Default 20 Vartarg - Plan A didn't work

I posted a thread on the "project guns" board about a 20 Vartarg that Bob Green built for me. First, it is an incredibly accurate gun and Bob did fantastic work. Unfortunately, it won't feed so back to square one.

Adam Bentley hit the nail on the head when he posted that the cartridge's AOL isn't long enough to hit the feed ramp correctly.

So off to Bob it goes again to be re-barreled to a TAC-20 with another Lilja barrel.

I have components to have Bob put together another 20 Vartarg, and would like input from you guys as to whether you think what I am looking at will work.

The new build will have the following:
  • Stiller Predator action.
  • 22" Lilja barrel with Remington Varmint contour. Taken off the original build.
  • PSV002-30 HS Precision Rem 700 Sendero SA BDL Stock.
  • BDL bottom metal.
  • .221 Fireball box, spring and follower.
  • Rifle Basix trigger.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Default 20 VT Plan A didn't work

With the 221 box and components it should feed the 20VT. I can only get two round to feed out of my 204 box/magazine. A re-worked Howa 1500 that was a 204. Green did the work and it shots great, other than it is basically a single shot. One day I will come on a CZ or something with the 221 box and then most likely have a repeater in the 20VT or 20 SCC. Green should be able to tell you if your preposed set up will feed, etc. Bill K

Bob Green built me one with similar components and it feeds very well. I based it on a build Adam did on a Stiller action. I think it will work. Call Bob and talk with him about it.

Stiller Action
221 Fireball Magazine, follower and spring
Remington Classis stock
Jewell trigger
Lilja #4 barrel
