I?ve got the Cz 527 American with 24” barrel. I personally wish it had a 22” or shorter barrel but I should get good velocity out of the 24”. I haven’t had time to shoot my Cz much but the groups seem to open up more quickly than my AR-15’s. I’m not sure if the heat gets to the thin profile barrel or I need to get more clearance for the barrel to the wooden stock.
My Cz has very few rounds through it and hard to give much of a report on overall performance. Cz recently introduced a shorter 527 6.5 Grendel with polymer stock and threaded muzzle here in the US. I think this new model would’ve fit my use better but I?m sticking with my current Cz. I used a DIP 25 MOA rail and standard weaver scope mounts. I really want to shoot some steel targets passed 600 yards with my Cz. Unfortunately family obligations have occupied most of my time for the last few months and I haven?t had the time to shoot.
The Howa Mini Action seem to have more after market support in the US. It took me several months to find a spare magazine in stock on line for my Cz 527. I don’t think you can go wrong with either. I like the Cz adjustable trigger and the Cz 527 is comfortable for me to shoot.
