A LH Sinister has come to live with me. I'll take it out tomorrow or Saturday to warm it up.

Aren't they a piece of work? Mike B sure designed, engineered and produced an outstanding winner to the bolt gun rimfire market. His attention to detail of adding many small details into one is what makes it so unique. Hell of a mind and hell of a person with a big heart!!!!! Thank You Mike B. for your outstanding contribution!

Thanks all. I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time behind it. I am very impressed with the fit, finish and attention to detail on this rifle.

I'm jealous, great looking rifle. Thinking if I'd spring for one, the Sinister would be it.
Which barrel contour & length? And.... the bolt knob looks different from their offerings?

I don't mind you asking but I'm not sure I can recall off the top of my head. I'm sure a visit to their website might solve this mystery.

I did check their site several days ago. May have overlooked it but did not see it. No problem, thought someone here might know.
Thanks Dave

I believe they do their own barrels, and call it an ACE barrel, or you can order a Bartlein also. Mine is the Vudoo factory ACE. Shoots great.

What barrel makes are available? We primarily use our own Vudoo barrel we call the Ace, however we stock Bartlein and Krieger too. We are working with other manufactures too, such as Proof Research and will make an announcement as it and others are available.
Off their webpage

The only thing I saw is that they use premium barrels from the top barrel makers. That may have changed and they brought their barrels in-house but I would be surprised if they can do better barrels than the alpha barrel makers. I'll call them this week and inquire.

I spoke with Vudoo this afternoon and it was confirmed their barrels are made by a company called "Ace Barrels". It's a small boutique operation out of the Seattle, WA area. I was told they consistently outshoot the other major barrels they tested (Bartlein, Kreiger among others) and they are very pleased with the performance this barrel provides.
