You just never know what a salesman will spout off next, especially when he feels someone stepping on his toes. Without your comment, I bet he would have told the guy .75 is a great group and that he'd better buy now. Congrats on exposing one more insecure little man.

I've shot a CZ 527 (gray lam stock model). As everyone says, action was a little rough at first, but that didn't last long. Accuracy has been fantastic with the Black Hills 55gr VMax Moly load - 5 shots into .75" or less. Have not handloaded for it yet, but if my (limited) experience with other rifles is a guide, I should get even better performance.

About 75% of the shooters I've seen can't get all the accuracy their rifle is capable of from the bench. That number goes up to 95% when we take away the artificial support.
