Been wanting a .17 for a few years. My thoughts are to buy a lefty Remington SPS in .223 and have a new barrel in .17 Fireball installed. Don't need the speed of the .17 Remington. Would consider a lefty CZ in .204 as a donor but they seem to be rarer than hens teeth these days and they also cost more. Ruger's American? Just don't know that much about them or if they would be good choice to start from.

Any and all ideas would be appreciated.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
