I believe that Kid,,,, both of my 17R's are the most accurate at 3850+/- so that's where I run em.
I've never killed anything bigger than a Coyote or Bobcat but I can't tell the difference in 3850 and 4000.

If it doesn't have to be a repeater, I would go with a 17 FB over the 17 Rem for extended shooting sessions. Repeater then a 17 Rem or 17-223. My newest is a 17-204, but I only use it for predators like coyotes and such. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/Coyotejunki/17-204/IMG_0983%20-%20Copy_zpso25fzykq.jpg) This post reminds me that I have a brandy new NIB CZ Varmint in 17 Rem that I have to decide what I wanna do with it.

Nice wood! What twist? Something that big should be shooting 30-grain Bergers...

The little Fireball case is exceptionally efficient and would undoubtedly be the perfect foundation for the .17 bullet.
20 odd years ago I had an Anschutz Hornet rebarreled to .17 Ackley Hornet using a hand lapped German barrel. I shot many small helpless animals with it. It was wonderful squirrel medicine within a couple hundred yards, if the wind wasn't blowing. However, for coyotes, it was either spectacular or ghastly in it's performance. One in the throat and it was lights out. One in the ass and it was rodeo time. For ass shooting coyotes I would recommend a 340 Tyrannasaur.
Anyway, I usually felt undergunned when coyote hunting with the Hornet, so it eventually left the stable. Now I shoot a .221 Fireball.
Ingwe, If I had to choose a new build I would be looking hard at the .20 Vartarg.

Fireball2,
What bullet are you shooting for coyote out of the 221? Good or bad on fox? Thinking about picking a CZ 527 up!

Originally, CZ claimed they were going to do both the 221 and 17 Rem for 2015. A few CZ 452 22lr American's hit the shelf about three weeks ago. I wasn't fast enough though. Supposed to be another shipment soon!
