Cz 527

[wkndwarrior]

I have a 527 in 17 Hornet w/ a varmint barrel it shoots so well that I ain't messing with it. I even cast for it. Wish I had got another in 204.

I'd be interested to hear more about the casting and your results. I have a 17 hornet american that loves berger 25 grain so I'm always on the hunt for them. Casting sure would make shooting it a lot more fun.

I would agree with snowwolfe about the two negatives. Bolt handles get ground so either Calhoon or Warne (lowest available rings) can be used to get scopes as low as possible...

I have one of these bolt handles from glades armory, it works quite well.

Just a suggestion for other 527 enthusiasts.

Numrich use to sell (may still) the newer CZ 527 bolt handles with the thinner bolt handle base that allows lower scope mounting for around $25. The Glades Armory have the advantage of being a bit longer with more leverage as well as allowing lower scope mounting.

Old thread, but forum tells me I haven’t logged in since January 2021. I know I’ve visited, did not realize it had been so long since posting. I have the CZ 527 in 7.62x39. The set rigger is incredible, but the magazine is horrible. Getting more than 3 rounds in the magazine is very difficult and I don’t like the way the magazine sticks below the stock like it does. Very accurate rifle and a blast to shoot. Never put a scope on it. Didn’t need one with that light set trigger.
