I think Deflave has one.

I'm not Deflave, but I bought one (standard 22")from Whittakers.

I like it. Shoots small groups with 50 and 55 grn ammo.

I am waiting for them to offer one in the most useful of all chamberings. .221 Fireball.

someone in another thread said they are coming up with standard bottom metal for them. I would be all over that!

That's not a bad idea. I like the CZ magazine just fine, but the little Howa mag is ugly.

Buy a 223 and have it set back & rechambered. If it's single stack getting it to feed shouldn't be a problem.

I morphed a 700 SPS 223 into a 222. Cost me $135 and that included cutting the barrel to 22" and recrowning.

Thinking about getting another and building it into a 17 rem.
