The CZ527 in 7.62x39 lends itself well to a Grendel re-barrel.
The Savage is easy to do, but will have a rather long and heavy action for such a short cartridge.
We're looking at Legacy Sports new Howa micro action rifle being chambered in 6.5 Grendel as a factory standard.
In a bolt gun, the 6.5 Grendel can be pushed to 60,000psi if you really want to. You can get a 129/130gr to go 2650fps from a 20" barrel. A 123gr will reach between 2670 and 2769fps from a 20".
