My brother hunts squirrels with his downloaded 223 rounds from his 527. The 30 caliber round has a good sound effect on my steel targets. Not to mention it is just plain fun to shoot something that has no kick. It should make for a very nice ground squirrel and rock chuck rifle. The more I shoot it the better it is shooting. Overall I am very pleased with the rifle. It likes to run a little dirty and it took a bit to figure that out. Then I shot another 3 shot group like I did before.Īfter about 100 rounds now I have found that this rifle doesn't like to be cleaned. The two groups at the bottom were just over 1/2". Those were very good so I focused on the Hornady 20 gr and tried a lot of powder changes. My first groups with the 20 gr hornady were 3 shot groups.
I loaded some 25 gr Hornady with no love. In fact about everything I shot was 1" or more. The Factory Hornady 20 gr bullets didn't shoot awesome. zero recoil, and the scope stays on the target. Shooting the CZ 527 varmint in the 17 Hornet is a true pleasure. The barrel of this varmint model is 24" with threads for a suppressor. Using the trigger the normal fashion I have a trigger that breaks at 2.5 pounds. You can use it like a normal trigger or you can push the trigger forward setting the trigger. The trigger on this rifle is a Single set trigger. The action it's self is not as smooth as it should be but should get better with break in. The CZ 527 action is a Micro Mauser action with controlled round feeding. I added a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 FFP scope with Leupold Medium 30MM rings. I picked up this rifle a couple months ago.
