I have a vudoo V22S shoot impressively good Flavio fare trigger is the best I try so far. so vudoo remains good option for me. I see on rimfire central folks provide the link to major league in us to look at equipment they use.
have a look that give a good idea of what best shooters used and barrel choice is also interesting.

I can't speak for the 2500X I never had a chance to try it yet but definitively look like a great action.

I can very much see myself with a RimX-based build. I really get strong urges watching the promo videos for that action. I do my best to avoid them. lol I only have a vague sense of what the action costs, but would be interested in knowing what kind of price range one could expect.
What's the purpose of this "ultimate rimfire"?
Vudoo makes two models, one of which, the V22S single shot, is specifically for benchrest shooting. The Vudoo V22 repeater, like the RimX, is more for PRS and similar disciplines of shooting. If someone was to build (or rather have someone else build it for him), the basic receiver of either make would unlikely be the determining factor in accuracy, if that's the ultimate goal. The choice of barrel would be a bigger factor for the rifle itself. But there's no reason why one should necessarily be a better shooter than the other.
What does this mean?
Vudoo makes three different actions. The single shot, the repeater and the three lug 360. As Glenn has asked, your intended purpose for this gun would point the direction of this build to go. Try to handle or use as many different ones you can. One may prove more to your liking than others. Good luck
Like SigP226, I have a Vudoo V22S ( single shot ). I have had many higher end rimfire rifles in my life and can tell you that as a bench rest rifle this single shot barreleld action, installed in a good stock, makes for an extremely accurate rig. The Vudoo is built like a tank and very high quality.

Go big tactical had the price listed. Not sure if thats how they got their business name or not lol but they are not cheap. Nothing on their site is really. Im always scared to open their emails lol
I believe a Voodoo barreled action is $2500+. Overall, the custom 22 options cost the same as building a custom centerfire. Same stock, triggers, optics etc. If benchrest is not your intended use, the limitation from other shooting positions is the barrel/chamber on an otherwise unremarkable 22LR. I’m going to put an aftermarket barrel on my T1X. Top end custom stuff is really nice, but comparing apples to apples 10 rnd+ groups, the ammunition is the problem in 22LR.
Not for competition. Just a general plinker and hunting rifle. Just want a dependable repeatable accurate rifle that i will always enjoy using
Unless you have $$$ to burn, get a CZ or a Tikka 1X. I put a Yo Dave spring in my T1X and it made the trigger even better. Find a stock/chassis that you like. Buy cases of ammunition (CCISV works for me) and enjoy. You can afford to shoot thousands of 22LR a year, for the extra cost of a custom 22.
If your intended purpose is plinking and hunting you would be much better off with a CZ457 or T1X. I am a RimX owner, and while it is a fantastically accurate PRS trainer, it can at times be very tempermental.
The cost is something also to factor in, a barrelled action with one magazine will run you $2,675, plus a trigger, plus a chassis. It all adds up very quickly.
Go Big Tactical has a very nice CZ in manners stocks with upgraded barrel or just a CZ457 in a KRG Bravo chassis. You can also find the CZ457 precision trainer at places like Tesro that come in a Manners stock for a reasonable price.

Since your goals are relatively modest when it comes to expensive .22 rimfire rifles, it seems excessive to "build the ultimate rimfire" for general plinking and hunting. You can get a very good rifle other than a Vudoo or RimX for a lot less money that will be more than adequate enough for target shooting, plinking, and hunting. There are a lot of less expensive yet very dependable rifles that will give repeatable accuracy for a lifetime of shooting.
It's worth remembering that regardless of what the rifle is -- Vudoo, RimX, or something similarly expensive -- accuracy ultimately depends on using the most suitable ammo for the rifle. No rifle will outshoot the ammo it's given. No one getting a Vudoo or RimX or something similar should expect to shoot inexpensive ammo and get stellar results. Furthermore, no one should expect to get great results with random lots of match ammo. Finding the right ammo is the most difficult component of the equation to figure out, no matter what rifle is chosen.
I have own a CZ 457 MTR in a MDT ACC with all the trigger work done to. It shot great. It not as good as my Rim X. I own a Rim X and have shot several voodo’s the biggest difference between the two I have found is that the flat bolt face on the RimX. This means anybody can change there own barrels. No need for a gunsmiths to time the barrel for the extractor. In Less then 5 minutes I can go from 20” 1-16 twist barrel to my 24” 1-9 twist barrel for eld shooting.
It all comes down to how much you want to spend and what you want to do with it.
The biggest thing I think every body misses is just go out and enjoy yourself. Nobody is promised tomorrow and if the Liberals get back in who knows how long we can go out and enjoy ourselves.
Seems that a CZ 457 with a Lilja barrel and Eley Match are a decent combo. Start wth the CZ Synthetic, add the barrel, and mount in a MDT XRS chassis and you'd have essentially the same setup as the shooter in the videos below for less money than a 700-based footprint rifle setup.
