Cz-527

[LRRPF52]

Txgunner, my 527 barrel is 18 inches and thats just about perfect for a light weight. I think of it more of a carbine than a rifle. The profile is a little hazy in my memory , but its probably a #2. My daughter managed recoil fine as a 5' Tweenager. Honestly, the muzzle blast bothers her more than the recoil of 120 gr bullets; I urge you NOT to get a break. The real problem with the 527 and a child is the scope MUST sit up real HIGH above the action (lower rings wont allow the bolt to open) making cheek weld difficult for small faces. For a super light wieght the Pac Nor fluted 18 inch grendel barrel with "Flutes maximem for weight reduction" is good and easily shoots < 3/4 inch. .... Ah... I'll get back to you with the exact PacNor barrel profile.

My Finnish buddy's Tikka that is mounted in that custom superlight stock has an adjustable cheek piece. If you look at Finnish stock-making and other modern wood products, you get this sense of a very high-technology, beautifully simple execution that is almost logically boring. I'll have to get him to send some pics, but as we were laying there overwatching a field looking for some deer to blast, even in the prone, I was able to heft his .308 Tikka in that stock like a pistol...simply amazing.

Just looking at that new CZ527 in the Kevlar stock with vertical grip profile and wide fore-end, they would have a real seller if they chambered it in Grendel. That is sexy...
