I have a Ruger no 1 with custom barrel and wood
Chambered for 20 tac
Barrel is a benchmark
Pm for details
Is not a cheap rifle

Is the Sako 461 long enough for the .20 Tac?

It's based off the. 223 Remington so any action that will accommodate it will work for the TAC .20. I have a custom CZ 527 American TAC .20 that started life as a .223.

Yes it’s just a 223 length
And the 461s were chambered in the 222
Rem mag so they fit 223 real nice
Should accommodate a 204 also

20 Practical is a better choice . It is easily made by a single pass through a 223 Redding bushing FL sizing die with the right sized bushing . Ballistics are the same . Advantage of being able to use cheap 223 brass. Check out 6BR Forums about it .

20 tactical is also made from 1 pass of the sizing die and then fire formed from the .223/556 brass but thanks for the recommendation!
