CZ Scout 455, 17hmr

There is a 455 Varmint in 17hmr with a .22 LR barrel and swap kit for trade in EE right now.
The 455 platform is modular, I believe, it may be worth a look.

I think you will look for a long time.Scouts are only offered in 22lr with a 16" barrel and iron sights. With a barrel swap in 17hmr you could get an american barrel @ 20.5" but no iron sights.Gopher shooting with a scope is no brainer.

Does anyone make a 17hmr with a 16" barrel. That would be my first search,if they don't there may be a reason? Sounds like it could be a cool option.
As a side thought the scout only has a 12" length of pull I had to use a1" butt plate from a Tikka to fix that on my 452 Scout.

That's a good question. But if a 16" or 16.5" .17HMR barrel floats someone's boat, who am I to argue. Saw off 4 inches, recrown, and hope for good accuracy. I was simply suggesting that the American barrel is not a long one to begin with.

Anschutz makes a compact 1517 in 17 hmr with a 14 in barrel:

Looks like a nice hunting rig. I however will stick with my beloved CZ Scout. I agree, adding a bigger butt pad or even just a slip on butt pad to the Scout makes a big difference.

Because you can?
I agree, 22WMR or 22LR are better options when hunting in the thick bush only. Many people, including myself, will entertain the 17 when hunting in a variety of terrain where longer shots may be required (think open areas/clearings in the bush).

This where my 452 scout lives now.I shoots under 1/2" @ 50yds. I also have an evo stock for a 455. With the 455 evo you can put any barrel on there that cz make. I have also shot under 1/2" with a 455 evo combo. I will attempt the 50yd with a 16.5" threaded 455 evo combo soon.

No you cannot. You may legally purchase a barrel manufactured at that length , but you may not legally shorten one.

CC s. 84(1) “prohibited firearm” (d): If the barrel has been SHORTENED to less than 18″/457mm, after leaving the factory, “by sawing, cutting or ANY other alteration or modification” that forces the firearm into the “prohibited firearm” class.
It is not Legal/OK to shorten a factory barrel to less then 18"
