CZ, Remington, etc... if you know where one is resting let me know. I have an Encore rifle in it but it’s a heavy barrel. It’s great for prairie dogs and bench work but not a walking around rifle. I have lots of 221 ammo so I’m tied to the little fireball.

There was a Remington 700 on GI but I just looked and it's gone...
There's a "reasonable" Cooper over there too.

Fireball is an excellent platform... my favorite custom small bore light weight is a Remington 700 in 17 Fireball

I've got a Remington 700 Classic in 221 Fireball. It's a deadly 300 yard prairie dog gun and shoots 1/2" at 100 yards.
Good luck on your search. They are definitely worth the effort.

I to have a Remington 700 classic 221FB topped with a VX3 6.5-20 It's a deadly rifle at 300 yards. I would highly recommend trying to find one. One sold on GB recently for around $1300 if memory serves me correctly.
Good luck

I've been loooking for a 700 too that's why I noticed the one for sale. CZs too. They're all hard to find.
I've got a 20 VarTarg that is truly remarkable. It's a .221 wildcat.

Look at a Cooper. I've got a Rem 700 Lt Varmiter but the synthetic stock is a marshmallow. Can't use a bipod with it and have to basically shoot it off hand supporting it under the action.
The rem stainless & wood cdl is the one to get.

That CZ looks "older" but some of the 527's have the single set trigger like I have on my 7.62X39 527... & I really like that trigger...

Fireball is an excellent platform... my favorite custom small bore light weight is a Remington 700 in 17 Fireball I’ve got one but it isn’t a custom. Factory 700 SPS, it’s a sub 1 inch gun with the right loads. |

Mine is not a fancy rifle... was originally a just a plainer stocked BDL chambered in 17 Remington, FIL shot the barrel out of it, taking it prairie dogging... had to change out a little hardware more than just the barrel to convert it to 17 Fireball, but well worth it...

Nice rifle, but I really like the stump.
