17-30 Carbine ( 17 PEE WEE )

Post by barryb »

Anyone know anything about this fellow , any experiences out there. Supposed to be a tidy little fox rifle that will run up to around 3900/4000 fps with not a lot of powder.

It is a good little round, I know where there is one, with a reamer, built on a CZ/Brno action, tried to get hold of it a few years ago, but never got a reply. Dont know about that speed though Baz, maybe 3700 tops with 20gn bullets, if I go down the 17 path again, that is my top pick, just finance stopping me. :(

Thanks for all the good input gentleman. Questions on why not a Mach1V , & or Fireball are spot on OL55 & Tack & pertinent , but this little fellow seemed to sit in between those 2 . :wink: Seems it would also be very close on the heels of the Ackley Hornet .Although now I confess my enthusiasm is waning given it appears a build on a Sako A1or L461 would present feeding problems.

You don’t sell bushings, you never know when you might need it again...

Trev,
Are you keen to build one or curious what it looks like I have a heap of 17 bushes (not for sale though) might see if I can form one up.
