I've got a 580 single shot that as a 17 Hornet would be perfect step between my 582 long rifle and my 223. Thoughts? I hear Dan Olson in Plains Montana is THE to to the conversion from rim fire to center fire.

Calhoun sells the 'plans' to convert but I don't have a lathe and I haven't run one in about 8 years so I'd probably be paying someone.

The action can go up to a 221 fireball size so I've read on saubier.com I hate the Savage 25 but find the 17 Hornet interesting and don't see anyone bringing out anything similar in size to the 580 series or doesn't cost $1500 like a Cooper
