Good points. I was thinking about how cool of a squirrel rig that would be. Most of the time I do find my brass but you're right, losing a 17 would be worse than a 223. I wonder what length would be best. I'm thinking 20" with a fairly heavy barrel. What would a guy expect to pay for that? Any ideas?
