Never mind.

Looks like AR's not such a nice place after all.

Life's to short to argue with narrow minded, opinionated Douche's.

The 527 is a cool rifle! Best of luck with it and keep us updated.

I've got 4 boxes of new 6x45 brass in the shop.....not sure how I wound up with them. :-)

I have rebarreled several 527s to 6.5 Grendel. Makes a very neat compact package. Lothar Walther has barrels chambered & threaded for the CZ 527.

Another option is a Sako A1 or 461.
There are usually some used ones on GA or GB. I have a number of them, none for sale, and they are great for 222/223 sizes of cases.

Could you rebarrel a 527 to 5.45x39mm?

Calhoon makes an altered bolt handle available with the exchange of your existing bolt handle (a swap plus cash).

He knows the action.

He has other interesting 527 things, too.

And a decent guy.

Someone here just posted information about a new Zastava importer. Maybe a mini-mauser?

Good luck with that backward operating safety on the CZ 527. More importantly, a special wish of good luck to any of your shooting companions.

I too own the CZ 527. I have a particular model in 22 Hornet and it's amazingly accurate for a light weight sporter barrel. The only criticism I have of it is I'm not real fond of how the rimmed 22 Hornet feeds out of the removable magazine. I would imagine with rimless cartridges it much better. The revers safety doesn't bother me at all. How many mechanical things do we own that are different from another brand? Look at the differences between American, German, and Japanese cars. Glock came out with a radically different trigger syste, and pistol for that matter, and they are right up there on top in sales and widely copied by the other makers. No I wouldn't let the different safely bother me. Look that the many different safeties we have: swing safety like the Model 70 Win, sliding tang safety, crossbolt safety (I put out with the crossbolt type there is no forward for off safe)the 98 Mauser flip type, the list goes on.

As for the 6x45 I build one on an AR-15 with a heavy match stainless Lothar Walther barrel and it's very accurate, I wasn't disappoint at all with it's performance. What would be nice with that cartridge on a bolt action is if you had enough magazine length you could load the longer bullets out of the powder space to gain more performance. Of course, depending on who made the chamber reamer, you may have to throat it longer for such bullets.

My pick, for the price, would be the 527.

Yea,,,, that was helpfull.

Couple questions Sc,,,,
1) What the hell's wrong with you in that you would imply that complete stranger's unsafe with their firearms simply because they don't share your choice of manufacturer?
2) What do you do when you transition to a shotgun or handgun?
When you get right down to it, CZ's cock it to fire safety operates just like a handgun. (Or is that to deep for your narrow mind to comprehend?)
Or, in other words, PISS OFF DOUCHEBAG.

Guess the only thing I really learned in my brief experience on this site, is that it's just another site occupied by internet tuff guys, and people who don't/can't take the time to read the text before chiming in with their "Expert" advice, because not one single sole addressed the question about COAL.
Strange that "COAL"seems foreign on a web-site named Accurate "Reloading"?

I'm out.

You know, it takes two to tango...or to have a fight.

When one goes public with a question ANYWHERE, unless he is paying plenty of cash for the answer, he should always understand that sometimes he has to sort through the responses for the useful ones, and ignore the other ones.

Sometimes he also has to re-state his question a time or two to get what he wants answered, answered.

And even that doesn't mean he will get an answer tailored exactly the way he wants or with information he is going to be pleased with.

I am particularly surprised how many newer posters on EVERY site don't understand that.

Heck, you'd expect it in a gun shop, or a classroom, or a bar, a church, or anywhere else people gather. So why wouldn't you expect it on the internet?

If you don't like it here at AR, that's fine. It's your privilege to stomp off and never come back because you didn't get things said your way.

But as folks said even before the internet existed (and prior to Al Gore's birth), if you don't like it here, please don't go away mad. Just go away.
