I liken it to the .250 Savage, but with better bullets. The 129gr ABLR and 120gr Gold Dot can be driven fast enough for good expansion way out past where I’d ever shoot at a deer. Have yet to whack one with it, but it’s been out once this year, and will get more chances soon.

The CZs are very nice rifles, but I prefer the Mini with a hinged floorplate. The Mini I have also outshoots the 527 I had earlier, but not by enough to really matter in the field.


What fresh Hell is this?
