I have leaned that direction many times but have not built one yet. My cousin has one that was built by Accuracy Systems that is accurate and reliable so far. I wouldn't hesitate calling WOA either.
It's fun to shoot as you can watch the impact through the scope pretty easy. The 17 Remington is quite a caliber with those who swear it kills like lightening from above and then others who swear at it. (speaking of coyote sized critters) Bullet selection is the key and we have better choices available now.
The downside for me at least is brass is higher and I tend to lose brass from an AR in hunting situations. I suppose a brass catcher would solve that but it ain't happening on my guns.
