I just ordered a CZ 527 Varmint in 17 Hornet along with a Athlon Helos 6-24x50 to perch atop it. I did a lot of searching and reading before I settled on the CZ 527, but the consensuses indicates that the 527 is the way to go the for 17 Hornet. Accurate 1680, Accurate 2200, and CFE BLK seem to be real winners for reloading; I myself picked up a pound of A2200 and CFE BLK along with a variety of heads.
I order a few boxes of the Hornady brass but the rims are way to thick to fit into any of my shell holders--which has be concerned that the gun won't like them? Hopfully someone here has some advice. I'll be making a post concerning the issue shortly.
