I have been looking at a similar project. I am looking at the controlled feed option on the defiance deviant, it seems like that would get rid of some of the issues with the Remington type setup. Another issue with a repeater is finding a mag-box follower and spring, and Remington actions for donors are not cheap ! I recently found a 221 FB classic that was reasonable compared to current prices but more than I would have paid a couple of years ago. I also recently talked to Wyatt Outdoors about setting me up with the shortest setup they can make with their current follower and spring with the plan to test it in the 221 FB for function. Only issue there is it will be several months before he orders parts again to make another batch.

If wanting a repeater I bet a guy could block the back out on a 223 mag box and use a centerfeed follower or a centerfeed mag detachable mag box if somebody makes one would work as a repeater. I read an article few years ago I believe it was how Mike Bryant got a 6BR case to feed.
A Defiance Tenacity or Kelbys Atlas are as about a cheap of a " custom " action you can get. I'm done working in 700's fixing there primary extraction and bush bolt problems, by the time you do it anymore you've got the same into a Tenacity. If your into bolt timing and pin fall a Tenacity is about as cheap as option there is the next step up would be a BAT igniter I may have to some day. |

Did you already have it chambered and shooting as a 20 Vartarg before sending off for nitride? What magazine are you using and does it feed reliably?

What are you planning on doing with it? Sitting in one location shooting praire dogs? walk around varmint rifle? strictly target rifle?
If it’s varminting anything then hard to beat a cz527. If you want to spend a bunch of money then ARC archmedias action, Krieger barrel then whatever stock and trigger that floats your boat. Ultimate 20Vartag for me would be a slicked up interarms mini Mauser stocked by Duane weibe. 22” barrel with quarter rib, banded front sight, with a 3.5-10 leupold on top in jp smithson rings and bases. |

I think you will find that most people shooting at a rat field are loading single shot, it is not a problem to do so, no hindrance at all.
