Love the rifle and caliber

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

I can't wait to get it into the field!

[@Greyzonecompliant]

That worked like a charm. Will it cycle all bullet lengths ? Nice work 👍

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

It doesn't seem to care what COAL we give it!

[@4110mahindra]

First... just found your channel and love it so far. You come across as very knowledgeable yet humble/relatable. Would love to see some range footage and load development. I just built a similar rifle on a 700 SA.

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

Thank you! How is your 700 running the Fireball? We’re getting back to this project in a couple weeks.

[@4110mahindra]

@mountaintacticalcompany still experimenting, shot a 6 shot group that I can cover with a penny. 17.5gr AA2200 under a 25gr vmax. It doesn't seem to like lighter bullets. Shoots 1 moa groups or bigger with 20gr bullets

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

I’m hoping to get good results with the vmax as well. Thank you for sharing!

[@aaronunterseher1627]

17 hornet would be fun

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

It would! Classic cartridge! The rim would make it even more of a challenge.

[@bigbore4459]

You beat me to this. I had just ordered the reamer , go gauges and brass for this exact project. When will you start selling this or offering a prefit conversion barrel?

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

Haha! I've wanted to build this rifle for years as well. Once we figure out how to get it to work as a repeater, we'll see if there is demand for pre-fits, etc. Cheers!

[@justbaggit70]

I want one, but has to be a repeater

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

We’re so close to making this repeat it hurts, haha!

[@brodygilchuk907]

That’s awesome!! Whats the game plan for a mag??

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

We’ll do our initial testing with the single shot follower. That said, we are working on another project that has not been released yet that has the same feeding issue with a completely different cartridge. This has me thinking……

[@brodygilchuk907]

@@mountaintacticalcompany I see once again looking forward to the next video on this series. I happy to see the 17FB get some love again.

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

Right? I've wanted a 17FB since remington released it

[@brodygilchuk907]

@@mountaintacticalcompany I hope more company get on board with making brass and bullets. It’s a dam shame a guy can’t find the 30gr bergers anymore. They shot so well out of my first 17FB I had back in 2008. I would really like to give them a go in the 17FB I have now.

[@mountaintacticalcompany]

I think I’m going to try v-maxs and maybe the Hammer monolithics
