Wanted: 17rem

[jonny.c]

as above looking to see what’s about in 17rem
Would love sako action. Anyone

 

[Scotty99]

I’m looking for the same. Only two on Guntrader and they don’t seem to make them new anymore.

So looks like a custom build using a donor action. As the .17 REM is a necked down .223 REM then a Sako .223 donor action might be the best place to start, although I’m no expert when it comes to custom builds.

There’s one in rifleman firearms Somerset. It’s mine up for sale. Hardly fired a shot in perfect condition 1-9” twist walther barrel

If you find one you go for it, I’ve got a slot for one but I’ve got another calibre I want to acquire before the .17, which I’ll probably get next year. In the meantime I’m going to explore and cost up a custom build.
