Will a Sako Vixen Action Feed 20 vartarg?

Post by Neil S. »

I am trying to decide which action to use for a repeater 20 vartarg. I am looking hard at the cz 527, but it seems that I could buy a Sako Vixen for a couple hundred more. Any experience with this action? Any pros or cons for either action? (I think I can live with the backwards safety on the cz :lol: ). Help appreciated!

Many rebarreled M700's won't feed the FB case relialably unless the donor gun for a 20VT was originally a 221FB or 17FB, so you may have to use a magazine block, but otherwise it should feed okay once some dinking about was done.
