CZ-USA replied to my inquiry from yesterday asking about price and ETA of a 527 Varmint Target. I also asked about the possibility of them doing a limited run. Here's the reply I received!!
" ETA is currently approx 4 months $1341 + $25 shipping. This is assuming that the trademark on the Grendel cartridge name will have been released by the time we are ready to deliver.
We don't have the ability to do a short run at this point. It's either a full production run of 1000+ pieces or through the custom shop. I hope to see a production run in this caliber, but if I had to guess, I would guess that we are still about 3 years away from that."
I'm really pleased to hear this. I was about to purchase a Remington 799 but this will save me time and money. This is not an inexpensive rifle but it is less than I spent building my other Grendels. Just knowing that there is a source for factory built bolt action Grendels is bound to increase demand and hopefully shorten the time before it's a catalog item.
Cheers, Will
