Thread: 20 Practical bolt gun?

Yes, that article inspired me to get mine. Blew a few primers trying to get 4200 though ! Gave that idea up. . . .

Thanks TeRei-yes have read this on the net and it got me all wanting! If only I had a Tikka 595 that needed re-barreling...Guess thats what The Claw did...good on ya. I heard that True Flite are not turing out as good a barrel as they used too and don't know if thats true? Guy at Hamills in Tauranga passed the comment. Guess he is wrong as Redbang & The Claw would not have use True Flite if that was the case?
What primers you using Redbang? CCI br4?

What other barrel makers do we have to choose from in NZ?
What sort of cost does one have to expect to pay, to say rebarrel a 223 to a 20 Practical/204 Ruger/223AI?

4200... ha..I could do that with 40g in my 20 BR!

mind you barrel only lasted 1200 rounds!
