Forgot to note, CZ handle is cheaper than Calhoon alteration, IIRC.

Here is my rifle. Would anyone be able to tell me if this is an upgraded bolt handle? I have no info on it as it was a pawn shop score. Rifle was manufactured in 2007.

At Mackey Sagebrush's suggestion I used Tikka factory rings on my two year old LH 527. Gives about 3/32" clearance with the 6x36 Leupold I'm using now, picture is with the K12 I used for load work up; wouldn't work with one of the big Euro oculars. I don't think they have changed the bolt handle on the lefties as they have on the RH models.

From what I can see, probably the older version. If you could measure from the bolt body to where the bolt handle clears the ocular, maybe someone here could answer that question. DF

Calhoon is a great source for 527 info. Not too much about that gun he doesn’t know. Good guy to talk to.
DIP rail with low .9” Low Weavers, the lowest I could come up with.
My gun is an older one, I had to get new low bolt handle. Swap out is easy.

mine is a lefty. will that be a problem for him?

Check with CZ on the left handed version.
Calhoon can alter it, but cost is gonna be more than the CZ unit, IIRC.

DF Give them a call; they're pretty nice people. Lots of 527 info even if you don't buy from them. If you need a pair, I have an extra set of them here. Bob
