As some of you may already know, I bought a CZ527 Carbine in 7.62x39 for my youngest (8) son's Christmas gift last year, intending to convert it to 6.5 Grendel... but the younguns (pun intended) had so much fun shooting inexpensively that I have not gotten around to the conversion. Last weekend we went out to play in the desert and everyone (well, all the guys anyway) got first round hits on IPSC steel at lasered 503yds out of that 16" lightweight using Silver Bear ammo. The two oldest did it offhand.... At this point, the conversion is waaaaay down the priority list. Eventually... but it is costing me less to shoot the CZ527 than anything else we own.... including the rimfire that loves Lapua Midas+.
