Hello, everybody
New to this forum Ive already learned a lot from just a few hours of reading. This is a great site for a newly convert from the world of the model 700's.
I never dreamed of building my own rifle before now!!!!!!!!

I am looking for help on a econo varmint build in .17 fireball. I have been shooting and loading a VS 700 in 22-250 for years and looking for the more comfortable recoil

Things I do have.
I have a EABCO 26" heavy barrel already chambered a #2 rifle basics trigger and a barrel wrench on order should have in a few days. 100 pcs brass, 100 20gr vmax and a pound of benchrest

Things I don't have.
I have found a model 200 stevens .223 to use for an action. Its at a local pawn shop reasonably priced. I have been looking at the Boyd's laminated thumbhole stocks on sale for $100 bucks.
Looking for all in put in the things I don't have yet and what I'm missing?

Thanks cant wait to shoot my own first build
