So we all know I am getting a Vudoo Three60 for a 50th Birthday present (along with a Bison Hunt AND a PSA test AND a coloscopy so don't getting all jealous! There are ups and downs! ) Anyways... It posed to me to start a thread of the whys, hows, and whatfors so I though I would start with the gear I have or is definitely inbound and breakdown my choices and why I chose what. Lets begin...
The Vudoo Ravage...
So the Ravage line is Vudoo's adjustable stock rifles (The Apparition is there chassis line) while the Sinister is a traditional hunting stock and the Crow is for the wee ones. It matters not but I do find myself liking stocks more these days and the M-Lok rails are nice for adding bits like weights, QD cups, and the such. I could have gone with a Grayboe Renegade but I like the butt hook better on the Ridgeback, nothing more. As for why I chose the Vudoo? It is a done deal and ready to rock. More on that in a moment but If I had a lathe and liked to experiment I would have gone with the RimX as it runs a Remage style action (R700 action with a Savage style barrel nut for head spacing). A friend of mine has gone that route I get why. He is currently spinning up a straight taper 1:10 to 1:11 gain twist barrel and has the ability to cut from the bore end to speed up the twist when the bullet leaves or from the chamber end to speed up when the bullet starts. He is also running handloaded 42gr solid copper spire points. This is all beyond me of course. I just want to shoot off the shelf stuff so a single point rifled 1:16 is just fine. As for the action itself... I'll let the designer Mike Bush explain...
