20 VT Dakota Arms

[AHunter21]

Hello everyone. New to this forum. Need advise. My Friend is getting rid of his Dakota Arms 20 Vartarg. He bought it new but never used it bc at the time he didn’t know you couldn’t get factory loads. Would appreciate everyone’s feedback on this Dakota Arms. Yay or Nay?
Does anyone have loads I can buy? Eventually I’ll research on doing my own loads.

PM his asking and particulars on this rifle along with contact.
I may be able to save you much grief.

If you don't buy that rifle, let us know, as I'd be interested too.
But as you asked...Dakota? Hell yes! Big Yay.
HSM at one time sold loaded 20VT ammo, you may want to check that out.

Rick if you buy this you could always sell me your Cooper 38 20 Vartarg!

You're being a very silly boy today there Hillbilly!

I'm thinking about adding another 20VT to the rat battery. I've got a Sako L461 Vixen currently wearing a 17M4 Shilen barrel. I'm falling out of love with the M4 caliber, so contemplating re-barreling to 20VT.

I may have Redding Comp seater and bushing die set for the M4 and and beaucoup .17 cal bullets available soon if anyone has early interest.

Rick i was just kidding. I knew you would not let go of the little Cooper 38 model in 20 Vartarg!

I know. I got a good chuckle when I read that, so it's all good.

How has this Dakota arms 20 VT rifle worked out for you. Just spotted this data when searching for some n133 data. Thought this may still be of interest?

Got 14 Dakota Varminters in various 20, 22 & 6mm calibers and they are the best ever for me.

Rick, if I may ask, what do you not like about the 17M4? I just bought a Cooper 21 in that caliber and plan to take it PD hunting in June for the first time. I did get some pierced primers before finding out that I should not use regular small rifle, but magnum primers instead...

Remington 7 1/2 should also work.
