Got two new CZ-527 rifles. I couldn't decide what caliber to get so I got my two favorites, 22 Hornet & 221 Fireball. I'll keep one and sell the other. They have a nicely checkered free floated walnut stock. These are truely sweet. I especially like the set trigger. They are a mini mauser action with a claw extractor to control the round during feeding. I won't shoot them until I sell one. Then I keep the other.

It really doesn't matter which I keep I love them both equally. I'll sell one at the range and keep the other. I'll probably end up with the Hornet because the Fireball has slightly fancier wood. Hell I just might sell them both and buy another.

P.S. I'm an FFL.

I believe so. That needs a bigger bolt face. Probably a CZ-550.
JM

P.S. I just checked on it (CZ-550) and the answer is YES! They also sell it in 7x57.

Bgjohn, I have a CZ 527 in 7.62x39 and cannot speak too highly of it. I'm primarily a cast bullet shooter and this is the best cast bullet rifle I have ever laid hands on. What little hunting I do is woods hunting for eastern whitetail and the 7.62x39 is plenty of cartridge for that.

The rifle came with a test target showing a 5 shot 3/8" group at 100 meters. I can't get an answer from CZ as to what ammo they used, but I was not really planning on using jacket bullets, anyway. I am getting 5/8" 50 yard groups with casually assembled cast loads and am delighted at that.

Gentlemen before you purchase any 6.5-55 take a look at the T-3. I have one and it is a bonefide tack driver! 140 gr. even with factory. I am going to get some 85 sierra's and let the yote smackin' begin. Buckfever

I have the 527 hornet, what a great rifle, tack driver!

so so with Lil Gun (3/4" ~ 1" groups)

great with W296. (.4 ~ .75" groups)

fantastic with H4227 (1/3" groups)

likes 40 / 35 grain vmax (1/3" with 35 grain @ factory COl )

likes 45 gr hornady hornet, particularly W296 @ factory COL.

good luck.
