Any precision 22 shooters in here?

Anyone have any experience with a RimX action or Vudoo or anything similar?

I've been shooting rimfire PRS for 2.5 years. I shoot a CZ 457 with a Lilja barrel, and I shoot with other guys that shoot Bergara, Vudoo, and RimX.

I love my CZ's and my misses are my fault not the guns. I also have a CZ 457 MTR that I sometimes use in matches. Bergara, Vudoo, and RimX are all Rem 700 pattern so the aftermarket is wide open for them. You are a little more limited with CZ.

Any other questions just ask

high end bullets, or quality reloads, are mandatory.....

I didn’t see where CZ offers a barreled action. Does it matter which model you start with? Are all the actions/receivers the same? Did you do the barrel swap yourself or take it to a shop?

High quality ammo. I shot a semi-custom match Anschutz.

In the mid 2000’s I shot in several local IR 50/50 benchrest matches. I participated in the factory class and used a Sako P94 Finnfire, glass & pillar bedded factory stock, Jewell 2 ounce trigger, and Lilja barrel. In rimfire, it’s all about finding the right lot of ammunition that shoots tiny holes with your rifle.

You can easily spend $5,000 on a custom build. My advice, find a very nice used rifle for $750-$1200 and learn how to shoot and read the wind from this rifle. As noted above, a CZ 457 can be very competitive at an entry level price. Anschutz and Sako Finnfire rifles can be found online.

Edit: Here’s a great starter rifle

I’m shooting 1/4” groups @ 50yds with SK Standard+ and Lapua Center-X

Really? I can probably do the same with my 1984 Marlin Model 60. I shoot squirrels in the head with stock ammo.

Have you looked at pcp air rifles? They are amazingly accurate. I’m putting 5 shots with my dirty thirty at 50 yards inside a dime. You can also get fully automatic pcp air rifles like the Hatsan blitz that will put a smile on your face.

I'm sure you can do it with irons sight and shooting free hand?

Any difference in the three, as in accuracy ?

It comes down to the barrel. RimX doesn't make a factory barreled action so those are all custom setups, but Bergara and Vudoo do offer factory setups.

The factory barreled setups do have some variation. If you are going custom, I don't think it matters that much on which action you start with. In the matches that I shoot in their will be custom guns from all three brands. Sometimes the guy with the Bergara wins, sometimes it's the RimX, and other times it's the Vudoo.

There are some differences with functionality. RimX requires some time to dial in the mag because of the way it feeds the rounds.

TLDR: If you go custom, I don't see a difference between the 3 brands. I would list Vudoo factory setups above a Bergara factory setup.
