[QUOTE="300magman, post: 1032404, member: 24769"] I recently discovered there was such a thing when (in a bout of 22lr shortage induced madness) I began looking at who still made rifles in 22 magnum. That lead me to the Ruger 77/22 which started me thinking of small reloadable cartridges and eventually lead to my discovery of the CZ-527 and Savage Model 25. Anyway, as there really isn't anything to look at locally (small poorly stocked shops only) I do most of my browsing online; but that makes it hard to get an idea of the real size of things. Does anyone have a picture of these "smaller" actions next to a regular short action? Also, are there any other similarly sized rifles out there that I might want to consider? And is the Ruger significantly smaller than the CZ & Savage? I suspect it is, as its offerings include both the 22 Hornet & 22Mag where as the other two range from 22 Hornet to 223 Rem. At the moment I'm thinking of getting something like a 22 Hornet (or if anyone makes one, or one that can easily be converted, a 22 K-Hornet, 221 Fireball or anything else in between those sizes . . perhaps 218 Bee) all of which I'm thinking could be loaded with Trail Boss for small critters in place of a 22lr or used full strength for larger varmints.
