Pretty Impressed.

What a great little cartridge the 20 Vartarg is. No recoil, nasty on varmints and very accurate. Had good conditions yesterday and shot two nice 5 shot, 100 yard groups. 35 gr bergers.

A buddy has one. Just like a mini PPC. He has shot several groups in the 1's. Great shooting on your part.

Its a Savage PTA, X-caliber barrel, SSS stock. No matches for me. Just like shooting small groups, steel, and varmints.

Purty rifle. Very nice shooting, too.

Did you shoot those groups off bipod? Very nice either way, but doubly impressive if off the bipod. Just curious

 

[Sniper338]

Its on my list to build... thatd make me happy too!

No, off a rest. Have shot pretty small off a bipod though

Shot a buddy's XP-100 in the spring. They are nice shooting. My other buddy has an XP-100 build going on right now. I had a large lot of police range .223 brass so I formed him a bunch of .221 fireball cases and shipped them to him. He has the necks uniformed and is on pins and needles waiting for the machine work to be finished. Those really are sweet. What powder did you use?

Nice shooting.

Thanks. H4198 and Lapua brass.

This is my .20 Vartarg, I couldn't be happier with it.


This is a 5 shot group at 100 yds.

Those 35 grain Bergers are awesome in the 20VT. My Cooper has shot a few groups like yours, but typically they are in the .3 inch range. What powder charge of 4198 did you find that worked the best?

JohnW - beautiful rifle. You should give us some details. Love the stock.

 

[waterfwlr]

18.3 gr. The 32 vmax shoots well too, just not as good as those Bergers.

Nice rifle JohnW.

Awesome groups! Especially for a "parts bin" rifle. I've seen plenty of full-tilt custom jobs that couldn't beat your gun. Congrats!

John,

That is a beauty. We need the scoop. Man your back yard is steep. Lol.

Nah, it's just a 120 MOA bench...
