20 VT Build ...Feeding/ejection

What am I missing... could you clarify the difference. It is my understanding that the location of extractor was slightly different for rifles chambered in 221 Fireball to facilitate extraction of the shorter case or at least in the Rem 700 Light Varmint (early 2000's). Both the .222 and 300 blackout bolt setup is the same as .223.

Thanks

Gunslinger is starting with a 22-250 action. You'll need a different bolt, block the mag box,relocate the ejector, said something about installing Sako extractor. I'm not sure if the feed rails are the same or start with a action already set up for .221.

Hal - thanks. I totally ignored all the other issues around the 22-250 conversion and just locked on the ejector challenge. Agree that starting with rifle better kitted out for 221 Fireball will save cost, time, and heartburn.
 
Howdy Boys and Girls,

Started out w a Remington 700 SA chambered in 22-250.

I am re-barreling to a 20VT.

What am I going to need to do for it to feed and eject?

Thank you in advance for the help.

Best
Tim

You will need a Pacific Tool & Gauge 20 VarTarg Followler(pictured below), Remington F300557 Mag. Spring and Remington F300560 Mag. Assembly. The main item you will need is a bolt from a 221FB or 300BO do to the position of the ejector plunger on the bolt face. With the std 700 small bolt face receiver(non 221FB) when you pull the bolt backwards the case tends to fall off the face, just kind of "humps up and lays there"
