Hey guys! In my quest for a 17 caliber calling rifle I have found myself in search of the Model 7 Predator in 17 fireball. Does any one have one of these and if so how accurate is it? Any feeding/ejection issues? I know the Remington 700's in 17 fireball had some ejection issues. If anyone has the Model 7 Predator in 17FB would you be willing to sell it or trade? Thanks!
 
I love my model 7 17FB. Sub-MOA with my handloads, and zero feeding and ejection issues.

I shoot 20 gr VMAX over Ramshot TAC - super fast and flat and extremely accurate.

I also shoot the same bullet over a full case of Trailboss. Slightly faster and (far) more accurate than a 17 HMR, reloadable, cheaper to shoot than HMR ammo, and it's even quieter than a HMR.

What's not to love?

Sorry, mine is not for sale...

As a matter of fact I have two and one is up for sale. The other one, I have shot and it is consistently under and inch with factory loads. I haven't loaded for it yet but it looks promissing. I do have an ejection issue with mine but it is not major. Mine tries to eject a shell before the bullet is clear. Now this ends up in a loaded round just laying in the chamber area so I dump it in my hand. If it is a spent casing it ejects just fine so that is why it is a non issue for me. The one I have for sale doesn't have this issue it must be timed correct. I haven't shot this one but it has been shot. Where are you in PA?

$775 TYD and this is as low as I can go because I know it will go $850 on GB.
