Looking for a Remington model 7 predator in .17 fireball. Anyone know where I can find one?

Only .17 fireball I've seen lately was for sale from the kimber custom shop $1000.  I've been looking for a while with not much luck. Looks like it will be a custom build for mine.

Why would you want a 17 Fireball?  I actually have them all and I would say right now the my favorite is the 17 Hornet.. However take the 17 Rem.. If you have that you can reload it up to 17 Rem and down to the 17 Hornet velocities.. However I have to admit all the 17 center fires are outstanding to play with....I'm really looking forward to Spring so I can sight in and use the  17 WSMRF.. Now I have that one in an MGM Encore barrel...  I was going to suggest going to www.eabco.com and have them make you a barrel but you would have to get a 17 Encore or an Contender action.. However they do sell on the shelf the  17 Hornet barrel.. All of the 17 center fire Encore barrels all shoot outstanding...

I have a 7 predator in .204 and I want one to match it. But You make some interesting suggestions.

Haven't been on this boar for probably about 3 years. I have a 17 fireball that just sits in my safe for the last 3 years. I quit predator hunting fall of 2013 in exchange for hunting whitetails

Meant to say I haven't been on this forum board for 3 years lol. The Remington 7 predator I have in 17 fireball shoots like a dream. 3 shots in a nickel at 100 yards and would probably do better if I could do my job. I am not really interested in selling just yet. After a 3 year break the predator hunting urge is slowly coming back. lol
