OK Lets Try for more specifics. CZ chooses to locate off thinner face with a smaller diameter barrel as opposed to a shoulder to the face of the action. CZ factory rifles have a pretty good reputation for out of the box accuracy. Gunsmith I am considering has not worked on a CZ as of yet. Seems he would prefer to use the shoulder approach.

Seems to me if done properly the shoulder locating approach will offer a bit more stability at a cost of a bit more weight. A good share of the reason I am choosing the CZ 527 action is I was wanting a light weight hunting rifle. should I be on board with the slightly heavier barrel to provide a shoulder for this semi custom rifle?
