20vt / 221 fireball options

[roband]

I’m seeing all this interest. I have a Sako
A-1 that Greg Tannel through the kitchen sink to. It’s a 20VT 232 neck. I’ve shot it very little(less than 100 rounds). PM me if you have any interest. Will list it soon otherwise.

How did it shoot? Ihave a Tannel built T20 that's a hammer.

FWIW
I have 2 - Mini Howa's being rebarreled at Shaw Barrel currently , they should be back soon ,
1 in .17 Fireball and 1 in .221 Fireball , I should have done a .20 Vartarg right away also .

Brownells often has the Howa mini barreled actions on sale .

I plan on doing the Johnson Outdoor bottom metal , JO does regular runs on bottom metal , just hit the let me know button on the bottom metal you want .
Be forewarned a custom rifle does not have an easy button , figure at least a year , min , from start to finish .
I did a set of customized Rem 40X in left hand ( including a .17 Fb and a .221 FB , just ordered a .20VT barrel for another action I have ) , because of shipping damage it was close to 2 yrs before I had the .204 in my hands

Oh yeah, I've had 6br's and 30br's take awhile. Everything for this build it's pretty much readily available as far as parts are concerned except for that CZ bottom metal from Jefferson outdoors. I am on the notification list. Probably end up with a wilson barrel blank or maybe a Douglass. I've never tried Douglas. Might put a WTB ad on here as well for the bottom metal and see what happens. Let us know how everything turns out!

I’d like see one around local shops just to see if they would feed…I was assured they would- by word of mouth- no experience on my end-

Buddy got a 204,& 223 -527 & they feed my case flawless.. even if ya stagger the cases in the mag- one all way foward-backwards-

I have a Christensen Arms complete carbon fiber 223 scout- I “could” make single shot out of.. defeats purpose though..kinda

Gabe is right on this. I have a cz223 lux that am starting to get things together to convert to 20vt. I have some dummy rounds for 20vt made and loaded them into the rifle. Cycled perfectly as Gabe mentioned. I would like to get the 221fb bottom metal and mag but for now this works perfectly. Was really surprised how well it cycled.
I actually would love a cooper single shot but haven’t seen any for sale so this might be a good alternative
