Ok, I have a Lite Solus action ( same prefits as an Origin ) and I have a 223 bolt face for it( as well as a standard bolt face, but not an ARC ). I'm thinking about a build that will be a lite weight walking type varmint rifle. Barrel no longer than 22 inches and not sure about a can, but probably not.
I already own a number of 223s, a 204 ruger and a 223 that I load to 22 hornet velocities with 35gr bullets. I also have a 6gt, but I am thinking smaller.
I don't own a 17 cal ( not going 19 ) not saying it has to be 17, but that would be preferred over anything 22 cal.

Primary use will be crows in the corn, but maybe groundhogs or the occasional coyote... 250 to 300 yards max. I know I have all those things already covered, but who doesn't need something new.

What would you build? I have a huge supply of 223 brass and a nice supply of 204 ruger brass as well, but I am not against buying brass either. I don't want to have to special order dies ( 6 month wait kinda kills the fun of the project ). Something that will feed from an ASIC magazine.
