yes great liitle pill. i had mine built on a tikka m595 action which was a 222 before. i had a cheap shilen stainless match barrel blank off a friend and got my local smith to chamber it.
i would have liked it in 17 rem as they feed from the tikka mag fine. the fireball round doesn't with out mods to mag etc. and the smith didnt have a 17 rem reamer so just went with The fireball.
my barrel is also a 1 in 10 twist so it is limited really to 20 vmax or 25 grain berger bullets. i hear the 25 vmax due to there length wont shoot very well in a 10 twist. though i got some rounds off a mate to try soon as i get round to loading them up. well you never know till you try them
if it would have been a 9 twist i would have waited till he got a reamer in 17 rem and used nothing but the 25 vmax in it. like most others do in there's.
i know of 3 other guys using this bullet comb in 17 rem and they love the calibre.
for now as i don't shoot mine much pass 200 yards really. the fireball with 20 grain vmax doing 4033 fps over the chrono will do for me. it has made short work of the foxes i have shot with it up to now. no exits which is good as all the ftlb is dumped in the foxes.
pinpoint accuracy lets you knock the heads off rabbits at good ranges. with no recoil and spotting the hits is very good.
EVERYONE SHOULD OWN A 17 CF OF SOME SORT IN THERE LIFE TIME. I am sure I will own 17 rem also in the future or some sort of 20 calibre
204 or 20 tac. the 204 with a 39 grain blizking is a superb round also
