just what caliber is traveling through the wind and distance and still finding it's target consistently. Well done !!!!
The accuracy is amazing and a beautiful rifle. I have the same amount of money poured into a 6.5mm so I can understand the quest for accuracy, I just needed it to be able to drop something with antlers as well as hit steel at 1000+ yards. Thank you for the video.
Eley is the right stuff. I worked a lot on Model 52 with the bull barrel. What I did to get it to shoot perfect is to bed the action, and don't let anything touch the barrel. E.G. I had to remove the contact points in the stock. While in the stock it looked like the stock was touching, but it wasn't. I could run a piece of paper down the barrel all the way to the action and not hit anything. After that I didn't need to do warmup shots anymore and it was consistently accurate. I had a big Unertyl open gimbal scope on it. The micrometer format is very nice because you with the range finder you could just rachet it to the setting and shoot, and 50 yards was zero. 200 yards was 53" with Eley Tenex. I cut out Styrofoam shapes with a cord through them and covered it with fabric to use as rests for hunting. I made a metal rod with a white plastic and a weighted pivot that I would stick into the ground halfway between my position and the area I was staking out. I would read the wind speed on the pointer through the scope and adjust the micrometer for windage. After some shooting you have all of your settings and you only need one shot. 175 yards was consistently a 3/4" group, and 200 about the same. 250 not so much. That was more 75% of clay pigeon size group.
For that kind of money, it should have a cold beer waiting for me after every mag. Very nice, but damn...
I agree, it's VERY expensive. However, for people who shoot tournaments and matches for money, they are willing to spend whatever it takes to win. That's the difference between first and second place. 👍
That's not a lot of money to make you instantly competitive in a precision sport. People pay more than that for a bicycle.
@@22plinkster It does not take $5000 to make a .22 shoot good enough to win anything ! They are not improving .22lr capability by that much to justify the cost . This rifle is not for people who want to win matches it is for Yuppie Bob the idiot rich guy who thinks he has to out gun the guys he shoots with once a decade . This company is the exact example of a company that is out to hurt the gun community . Charging 2500 dollars for a .22 with no sights is ripping off customers at a level that is complete bullshit . There is not justification for that on either end . The buyer is being so screwed by the manufacturer that there is not and acceptable excuse for it. These companies willing to charge this much for a .22 rifle that does not cost that any more to produce than a $350 dollar .22 lr should be driven out of business ! I would never give a company this evil a dime of my money .
@@terrywaters6186 It is a lot of money given it only takes about $200 dollars to produce this rifle . What they are charging is criminally high . No rifle makes a shooter instantly competitive in shooting sports . This is a rip off and there is not any justification for that much cost on ANY .22lr rifle . It;s that simple !
@@jesusoftheapes Oh, I didn't know shooting a smaller bullet makes a gun automatically cheaper to make.
I'm so impressed that you aired the "outliers". Good man.
My Savage 22lr is able to put 5 shots in 1/2 inch at 80 yrds. (Maybe smaller, the way I see you measure your group.) cci standard velocity. im happy with that. Especially for the money. I shot a lot of different ammo to find the right one, but it was worth it. So fun.
Yeah I’m my opinion this thing is not worth the money. A Ruger American Rimfire or savage can still do that but with a fraction of the price. Throw a Nikon Rimfire scope on there and you are good to go... too much money for a 22
memeloerd04 that’s because you are a mere mortal, unfortunately so am I. A great driver in a high end Ferrari can make it almost fly and for most owners it’s just a status thing. I’m guessing this rifle is the same thing.
@@parkerbranaa5718 a savage or ruger is not doing the same things as this rifle. Maybe once in a while a lucky group but not consistently
@@kylefelkner I'll take it out this weekend and post results.. like plinkster said, it what that rifle does beyond 300 yards that you see the difference. I'm not shooting that far and to CONSISTENTLY shoot half inch groups(which despite your opinion, it does) is fun as fuck for me.
TwoBrokeShooters I can do it with my savage
I have a lovely 2001 stainless marlin model 60 semi-auto 22" barrel that I have modified a little (Boyds Thumbhole stock,Custom 11 degree target crowned barrel I did myself & A custom made 17 oz flat trigger) that I was shooting last summer using CCI SV 22lr LRN 40gr 1,070 fps using a Weaver V-16 scope and I shot a 10 rd group at 50 yards that the first 2 shots were fouling shots because I just switched ammo then the next 7 were all touching with the 10th shot just barely off the group at the bottom.....Needless to say she is one accurate rifle.
Oh and the cost is Rifle $150,Stock was $50,Scope was $250 & Trigger was $75......I think she is a keeper.
A lot of sour grapes comments. Though not my cup of tea, I enjoyed the video. Keep’em coming.
Agreed love his videos but for me not worth the money.
Not sour grapes, just not that impressed.
Yea.. Keep'em Coming
@@dbelex so what does impress you? A 1000 yard 22 is nothing to sneeze at in my opinion.
Bunch a jealous rubes. This is an excellent firearm. Can’t afford it but I congratulate those who can. Really nice rifle.
I have winchester 22 magnum I bought in 1975 with a Leopold scope I can hit dimes consistently at 100 yards it's a beautiful rifle and wouldn't get rid of it..
Leupold scope??
I have one quite a few extreme Rimfire silhouette matches with a Kimber government 22. I am a sucker for an accurate 22 rifle. And have a number of them in my collection. But I would love to shoot one of these things. With the right ammunition I can shoot a single hole with my Kimber at 50 yards. If I can't do that with any of my 22s they are not suitable for this kind of competition. Thanks for the video excellent.
I won with a 239.oo CMP H&R M-12 at my club
I have that Kimber too and it shoots the same as you stated.
I've had my Vudoo V-22 Ridgeback since Dec 2019
Thanks Dave. Great video. I'm impressed with the accuracy immensely. I long range shoot with a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. Just learning the art. Mine has a bit more kick to it than the voodoo.
A mate here in OZ bought one ,took him months to get it to shoot,found the issue causing the problem, apparently the firing assembly is adjustable for length,his was way off specs ,after much hair pulling ,cussing they found it. Now shoots insanely accurately. Cheers Mal in au.
I will put my Winchester model 52 b against that any day. It was my fathers and he was the state champion for 3 years in a row, It shoots thru the same hole most of the time, so much that they had a backer target to confirm that in fact there was 5 shots shot thru the same holes.
Funny, I have 2 52 Cs and I know off a bench with the right ammo. I have gotten 0.1-0.2 groups c-t-c at 50 yds. so many times it was boring.
I'm not sure if 22 plinkster has owned a Winchester 52 though, which would make this the most accurate 22 he has ever shot.
@@aricheath3670Mine has a Lyman, supertargetspot 15x 34 mm objective aperture with a Lee Dot in it with black widow cross hairs. I shoot Federal Gold Medal Ultra Match ammo, and I agree it does get boring cutting the same hole out. Boss iron sites with Redfield Olympic front site with all the different apertures.
It's true Winchester 52! An awesome rifle dating back darn near 100 years. American manufacturing excellence.
@@cschym2705 Larry Potterfield from Midway USA did a review on the 52 and said it's one of the most accurate 22 rifle ever built.
My 52b can shoot 1/4 inch groups at 50 yards all day long, so sad they don't make them anymore.
I was watching a Vidio by Utar airguns and they were shooting up to 550 yards with an FX air gun using slugs. Please get one for a review. I can get my Air Arms out to 100 meters with 1.5 inch groupings using pellets. I didn't belive anyone could do this until I Tryed it for myself.
what scope power do you use for the 100m shooting?
@@nmarbletoe8210 24 zoom
That is a sweet rifle looking into one right now slam on the brakes price tag stopped me 😂
Lots of money but the ammo is almost free and the shooting is good. I just bought a 45-70 and hunting ammo is insane but the rifle was not, ($750 for the gun and cheap ammo is $2 a shot). A $4,000 .22 with $.05 a shot cheap ammo means after you shoot about 1,600-2,000rds of .22 you are equal to my new 45-70 assuming no repairs, (the lever gun will need something around then but the .22 will be good for another 50,000rds).
Of course that’s a lot of money when a fine 10/22 will get you 95% as much joy for far less.
John-Paul Silke still there is no replacement for displacement, you still wanna shoot something with a bit of recoil, to learn recoil management. A 22 is great to learn the rudimentary, but u dont need a $3000 one, $400 will do.
But to each to their own, if u wanna buy one get one.
Michigan dont want one so.
Punctuation is free fyi
How to shoot straight Channel you are absolute correct but there are all kinds and even low power air rifle is a discipline where at 25yrds they shoot 1/5th MOA or better. Some of those guns are $10,000 and we should welcome them to our weird and somewhat wasteful sport with the same eagerness as .22 rim fire guys. I’m a .22 plinker because it’s cheap and fun but all day long I can shoot 500 S&W and if I could I’d shoot 400-500rds a day. But 100rds of .22 scratches that itch. I do have a couple quite expensive .22’s and this gun holds no interest to me, but I am getting older and most shooting is more fun then less shooting......
John-Paul Silke i love plinking with a 22 also, nothing more relaxing than shooting random stuff and metal at the range with a little 22, u can shoot none stop cuz doesn’t really heat up. Really fun to shoot a box of 500 the entire day.
They say money can't buy skill but this does help
Us mortals need some handicaps to get anywhere near the levels of legends like 22plinkster. Money buys a proven rifle, a proven scope which allows a not so good shooter to focus on developing a skill rather than questioning equipment. I'm a decent shot and I've had a brand new scope and couldn't get it sighted in for the life of me. Ended up getting a new scope through warranty. Spending money on quality helps.
If you are a 3 moa shooter with a 2 moa rifle shooting 2 moa ammunition that’s up to 14” a 100yrds. The same 3 moa shooter with a .5 moa rifle and shooting .5 moa ammunition can make that 8” and learning how to read you sights and set up your ranges can shrink both of those by half nearly instantly to 7” and 4” which is plenty good for most people. (I’m a 3 moa guy myself as are most hunters but a good gun and very good ammo can bring home a trophy or dinner.
@John-Paul Silke true I agree also do you need to get sub MOA at 1000 yards? Probably not
Is that mt shasta in your profile pic
Yeah you can buy a proven rifle for a lot less tho
I agree with ByrdShot(below). I, too have a Kimber Model 82Govt with Kimber peep sight(though currently have a Unertl 6x.) With the Unertl, this is the most repeatable .22 I have shot as far as I can remember(shooting .22 more than 60 years!) at all .22 applicable ranges.
Anschutz : There is no substitute.
Anschutz and Porsche.
I enjoy watching that voodoo that you do so well!
That's Nice, noticed the sound of the Bolt Action, sweet 👌 Nice run on the Scope to👍 Good feeling and Joy to finally get "your heart's desire", congrats!!! BTW: nailing 1/2" groups at 100 Yds with a 22 pretty darn good, even with wind. 🎯
I want to see the Lithgow vs Bergara vs Vudoo.... I would also like to see Lapua Center X, Midas +, SK Match and Eley 10X. I just purchased a Vudoo, the same one you reviewed. I bought it because I trust your reviews and appreciate your videos. I think the Lithgow didn’t get a fair comparison because you used Gold Medal Match and CCI Green Tag. I would love to see apples to apples.
My good buddy grew up with the owner of Vudoo and I've been lucky enough to have a lot of trigger time on a Vudoo.
I can happily say they are unbelievably accurate.
A great 'specimen' showing the 20/80 rule;
The Vudoo vs. Ruger Precision Rimfire
What do you get in accuracy
-vs-
what do you pay out; Vudoo = 5x the cost of the Ruger PR.
I hope you do a side-by-side contest with these two, keeping the big cost difference up front.
I re-watched the Lithgow "most accurate" video from 22Plinkster, but even for 22-Plinkster the Vudoo 22 was the 'best'. I have seen better youtube Vudoo 22 reviews with greater details of design and shooting different ammo/situations ... My personal experience with my own Vudoo 22 has been even better (20" MTU barreled action with a Bixn Andy 2 stage trigger in a KRG Bravo chassis) Using a higher power comp scopes are beneficial to placement so Vortex Golden eagle or Night Force x42 comp scope 30 MOA base.
So at 100 yards with Center X or Midas+ (Midas+ more consistent but $$ more) 1/2" even on the right day 1/4" .... amazing rifle! This off bipod and rear bag but wooooo. One of the biggest reason for going to Vudoo was Left-Handed action, but the rifle is the most consistent and accurate RF rifle. My 2nd would be the Tikka Tx1..... best 430$ you can spend (SK Long Range 22 ammo ....loves it) and Tx1 left-hand coming in soon.
Enjoy and pursue the best accuracy ..dam!
Most accurate and one of the most expensive too
Those groups you were shooting were nearly identical to the Ruger Precision Rimfire review you did a few years back. The difference, you used CCI Green Tag and Federal Gold Ultra Match ammo. There was no sled on the Ruger review, just propped up on some bags on the table.
Would be interesting to see a side by side comparison using the same ammo, and the same bench rest setup. Future Top 5 bolt Action Review video?????
Correct
late as a subscriber,but ever had the pleasure of shooting winchester 52.shot a 10 shot .72" group once.single shot & heavy,but a dream to use.thanks
If you want the best..........
I really appreciate the absolute best quality in everything.
Thanks brother. I just spent $1,200 dollars on a BSA R10 SE pellet rifle.
If I have to explain it. Some people won't understand.
Thanks again. I'll be ordering one. 💣💣💣💯💯💯💯💯
I can totally relate. When i started building ARs, i thought PSA was good to go...once i got a taste for quality, the psa rifles got sold. Life is too short to cheap out on most things.
Good choice. Order a huma reg for it as well.
I paid $1,600 for a USED Feinwerkbau pellet rifle almost 10 years ago since new it would cost about a grand more than this 22, and yes, without any sights! I've shot it more than any other rifle I own by far, mainly in my backyard and basement. I was thinking this Vudoo would cost more actually, an Anschutz pellet rifle or 22lr does cost more.
FX Impact is pretty good too.
Great review and loooove seeing the same hole groups!! Impressive stuff. Can't wait to see the long distance on that bad boy
Totally love it just a it sits there in the video. Sadly, I'm only seeing this video now, March 1, 2022. But wow! I love the art of precision shooting.
I’ve got 2 Winchester 52b Sporting rifles, 2 Cooper sporting rifles, a stock Ruger 10/22 (with an ages-old Tasco 4x scope) and a Dakota 22 LR sporter that will outshoot the Vudoo all day. Never had that much luck finding a Kimber that would shoot that well despite their gorgeous wood. Back in the day, when 22 metallic silhouette was hot, I got the downtrodden and dejected looks from the other competitors when I showed up with that Ruger 10/22. I was only 17 years old at the time, worked part time in sporting goods at JC Penney in order to pay for college and that was all I could afford. I’m now 60 and still have that Ruger. 4 out of 5 times I cleaned their clocks with that little auto using Winchester Super-X ammo vs their high end Kimbers and heavy barrel target 22s and Eley ammo. I never had to work a bolt or reposition my hands or cheek, shot to shot. That was a HUGE advantage. Reminds me of the old saying: Beware the man than has only one gun. He likely knows how to use it. I’ve been crazy about super accurate 22LR sporters ever since. Never had much use for all that unwieldy steel on a heavy barrel. Couldn’t carry it squirrel hunting. 🤣
Great story, I bet out squirrel hunting you had to walk 15 miles in hip deep snow. Uphill both ways…
at about 10:05 the wind lifted, it's clear and visible in the trees, it pushed your shots high and to the right. You're doing great listen to the wind and feel it in your hair mate you'll get there. All the best from Coffs Harbour.
On a stand like that I’m not surprised!
Yea. It’s best to test rifle accuracy free hand shooting out the back of a moving pick up truck. Everybody knows that.
You can't use rest connected together in matches.
frederic Burns Obviously. The point of a lead sled or a rest like that is to simply establish the rifle’s accuracy potential and which load it likes best by taking as much human variable out of it as possible. After that you would train like you normally would.
Vincent Nastri no doubt. That takes 90% of the talent our. I like open sights on a squirrel head.
Fliegenklatsche As I said, a lead sled or shooting rest is to help you establish the guns accuracy potential and which loadings it likes the best.
Very nice. One of the most accurate rifles I own is a cheap Rossi RS22. You just can’t beat a 22 for accuracy.
Unreal... half an inch groups. So basically you could shoot someone’s eye out 5 times at 100 yards. Really impressive.
After you shoot 1 eye out, I'm pretty sure the bad guy is gonna fall to the ground. No need for another 4 shots!
Don't forget to mention that the Element Optics scopes are built with input from airgunners.....Yeah, sometimes us "Pnuema-nerds" know what we are doing!! 😄
A 1000yds, with a rimfire, that just blows me away!!! But then it makes me confident that my idea of a 200yd springer air rifle is possible!!! My best so far is 1 liter soda bottles at 150yds with a Hatsan 87QE in .22 with a Discovery 6-24x44mmSF/FFP, and UTG droop compensation mount.
I need one of these in my life now.. thanks Dave for sending me into debt haha
LITTLE EXSPENSIVE FOR ME BUT VERY CLEAN , I GOT A 10/22 SITTING IN A HOGUE ON AT 28 INCH STAINLESS FROM GREEN MOUNTAIN AND IT HAMMER LIKE THAT GOT $550.00 IN IT WITH A REDFIELD ON IT ... BUT GREAT VIDEO CLEN LOOKING RIFLE ....
The ONLY problem with Vudoo rifles is that they are not Social Security compliant. I can dream.
Hick Bozon What does that mean?
savage will do the same thing dont buy into this marketing bs this guy gets paid to say all this crap
@@brassvulcher8207 I have one. It's awesome
Unfortunately there's no overtime in either Social Security or V A disability...I miss the days of unlimited O T...
@@yaykruser you'll understand when you retire...
I shoot PRS with my Vudoo. Sitting 3rd in points for the season for out league. Plinkster isn’t shooting a more affordable version. I shoot a Vudoo with TT diamond trigger at 10oz, mpa chassis, and a NF ATACR 7-35 coming this week. It’s easily a $7000+ setup.
Awesome rifle, I would love for you to do a video for your top 10 tips to be a more accurate shooter or something like that.
I have a Winchester 67a, single shot bolt action ... with iron sights. Back when I was in my 30's with eyes that worked, I repeated multiple times, a standing shot, breaking a beer bottle at just short of 100 yards ... in 2 or 3 shots .... using cheap non jacketed lead ammo. I say multiple times, as after the second time, I started betting on my shot, and bought a couple bricks of .22 lr ammo off my winnings. I still own the rifle, the thing I loved most about it, was the factory 27" barrel length.
I cant get over that magazine big mag little bullet.
If you want to know .22lr, go to Rimfire Central for your 22 need and info, the owner of vudoo is a member
How can 2 guns shoot good out to 300 yards and suddenly 1 get worse after 300 yards???
Twist rate? or putting more spin on the bullet keeping in more stable longer?
What about a choked barrel?
Yeah, I'm not sure how that works either.
@@huntingdude4life It doesn't. Shooting really well at extreme distance requires a special skill set of understanding wind and changes in wind over distance, heat, humidity etc. Extreme long range shooting is more about the skill of the shooter than the equipment, but you do need the equipment to be up to the challenge. I would guess that Vudoo promotes these extreme distance shoots and shooters so that is why you see so many Vudoo's at the game. That is a good thing and the Vudoo is a great rifle but there are a few steps beyond them.
Exactly what David said. Just because you see vudoos in long range matches does mean its more accurate at long range than other actions and barrels. It has a lot to do with the fact that it’s magazine fed, reliable, and the customization of it. Look to the benchrest game to see where the most accurate rifles in the world are. Vudoo does have a single shot action coming out that might start showing up in benchrest matches in the coming years. I’m looking forward to seeing how they do. What plinkster said about these rifles being so much more accurate at longer ranges compared to others that are as accurate or more at shorter ranges doesn’t make much sense.
Heck there're so many things that can affect the bullet flight it's a wonder anyone hits anything beyond the muzzle. Wind is probably the most well known factor; then consider temperature, humidity, cartridge and bullet weight vs gravity, Coriolis, and the true biggest factor: how many beers has the shooter had? Then let's discuss the rifle, the bullet, the powder....
Oh, forgot, sorry: the twist rate on nearly every .22 made is 1/16, so that won't affect much-- until you discover how clean, how smooth, the crown... we can go on...
22lr is the strangest caliber when it comes to sitting down to do accuracy testing from one bullet maker to the next. You are the ONLY! One here on RUclips to address this weird accuracy issue when you said you shot 10 rounds with the different ammo before you started trying for your group size. I have discovered that no matter what 22lr you are using form the very cheapest to the most expensive maker if you don't shoot sometimes as much as 30 to 40 rounds down the barrel you may as well not even be trying to make and informed decision as to how accurate that manufactures ammo shoots in your gun. Also don't skin me alive with this next statement but it is very true. The dirtier you leave a 22lr barrel the more accurate it will shoot.
I wonder how this compares to Kirsten Joy Weiss's competition guns?
Her Anschutz could cost up to double what this cost!
The last I saw, Kiersten was shooting a Volkquartsen (sp) and hitting eggs at 300 yards with it.
When you're grouping well, keep that pace up. Don't overthink.
You ought to send the gun to Lapua or Eley and have a lot of ammo matched to it.
Owned both a Lithgow and an Anschutz when I was a kid; the Anschutz was a manual-cock single from like 1968 and was a tack driver.
Elmer Fudd would have never had to leave his house. Bugs Bunny wouldn't have had a chance.
Frank Kerst PoorBugs! Lol.
that rabbit's pretty smart ya know
@@beebob1279 Fudd would more than likely miss and hit the carrot. And, the famous line in the cartoon, "This means war! It's over for Fudd at that point.
I have a Winchester 52C manufactured in 1956 with a 28” heavy barrel and a Vortex Crossfire scope that I would put up against a Vudoo anytime!
I shoot 200 yard offhand Schuetzen matches with great success and I don’t have 3K invested!
Rapid454ss one problem, they don’t make the 1956 52C anymore......
You can buy a used bench rest rifle that will shoot circles around the Voodoo for $2650. IMO the Bergara is a better rifle. Costs much less also. A couple of guys at our gun club have Voodoo rifles. In all honesty they don't shoot any better than my CZ 455 in a Boyds Pro Varmint stock.
I understand completely what you're saying. However, the gun is only as good as the shooter. When I see someone putting up 5 inch groups at 600 yards with their CZ's, I'll change my tune. Btw, I love CZs. I have a 452 and a 455 Ultra Lux - both are tac drivers.
@@22plinkster You are at the mercy of the wind shooting past 300 yds with a .22. Our 200 yd steel targets are 5"w x 6"h. Throw in some cross wind and the fun begins.
And ammo, can't find good match 22lr ammo to save your life anymore.
@@22plinkster hey
Thanks for all the great videos you make
Sometimes it’s the Indian and not the arrow
Really nice that big magazine, much easier to handle. I have Sako P94S with TRG-22 trigger and silencer. Best 5-shot groups 21mm measured from outside of holes, so officially measured ~15,3mm and thats from 100m.
I am getting about as good... < 1 in at 100 yards, about 1 in (MOA) at 200 with my Ruger Precision Rimfire in 22 WMR shooting CCI 22 WMR Ammo 30 GR Varmint, at about $385 rifle and another $385 scope ( Vortex Diamondback FFP 6x24x50 MOA). I hit a knot hole about 1 inch diameter in a 2x4 at 200 yards twice and it blew right through. (Nice Varmint round, eh?) The 40 grain and even 50 grain are excellent too... with a little adjustment. Also, my Ruger SR/22 with Green Mountain barrel ( .22LR, STINGER CHAMBER, 1:18 Twist, 20", 4140CM, 3.05lbs, Blued, .920 Fluted Bull Barrel for Hyper Velocity Stinger Ammunition. Button Rifled, Stress Relieved, Air Gauged, with a Bentz chamber. Tap and drilled for a scope.) and it's a "tack driver" as well... but I don't usually try beyond 50 - 100 yards and it won't cycle the lighter recoil 1080 fps rounds... not meant to be a "match rifle", but hey, it shoots "Stangers" real nice! ;-) I appreciate this review as well as the weapon and accessories! No way am I being critical.... love what you are doing, and thanks for sharing! Just thought I would share for those who are more budget minded like me...
That 22 is a fine rifle quality is never cheap.
Most of you guys are looking at this wrong.
This rifle is setup to ding steel at huge distance repeatably, with lapua target ammo. It's not a squirrel gun, not something you buy to plink cheap bulk ammo, not just a plinker. It's a true PRS or nrl style match rifle
While I think this is a very good rifle I believe the Lithgow would give it a run for its money. I’ve personally shot my Lithgow 22lr. up to 600m with constant hits. In saying that this rifle is more set up for that long range with all the features it offers where as the Lithgow was designed with Australian hunters in mind.
I dragged my old Lithgow through Australian bush for years... I had quite a few bolt action .22LRs as a kid, and the Lithgow was by far the most solid I owned.
Really love my v22, just use sk rifle match ammo is already amazing, much better with lapua center x. now ended up with pm2 ultrashort 3-20, magpul pro 700 chassis(was in a manners with mini chassis), ckye pod, huber two stage trigger, love it.
I’m not seeing how this is more accurate
Halo effect because of the $$ ... People need 5o validate their purchase.
Thank you for this very interesting video.
Yes, this is a very nice rifle and I am quite surprised by the negative comments you get.
This rifle is expensive, but, considering that a brand new ISSF smallbore match rifle is around $7000 - $7500 its price is almost reasonable. And ISSF match rifles come without scope, but with a very refined peep sight and tunnel.
Obviously, such prices have the potential to kill a discipline, especially when more affordable rifles become very hard to get, even second hand.But this is another story.
If you want to get the most of your rifle, using match grade ammo is not enough. You have to select specific batches that perform especially well with it. This can make A LOT of difference, and it is critical for an olympic or a world championship finale. Ammo manufacturers like Eley provide this kind of service, but specialized dealers do it too.
A last point, if you did not already read it, you may be interested in reading "small bore rifles - A guide for rimfire users", by C. Rodney James. He really has a lot to say about rimfire rifles and his book has been republished in color.
I'll stick with my Ruger 10/22. 50 Yard 5 shot group .403" with CCI Standard. I did have it benched with a 3-15x SWFA.
This. I have 2 slightly modified 10/22s that will shoot one ragged hole at 50 yards. 10 round groups usually result in 1 or 2 flyers however. Not to take anything away from the Post or the Vudoo.
Chuckle chuckle, better stick with your .40 S&W
I had a friend that said he was going to beat us with a Ruger? He did it too but he worked on the rifle so much that the only thing Ruger on it was the trigger guard!LOL!
wish u could test a jw22 they are sold in canada made in 80s-90s for usa market but couldnt be imported from china and sat in a factory for 20 years and are being sold for 80usd new but people say they jam etc some say they are amazing
I wonder what makes one of these that much more accurate than say a lithgow or anshutz
Controlled round feed has a lot to do with it
They forge US currency into barrels
Vudoo use an inhouse ACE cut rifled stainless or Bartlein cut rifled barrel with a Lapua match cut chamber. Feed them anything Nammo Inc (Lapua/SK) and they love it. Controlled feed and that bolt help a lot too.
@@dannyryan1206 and would that be that much of a challenge for say a CZ to do that priced around 1200? i just don't know all these fine details when i comes to ultra precise rimfires.
You get whatcha pay for guys.
I have a 10/22 i put some parts on and a barrel its pretty good for the 350 -400 ish i got into it. I can only imagine what shooting something of this quality is like.
I’ll keep my savage Mark ii FV-SR. I can get groups under a half inch and 100 yards once the barrel is warm. I shoot a lot though. Boyd’s stock and a Nikon scope are it’s only mods.
What a rifle! I'll never own one, but I can enjoy it through you. Thanks for that. Carry on.
What someone wrote about a better bench, one that doesn't move... yeah, you need concrete or a honkin' heavy solid wooden one.
8:05 wait what's going on here the paper he shot and the one with the caliper measuring it aren't the same.
You are correct!
I saw that too
Editing 🤣
@@alabamaoutdoors4468 it's a totally different group if it was me I would show the same target as I just shot. I know this guy is a crack shot and wouldn't need to cheat but it's just unbecoming imo
@@library_dork1321 too true
My just bought Bergara B14r steel barrel precision 22lr rifle total cost with all taxes and fees and needed add ons:
Rifle OTD: $1030
Made in USA 20 MOA base and rings $96
Optics: 6-24×50 $363
4 extra OEM mags $158
DIY trigger job: $15
Total cost
to begin shooting: $1662
And I will be a very capable and serious contender in the Factory class od 22lr BR or in steel challenge matches.
22lr rimfire rifles like the Voodoo and Rim-X are awesome superbly accurate rifles but 9/10 people wishing to compete in 22lr and be competitive we just can't justify let alone afford to spend over $2500-$3k on just a rifle that has essentially no other use but competitive shooting
But for about 1/3 the cost (and admittedly alot of ammo sorting) I can achieve 90-95% of the accuracy of a Voodoo and do great in Factory class and steel challenge matches
I say this because I've seen B14r's and CZ 457 MTR's shooting in matches and be 90-95% as accurate as a VOODOO
Now if you are wanting to compete in the unlimited class then that 5-10% extra accuracy does make the difference
But like most of precision shooting be it archery HG or rifle it's much more the shooter than what's being shot.
An accomplished experienced competitive marksman (especially in high wind conditions) will with my 100% stock B1Rr with a basic scope easily outshoot a less experienced shooter using the best rifle and Optics money can buy.
Money can buy you only so much accuracy and certainly not enough on its own turn a mediocer shot into a good one or a good shooter into a great one. All high dollar rifles optics and ammo do is allow you to be the best you can be
Weather that best is mediocer or a serious contender is strictly and solely up to the individual themselves.
With the correct ammo I've seen first hand more than one stock steel barreled B14r shot in the mid to low 0.2's at 50 yards.
.22 cal is my fav. I have a Henry pump octagonal barrel rifle with a cheap but very good Scorpion scope. I consistently hit gophers at 100 yds. They are no bigger than a Coke can. I'm using hollow points travelling at 1260 fps and they are very lethal. Cheap and rewarding entertainment. I never before heard of shooting 22 lr at 1000 yds. That seems impossible. Good video. Thanks.
For that money I better see one hole. Last week my grandson was shooting sub .4 inch holes at 50 yds with a 10/22 takedown with a volquartson barrel (best being sub .3 for a 10 round group). Oh, and he had to shoot off 2x4 blocks because they wouldn't
allow using sandbags due to Covid restrictions (can't clean the bags between shooters).
.here's a tip -- buy bulk ammo , separate each cartridge by weight. the only thing that really varies is powder charge. it's been my experience that cartridges that weigh the same eliminates flyers. somewhat time consuming but really effective.
I never see cz rifles on your channel, any particular reason I’m missing??
He will never answer your questions!
Great video... Just to say, that the dual opossed lugs in the middle of the bolt, isn't new, nor a Vodoo design, just check de Ruger 77/22 massive locking lugs...
Yep Ruger got it right 20 years ago. Seems to be an expensive ruger ish copy
Have you tried a Winchester 52?
Well Have you Dave?
Ordered one 13 weeks ago. Called two days ago and was told. Looks like another three weeks.
I laughed when he said "the wind is kickin'"
Brother, come shoot in eastern idaho where the average calm day is 5-10mph!
I feel ya there.
You mean 30 mph gentle breeze.
Wow bro we get it, it's windy where you live no one cares
Plinkster I got something that you need to make a video on. Its a .22 barrel that screws in the place of a breach plug of a Knight Muzzle Loader. The .22 barrel insert is made of stainless and I think perhaps by Green Mtn?? Id have to look as its been a while since I even looked. And came with a bolt and was also sold by Knight for their Wolverine. It was before the days of Knight magnums. 20 years ago I could shoot the eyes out of squirrels off hand at 50 yards with a cheap fixed power 4x32 Simmons. I too am in Tn. Close to Morgan Anderson Cambell line. If you interested let me know id be glad to let you try it out. Or we could have a little contest :) Im sure others have them but I haven't found one online. Nor can I find out how many was made.
I have a Marlin Model 60 that will do that...well sometimes...I did it once...🤓
Big D remember he’s talking bolt action here. 😁 We do love our Model 60!
Marlin XT 22 is good too
I have improved my accuracy tremendously by going to one-shot groups.
I use a Marlin 880 sq The Squirrel rifle it’s a .22 long rifle bolt action 10 round clip squirrel killer.its a heavy barrel.
How do you do the Vudoo, you do do, so well?
