When I bought my Howa Mini barrelled action from Brownells (2017/2018) I thought I would drop it into a MDT chassis. When I started to move forward on the project I saw all of the reviews/issues with magazine failures and no customer support... I put the box back in the closet and decided I wouldn't bother until someone came up with solutions. I really hoped and waited for someone to come up with an aftermarket replacement magazine or a way to use the E-lander metal mags. Nope....... Finally B&C introduced their stock and Oregunsmith came up with workable solution to bypass/eliminate the failures of Howa's magazine design and release lever placement.
Howa Mini is too much work needed to just get it to where it should be operating straight out of the box factory rifle. I want to hate mine, but it shoots well. If someone were to offer me their CZ 527 Grendel then I wouldn't hesitate swapping them... and that I guess is the final analysis.
Riuma - Those are nice factory improvements.... and a removeable metal magazine. You got me wanting another CZ.
Grayfox - how have you not owned a CZ?! Christmas is just around the corner!!!
