17 Fireball

A simple barrel change is all that is needed with a CZ from what I've been reading. You could check out Saubier.com for small caliber info. From what I've been reading it's a 300yd Coyote gun. Shot placement is probably a little more critical with the smaller calibers though.

I forget the chambering exactly (17-250 Ackley ?) but PO Ackley had thing about 17 Cals.....He had used his on Catalina ? goat hunt....his only complaint was that it was not meat Friendly :D

Speed Kills
 
I have a 17 Fireball.

Think of it as a small 22-250 :wave:

I like it, and it doesn't seem to bounce off coyotes

sold it to MPWolf, I think he was turning it into a 223 Ackley? :confused:

Dang I never even got a chance to bid. That would be a shame to re-barrel it unless maybe he were to sell me the barrel:cool:

Just found this in 5.7x28 while on saubier dot com.
