Default 20 Vartarg Builds

I have a number 2 Pacnor barrel i need to get on a CZ 527 and chamber it in a 20 Vartarg. This will be my light weight hunting rifle for Groundhogs, Turkeys, and Predators. My friend also has a Hart number 3 he wants me to chamber in 20 vartarg on a CZ 527. Should make two accurate varmint guns.

Default Go for it!

Sounds like a great build. 20 VT is probably my favorite round. Share pics when you are finished.

I just built a 20vt on a Kreiger barrel 25" long in a heavy varmint. It's a boat anchor but it doesn't move on 24x with the leupold.

Nice. Adam --- I want my 4th vartarg to be built like your last one --- nice and heavy. I will have a very light one on Rem 7, single shot on Ruger no. 3, medium varminter on stolle atlas and then a tank that doesn't move on the bench.

Anxious to see your 20 VT's once they are all finished!
I would have to say that the 20 VT is one of my all time favorites to shoot.

CZ 527 with an HS Precision stock and 4-12 Vortex. Great truck and carry gun. Has been working extremely well since May.

BAT SV with a 1 in 11 Krieger HV and a McMillan McHale. Due from Gre-Tan any day. This will be my long range prairie dog gun.

Default I want to see pictures of these 20 Vartargs I’m reading of.

OK, so I’m 7 months into waiting on a S/S BAT VR repeater action that's going into a Black Manners Elite Hunter MCS-EH1 stock with a Krieger #7 light target 1-12 barrel cut to about 23” and chambered in 20 Vartarg hanging off of it with the whole thing being ignited by an approximately 6 ounce Jewell trigger. As soon as I get this thing put together I will make sure it is completely photographically documented and posted on these pages for everyone to glory in. I hope everything goes smoothly and on schedule. Who knows it may even be ready for an early june Montana prairie dog shoot. Wish me luck.

Dan

I have two of the Vartarg's both built on Remington SA Model 700 actions. The sporter weight is a re-chambered factory .204 Ruger take off and the heavy weight has a Lilja varmint weight barrel. Both have Leupold 4.5-14 scopes with VH reticles. The heavy one has an HS Precision varmint stock and the light weight one has a High Tech Specialties/Bansner stock. They have become my favorite rifles for extended shooting in dog towns and shoot same loads about equally well.
