Default Possibly a new tiny action and...

If you haven't heard of Vudoo Gun Works/Mike Bush, you are in for a nice surprise!

This Co. is already known in the rimfire world for bringing out the high quality V22 custom bolt action repeater that works with their proprietary 10 shot rimfire magazines which fit in Accuracy International style detachable bottom metal/DBM. The same DBM's that takes the centerfire 5 and 10 round magazines.

Well guess what, Mike is strongly considering producing a very small/short bolt action repeater for small cartridge cases!!! Think smaller/shorter than Rem M7 and CZ 527, and also possibly developing a new tiny centerfire cartridge for it.

If interested in such a thing like I am, I suggest you call Mike or email him to show interest, and so he knows there is a market for cool little cartridges and appropriate sized actions to fit them.

Just google Vudoo Gun Works so you can get acquainted with his products and his contact info is there too.

And I am not in any way shape or form affiliated with him or his Co, as well as no intent to advertise either.

Is it Vudoo or Voodoo ? Interesting if they would come out with a small, well built action for the 221 fb and smaller type cartridges. Bill K

Steve,

The big hiccup is the action's footprint and its optionality to integrate/utilize other manufacturer's accessories, such as stocks, triggers, bottom metal, etc. Voodoo isn't cheap so if this is a one-off action that needs custom stock inletting that no other manufacturer produces then it is problematic The same goes for all of the other components needed to make a rifle.

We need more information about design, dimensions, compatibility, and price range. Without knowing more, if I was in market to build a custom and based on pricing of Voodoo's other offerings, I would make assumption that it will be expensive (+$1000) for this not-yet-but-maybe Voodoo action. I may as well just go by a Borden Rimrock or Deviant Ultralight.

I guess what I am saying in short is that the reason you aren't getting a big response is because we are still waiting to be shown or told enough details to start asking questions or to get excited about the product,

In todays age of CNC mills, I would think that inletting would be a lot easier to do than previously, so "custom" stocks really shouldn't be a costly item.

Agree. My point was if custom footprint and shorter action size then there is no buying premade stocks and no one will have the schematics (digital cnc file) for cutting the footprint without getting it directly from Voodoo. Added step and cost.

From what I gathered their 22lr action is patterned off the 700 short action setup for AICS DBM. which = very popular and tons o aftermarket support.
