I have been looking into either buying or building a small caliber rifle for some time now. The 2 calibers i have been coming back to over and over are a 17 fireball or 1 of the 20 caliber tactical variations. I came across a custom rifle for sale chambered in the 17-222. It has a Shilen 1 in 9 or 8 barrel and is a tight neck chamber. The action is a single shot left port and right bolt Time precision action with a Jewell trigger. Kelbly did the barrel work and Tom of TM stock works bedded the action in a Panda thumbhole stock. Dies and prepped brass goes with it. Rifle was shot vary little and in great shape. Anyone out their shooting 1 or had 1 at one time. I wonder what kind of barrel life to exspect and if their is much data for reloading it. It seems to be a neat little caliber that would be alot of fun for shooting crows and ground hogs with. So guys what is your opinion on this. Thanks....DAN....
