HS, you have used many 20 cal bbls with the 20VT. How does the X-Caliber barrel compare? Do you have a preference when it comes to 20 cal bbls and if so which ones and why? Thanks!! CZ

I have used almost every 20 caliber barrel out there when it comes to a 20 Vartarg and Hart has been my go to barrel for 20 Vartarg builds. This new Xcaliber barrel is doing very well shooting well under 1/2 inch groups and most around 3/8 MOA. Hart is still my go to source for a really good 20 caliber barrel that shoots well and cleans easy. Xcaliber I think is making a good barrel for alittle less money. I have another Xcaliber 20 Vartarg to chamber up and we will see how it works out.

Three Xcaliber 11 twist 3 Groove barrels have been chambered in 20 Vartarg and they all are shooting very well. 1/4 to 3/8 with the best loads. Xcaliber is making a very good 20 caliber barrel right now.

Im going to build myself another wonderful 20 Vartarg on a Remington 700 action. I always make the Remingtons single shot varmint rifles. I have a Rock Creek barrel on my current 20 TAC and i may try another Rock Creek for this build. I have Two 20 Vartargs at the moment. One is CZ 527 with Xcaliber barrel and the other a Interarms mini mauser with Hart barrel. The 20 Vartarg is my all time absolute Favorite for Eastern Groundhogs!

Just finished barreling me another 20 Vartarg. This time with a Rock Creek HV 24 Stainless tube on a Rem 700 Action. Used a JGS Reamer specd for Lapua Brass. Bedding into HS Precision Stock tonight. I will report back once i shoot it. Should be like all other 20 Vartargs Absolute Tack Driver!

I have a new Hart barrel blank just show up. Remington Varmint contour 12 twist. It may become a future 20 Vartarg.

What bullet weight are you planning on shooting with that? The reason I ask is that seems a little slow but then my next one (another 20 Extreme) will be set up to shoot the 55 grain Bergers so will be going with an eight twist. |

If the barrel is a True 12 twist it will shoot bullets from 32-40 grain with great precision. Im talking 1/4 MOA. Hart makes a Fine 20 caliber barrel and i always just use a 12 twist for my builds.

Ok. I have a 20 Extreme with a 10 twist Benchmark barrel that shoots 40 grain V-Max lights out good with H 4198 but it won't work with the 55 grain.
I get fantastic results with the 55 grain Bergers and 8208 XBR in the other gun that has an 8 twist Bob Jury barrel on it. Pretty good results with a 40 grain in that one too but the 32's just didn't work out. It was set up for a heavy coyote gun so didn't really play much with lighter bullets on it. |
