I'm gonna hold out for a CZ. I've got three of the little CZs, and they shoot without having to do anything except mount a scope and clean the bore.
The CZ is also an option for me. I tried that route too. Had Whittakers make some calls yesterday to check on the Hornet and 221 Fireball. The fireball is back ordered about 8 weeks and the Hornet is due for release this fall.
I've had a .221 Fireball for several years now, bought it, and a .204, at Whittaker's
I did have to make two trips down there, before the Fireballs were in stock, though. It seems they sell REAL fast. If they all shoot as well as mine does, it's understandable.
I've got a Hornet in the CZ, I got it locally, used, but it's a good one, too, but a little fussier.
My main objection to the Fireball is the crappy brass Remington makes, I've had some neck splits after only three loads on the junk cases. I'm waiting for Norma to start making their cases available to the general public (they're making the Fireball cases for Nosler's ammo).Otherwise,the little stinkers shoot like no tomorrow, if the necks stay intact.
