Cz-527

[LRRPF52]

I went to CZ's booth today and asked the guys who make these decisions about producing a CZ527 in 6.5 Grendel, and I was told:

"We'll probably do a 6.8 SPC before we do a Grendel." Someone needs to be fired. That was the dumbest thing I heard this show, to be honest. I can't think of a more senseless decision really, considering they already have the bolt face for it, and the benefits you really can see from running the Grendel at higher pressures in that action.

They will need to make a new bolt face, and the mag-length of the 527 will limit what bullets they can use in the 6.8, so wh even think something like that? Especially when you look at brass availability and quality, bullet selection, which now opens up to the 140gr class of bullets in that action running at 6.5x55 Swede velocities, and you have a super-light rifle with big rifle performance. Some people just don't understand their market potential I guess, and can't be told. That was a real shocker to hear them say that.
