+Vechs Ah, so this is the guy you were referencing. Cool stuff.

+Vechs ever get yours to group up nice and tight? you mentioned you were struggling with it.

+ what's the price of one of these.

+Vechs Love to have one. Is it tight ? How's bolt fit and mag well fit ? I think it would be a wonderful custom build !

Crazy seeing you here Vechs! Makes the day even better haha :)

Why is all their shit so cool??!!

You and me both

@@Wilma5532you’re only saying that because it’s true.

megadeth22885 Yeah, it would work nice for deer and boar. The big draw to this rifle is that ammo is super cheap, so you can practice more. IIRC, 7.62x39 is still the cheapest centerfire rifle round. It doesn't matter how good the rifle is, or how good the round is, if you can't practice with it, you can't use it effectively. With this thing you could shoot 20 cent a round Wolf all day at the range, then switch to the fancy stuff for hunting. Surprised no one had this idea before, actually. x39 has very similar ballistics to .30-30, and that's one of the most popular deer rounds of all time.

hulk hogan i primarily shoot AKs, though i used to primarily shoot 5.56 AKs i have been switching over to 7.62 AKs, i am starting to like the round more

megadeth22885 Think it really depends on the type of shooting you do. I live in a heavily forested area, so I rarely, if ever get shots beyond 100 yards. At that sort of range, 7.62x39 hits like a freight train. A good vital shot on a deer will drop it where it stands if you're using decent ammo. If I was doing longer range shooting, the 5.56 would be the better choice, though.

hulk hogan i think the idea that x39 is short ranged is mostly just hype pushed by the AR-15 crowd who desperately want to believe their rifle is better at SOMETHING.. but same quality ammo, same quality barrels i find the x39 delivering much more power at greater distances with similar accuracy to an AR-15 the downside is you will get a bit more drop at distance but with the sights properly zeroed its not that much of a problem.. so at any range id prefer 7.62x39 at this point, 5.56x45 only interested me for "ammo commonality" with other 5.56 rifles being more common in the united states, which isnt a bad thing to have around but at $40 a magazine or $250 for a magazine adapter, having just one 5.56 AK is plenty for that purpose, the rest of mine can be x39s the other reason im starting to favor x39 is the steel cased ammo, the steel cased, corrosive primed stuff is dirt cheap to buy in large quantities and lasts forever in storage (since the chemical used in the primers doesnt decay or degrade over time).. could i reload a ton of 5.56 with once fired brass and bulk bullets? sure, but i wouldnt be saving any money over steel cased x39 which i dont have to waste my time reloading

megadeth22885 Yeah, like I said before, the best rifle is the one you can afford to train with. Even with the sanctions against Russia, x39 is still only around 20 cents a round, and that's the highest it's been in years. There's premium x39 out there, too, so you can keep a box or two of the fancy stuff for hunting and then just shoot Wolf or Bear at the range.

I think people are now comparing it to small scout style bolt guns that take mags. The Rugar American comes to mind. But I am sure the rifle shoots fine. Just pointing that out.

Its about mag availability most guys I know like to have at least 2 mags for there bolt guns and this things kinda expensive to get a second mag (if you csn find them) and also a lot if guys like the bigger mags for shooting on the range no one in there right mind would use this as a fighting rifle I had one I used to hunt hogs and I often wished I could slap a larger mag into it I actualy sold mine because of the mags I wanted a second one and at the time it was going to cost me 100 plus for it so I sold it and got a troy pump action ar-15 look alike in 300 blk

I have one of these rifles. Shoots good. Wanted to see how good. Have a 6.5-20 Leupold extra, put it on, after a few different ammo. Found Hornady black,123 grain, sst, shot 3/4 group, more than once, couple even better at 100 yds. (3 shot group). Very nice rifle. PS, optics planet has the extra magazine. $40 or so. Spendy, but worth it. Good quality.

(I dont think anybody is actually complaining rather than making a joke)

Yeah. Now it would be nice if there were 10 round mags, but again... Scout rifle. Meant for sporting or hunting. EDIT: Plus, theoretically, you could make your own 10 round mags, by somehow extending a regular mag? Its an interesting idea. EDIT2: Its also about mag availability. Stamped AK mags are cheap compared to a proprietary mag for this specific gun.

Same in Bosnia.. haha

It's for your own good, Aussie. Only Americans know how to shoot!

*cries in british*

Cries in Canadian

even Germans can have some :D sorry guys

Attila Vilasi yeah baby cz makes excellent products.

I have a CZ 550 American Safari Magnum, in .458 Lott. Very nice laminated stock, beautiful bluing, very well made, fit and finish. With iron sights it groups 1 1/2” at 50 yds., which is all the better these old eyes can do. CZ makes some great rifles; I would love to get one of those little carbines!

As well you should be, Atilla!

Biztos, hogy cseh vagy?

Never had a CZ (Brno) rifle that wasn't a real rack driver..... wish I still had my 7 x 57 ZKK600..... CZ pistols are top class too. I have one of these rifles (the 'American' model with 22" barrel and no sights) on my wish list right now..... With a good scope and handloads I just know it will be super accurate and of course being a CZ, totally reliable under all conditions. How they achieve such excellence at such a low price is amazing. Here in New Zealand we love all the products of Česká Zbrojovka......

how'd it work out ? any updates,been 8 years now ?

Hopefully it went well

I'm eager to enter this trade, too! I'm needing pointers on where to start!!

7.62 master race

@@gavinfelice9453 Yep, i didn't know it has potential to be precise because Germans started using intermediate rounds in Stg44 for 300m max. Competitive shooters seem to prefer rarer 6mm calibre, can't recall which. Anyway, he always does a good job shooting no matter which calibre or rifle, it is impressing.

Dordor What are you planning to do with it? If you're only interest in an intermediate cartridge bolt action the 527 maybe a good choice since CZ only offers it in what they consider "micron center fire". If you're planning on taking large game or just pure accuracy you may be better with the Tikka chambered in something else.

True that! The 600 looks good on paper but I don't trust a Turkish made gun to be as well made as one from the Uhersky Brod factory.

Yes, a pity! I hope CZ plans to replace it with a newer version. I have one in 7.62x39 and love it - however, I'm still working out some accuracy bugs. I'd love to get a .223 full stock version as well.

I am kicking myself for not picking one up when I had the chance. I sure hope CZ brings it back.

@@scoobydoo3928 have you seen the new CZ 600 Lux? It basically replaced the 527.

@@scoobydoo3928 Prices are increasing for these now. I picked one up for 600.

Michayal Valder definitely don’t do it to others firearms but it shouldn’t matter with new guns. Don’t do it to anything old. Even 20 year old guns. My star BM firing pin is brittle as hell.

​@Michayal Valder CZ Rimfires can dry fire as long as there is no material failure, but at that point, who's to say a snap cap will help.

So are you saying you don't like a detachable magazine?

Lion Celica In this particular firearm, that's correct. I would prefer a regular Rem700 type box magazine.

mine obliterates squirrels

I'm with you. I've got 2 527's, one carbine in x39 and an american in 6.5 grendel and I really wish they had internal mags. I don't care if they could only fit 2 or three rounds in there. The detachable mag is unnecessary on guns like these and, to my eyes, it detracts from the aesthetics. Oh well, they're still great little guns and the grendel is a tacdriver! Any rifle that will put 3 into a half inch at 100yds gives you the warm and fuzzies

. L

And the Serbians too...

It is the best truck rifle ever . Small yet very functional . This is a great rifle .

Great decision! This is a better scout rifle in many respects

TheLegend27 why!?

Yup I like mine more than the Ruger GSR I had. Smoother, tighter action, cheaper ammo. Only downside is the lack of 10rd mags. I can deal with 5s though.

@@212driller I have three 5 round mags for the range seems to work well enough

WHY hasn’t a magazine manufacturer developed a 10 or 12 round magazine for these rifles??????

Class is class man.

It looks more like a military rifle... and that's what I like. :)

FPS Poland Yeah, I love the Lee Enfield as well, for the same reason.

Cz makes a 527fs, only available in 223 though. If they offered that model in 7.62x39 or 6.5 grendel I'd own another 527! Lol. I know what you mean about mannlicher stocked rifles! I love em! The most beautiful rifle I own is a sako bavarian carbine in 9.3x62. It's too nice to bang around out in the woods though, that's my safe queen!

Or maybe an m44 Mosin Nagant.

Very comparable to Browning.

they are cheap too

Been wanting this one for a long time, got one today, can't wait to get it out to the range !!

Very interesting, I've always thought the CZ hoods were an acquired taste (not pretty) but one with a K98 hood would look sweet

bad idea

reasons? im not shooting over 300 yds

Darryl Rossetti the 7.62x39 in this rifle is only really effective up to 200 yards. The cz527 is a great rifle, but the mossberg patriot is much cheaper, comes with a scope, chambered in 11 different calibres, has a fluted barrel and fluted bolt with an excellent safety and is extremely accurate, all for under 450 dollars. (Unless you don't live in the USA, idk about prices then.)

Canada. Was looking at the savage 110, patriot, some surplus, and the weatherby vanguard 2.

So many good choices out there. Would love the swiss mauser action as my dad has the bayonet for it.
