Does anyone make a 5.7x28 bolt action ?

There's no legitimate justification for not just using a .223

This whole idea is like trying to skin a cat with a lightbulb.

You are far better off with 223. The 5.7x28 is very anemic and has a low availability of bullets.

Ya just donload the 223 to 5.7 velocity... or not.

Your favorite color shouldn’t be blue, it should be yellow…. Haha.

Obviously the 223 has an advantage in velocity and availability, but if you want a 5.7 bolt, why not?! I think it would be an awesome little trapline or bumming around rifle. Like a modern 22 Hornet. Not everyone needs 223 velocity or cheap bulk ammo. I’d love a little 5.7 bolt action if it was well done. Or even an accurate break action single shot. Put a good rimfire suppressor on it and shoot varmints and small game in class.
