My CZ 527 gave frustratingly mediocre accuracy when new. Hornady Black -the only form of ammo or component I could get at the time- delivered 1.25 MOA; and my handloads were seldom better. The trigger on my CZ was terrible. The proverbial 5 miles of bad road every time I squeezed the trigger. I shot a mule deer with the Hornady ammo a week after I bought it, played with it for the next two months, then shelved it during the colder weather. I finally decided to tackle the problems. I relieved the barrel in the few spots it was tight, pillar bedded and glassed the action and installed a Timney trigger. The improvement was immediate. On a hunch, I glassed the barrel ahead of the action for 2 inches. It seemed to do the trick. Good handloads were shooting bug holes consistently. It is now one of my favorite rifles. ~Riuma
