That’s a thought. I’ve a 527 Varmint in 17 Hornet already and it’s a great shooter. A guy could get a 17 hornet in a 527 American and looking at the parts list, change out the magazine for the 221 FB, the extractor for a 0.380 bolt face, open up the bolt face and rechamber it to 17 FB and have the perfect walking varminter confirmation. They’ve been made in 22 fb already so it wouldn’t be a big leap to get one up and running. Hmmm. . .
I know I could pull my 204 down but I’m not really interested in doing that.
