IBI Deuce 2.0

The IBI Deuce 2.0 is a premium .22 LR bolt-action receiver manufactured in Chilliwack, British Columbia, by IBI Precision Systems (International Barrels Inc.). Re-engineered from the ground up as an evolution of the earlier Ultimatum Deuce, it is purpose-built for high-end precision rimfire competition, specifically PRS Rimfire and NRL22.

Core Specifications & Architecture

  • Footprint: Standard Remington 700 short-action footprint, allowing it to drop into standard centerfire competition chassis and stocks (e.g., MDT, Foundation, KRG, MPA).
  • Bolt Design: 3-lug bolt head with a short 60° bolt throw for rapid cycling without interfering with low-mounted optics. It features redesigned cocking cam angles and internal springs to reduce bolt-close effort.
  • Controlled-Round Feed with Snap-Over: Combines controlled-round feeding from the magazine with the ability to single-load directly into the chamber, snapping over the case rim without damaging the extractor.
  • Heavy Extraction: Outfitted with an oversized extractor claw engineered to reliably remove tight, unfired match-chambered rimfire rounds.
  • Optic Mounting: Ships with an integrated or pinned 30 MOA top rail to provide sufficient elevation travel for long-range .22 LR engagements (out past 300 meters).
  • Finish Options: Black Nitride or Tumbled Stainless.

Key Distinguishing Features

  • User-Adjustable Headspace: The Deuce 2.0 accommodates IBI’s barrel nut prefit system. This allows shooters to easily swap barrels with basic tools and micro-adjust headspace to match specific rim thicknesses across different match ammunition lots (e.g., SK, Lapua, Eley). It can also accept standard shouldered prefit barrels.
  • Remington 700 Trigger Hanger: Uses a dedicated trigger hanger compatible with most Remington 700 aftermarket triggers (Bix'n Andy, TriggerTech, Timney), simplifying installation, timing, and field cleaning.
  • Magazine Compatibility: Accepts standard AICS-pattern rimfire magazines (such as Bergara, Vudoo, or MDT rimfire magazines).

Primary Use Case

The Deuce 2.0 serves shooters moving past production platforms (like the CZ 457 or Ruger American) who want a rifle that matches the ergonomics, weight distribution, trigger pull, and bolt manipulation of a full-size centerfire match rifle.

Reviews

The idea

Was looking to make something out of a metal.
Though making a weight that would reach the bottom level of the Arca Rail would replace the idea of using a Gamer Plate or some of the side extensions like the MDT Baker wings.

Rounding the edges, I though the finish would be nicer than just a chamfer.

End results

Well this is the end result.

Widens the base of the chassis, makes it more comfortable hold.

Being inline with the Arca base, make the surface wider for resting on bags.

1 / 2

It make the base of the rifle chassis wider.

  • The width does make it more comfortable to hold off hand. Wider weight distribution for heavier rifles.
  • Angles add a place for fingers to rest on
    • Top angle acts like a thumb rest to push against.

I’ll try them, but probably would want to make them thicker, some where between 15 - 20mm i think would be better.

The Vudoo V-22 is a .22 LR bolt-action repeater built by Vudoo Gun Works in St. George, Utah. Released in 2017, it was the action that effectively created the modern precision rimfire category: a rimfire receiver built on a centerfire footprint so shooters could train on the same chassis, trigger, and optic setup they run in PRS and NRL competition.

Core specifications and architecture

  • Footprint: Remington 700 short-action pattern, so it drops into standard centerfire chassis and stocks (MPA, MDT, Foundation, KRG, Magpul Pro 700).
  • Magazine: Proprietary 10-round rimfire magazine with the same external form factor as an AICS magazine, using controlled-round feed.
  • Trigger: Accepts most Remington 700 pattern triggers. TriggerTech (including the Diamond) and Bix'n Andy are the common choices.
  • Chamber: The RAVAGE match chamber, designed by Mike Bush, is cut for high-quality match ammunition and seats the bullet into the lands on bolt close.
  • Barrel options: Vudoo's in-house Ace barrel, with Bartlein and Krieger offered as upgrades. Typical lengths run 16.5" to 20", with muzzle threading optional.
  • Optic mounting: Ships with a 30 MOA base, standard for long-range rimfire work past 200 yards.
  • Finish: Black or Cerakote, with FDE a popular pairing against chassis colors.

Key distinguishing features

  • Controlled-round feed in rimfire: Getting a .22 LR cartridge to feed reliably under control is the hard engineering problem the V-22 solved. Ejection is positive and feeding is consistent from the magazine.
  • Centerfire ergonomics: Weight, balance, bolt manipulation, and trigger reach mirror a full-size match rifle. A completed V-22 build typically lands in the 14 to 15 lb range with optics, roughly the same as a 6.5mm Creedmoor competition rifle.
  • Ecosystem compatibility: Because the footprint is Remington 700, the aftermarket is already solved. No specialty rimfire chassis required.
  • Accuracy: Well-documented sub-MOA performance at 50 yards with Lapua Center-X, Midas+, and SK match ammunition. CCI Standard Velocity performs surprisingly well for the money.

Family members

  • V-22: The original repeater action and barreled action.
  • V-22S: A single-shot variant aimed at target and benchrest shooters.

Primary use case

The V-22 serves shooters moving past production rimfire platforms like the CZ 457 or Ruger American who want a trainer that behaves identically to their centerfire match rifle. If budget is the constraint, a CZ 457 Precision Trainer delivers most of the practical accuracy for about a third of the cost. If the goal is a platform with no compromises and full chassis and trigger freedom, the V-22 is the benchmark the rest of the category is measured against.

⚠️ Current status
Vudoo Gun Works has been through ownership and operational turbulence in recent years, with reports of the business closing its doors circulating in 2025 and the brand continuing to list rifles since. Anyone shopping a V-22 today should confirm current warranty, spare parts, and magazine availability before committing.
The V22 is not sold anymore, only the 360 barrelled action is being sold.
