I have zero experience with a 17 anything (other than HMR) but I have been getting my butt kicked on my short wildcat and researching anything to help.
Of that searching I found that PTG makes (made?) coned 700 bolts this allows you to cone the barrel to match the bolt thus giving you a better feed cone into the chamber as well as allowing the fired case to ride the wall longer and have a better chance of clearing the ejection port before falling off into the action.
Some other honerable mentions would be Howa's new mini action. One guy on here made his 5.7 spitwad or something of that sort based off a shortened 30 carbine case and he managed to get it to cycle well.
Then there are the CZ's mentioned
One last option abit maybe less desireable is to make a straight pull bolt action off the AR 15 platform. The aftermarket support is unreal and you can build one like a chassis rifle.
