How about Pacnor or Hart doing a complete 20 Vartarg barreled action?

[NeilA.]

Another option is Benchmark. I have always been happy with their work and quality.

I have 3 Pac-Nor barrels all with a 1 in 11 twist. 20 VT and {2} 20
practical, re-chambered to 20-223 AI's. All are very accurate, and
pac-nor service was out standing.

His prices are within line of most anyone else, also. Decent turnaround time and very neat/clean workmanship. Bill K

I have had PacNor do a 17FB for me that is a great shooter. I would ask them about the reamer and see what they say. I would not be afraid of them doing the work.
On the flip side I have had Bob Green build me a half dozen rifles, including my 20VT. I have a friend that has had 4 or 5 built by him now. They are all capable of more accuracy than I can wring from them but I do some pretty impressive shooting with them. His turnaround time is way more than reasonable and he will tell you exactly what reamers he has or come up with a plan with you to get the one you want. I can't say enough good things about him and his work.

Yes, Bob Green is a name I've heard for a long time and would not hesitate to use him if I already had the barrel. It's just this time around I prefer whomever supplies the barrel to do the gunsmithing too. That way if the thing shoots 1.5" groups instead of 1/2" groups, the smith doesn't tell me to contact the barrel maker, and the barrel maker doesn't tell me to contact the smith. One place did the whole job and the buck stops there.....though I concede I've never had a problem.

Thanks again.

Adam Bentley here on the forum built me a 20 vartarg on a model 7 action. His work is great. He has built several for me and not one complaint on my end. All are great shooters.
