That is incorrect - the .17 Fireball, .221 Fireball, and .221 Fireball-based .300 AAC Blackout all use the same 0.378" boltface as the .223 Remington.

Snowwolfe,

A CZ, Rem. 700, Savage 10 or 11, or Ruger American are all decent platforms. The Savage is economical and has the Accu-Trigger. Ruger Americans are also economical but I don't have any personal experience with them.
I've shot a buddy's CZ and it just screams quality but costs twice as much as the other rifles mentioned.

If you're open to the idea, the Savage Custom Shop could assemble a LH walking varminter in .17 Hornet (25gr. bullet3515fps). laugh

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!
