17 Fireball action

[L1986]

Is there a certain custom action you guys think would work best for a 17 fireball? It would be a single shot bench only gun for prairie dogs. I've thought on the likes of a sako or cz but if you were going to go with a custom action which one would it be for this case and why?

A true FIREBALL action to eject the case properly, and that's why. You can always barrel it to your liking...

If you could find a Wasatch that would be ideal, they are .500" shorter than a model 7.

Given that they are out of production, get yourself a model 7 or a 700 with a Sako extractor, my 700 extracts that little fireball case no problem.

Thanks for the replies guys. I know a 700 that was a fireball cartridge will work but I'm wandering if a custom action is out there that would also work well? Like a Bat SV or other smaller action? I would prefer a RB LP configuration and you can't get there without going custom. Another thought is if anyone has ever tried a drop port with the fireball case?

I dont have an answer, but i am positive a custom action maker can make what you want with a bolt face for it..

Pierce or Stiller single shot.
