Little 20" barreled CZ 527 chambered in .17 mach4, has killed a truck load of coyotes over the years. ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/albums/r233/Az-Hunter_2006/.highres/P2050117_zpsc8667350.jpg) I had to do a double take.....thought you stole my rifle for a minute there. CZ 527 with Pac-Nor SSM chambered in 17FB......great minds and all that. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/3sYvwvYl.jpg) I used this 700 Classic 17Rem for years before I built the CZ. She's on her third barrel and doesn't see much use these days but neither do I. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/HlW9irJl.jpg) Tor some reason that little walnut/SS CZ really trips my trigger. Would like to have one in a 20 VarTarg. I have one in .221 Fireball that might be the finest shooting factory rifle I've ever had. It's no Vartarg, but that's where the Vartarg came from. It shoots well with every bullet I've ever tried in it (nothing over 52gr.), and Reloader Seven. I've got four 527s altogether. Fine little action. Those small action CZs are the nut, every one Ive owned has been top notch. Had a .19 Calhoon and a .19 badger , both of those were amazingly accurate rifles, James builds a fine product off those CZ actions. My current one in .17 mach4 is a great little rifle, light, handy and puts the hammer on a coyote. I'm surprised there are so many CZ 527 fans since they have that "backwards safety"....  Kidding aside.....they're real workhorses that are usually pretty accurate. I've had great luck with them. I had a 221fb the backwards safety caused multiple accidents , shot my house all up - my truck too . Reminded me of the time I drove a 3 speed on the column truck - I put it in 1st gear smashed into the house - later that day it went backwards into the river . Anything that's not exactly like everything else - well - I just can't adapt whatsoever .  Even if you can't adapt to the safety Id think for someone familiar w a bolt action rifle, keeping the bolt open when you don't have a target in sight would keep anyone & those in the vicinity safe. Seems Forrest Gump had a message that would be applicable here. Isn’t the comment about CZs and backwards safety and shooting the house and truck up from the same guy that started the gun range goofs thread? The irony here is strong Complaining he can’t zero a rifle in X amount of trips to the range because everyone else is shooting and doing mag dumps . I bet those 3 pedals in the floorboard really threw ya for a loop. Seems kinda errrrr....IDK a bit goofy. Hello pot. Just call it like I see it.

It would be fun to see you guys in an old Freightliner, 250 Cummins, with a 4&4 running 105,500lbs. in the mountains. Years ago I bought a GMC WT (work truck) before I realized it had a five speed transmission. Never could figure that dam thing out so I sold it. Kenworth - 300 - 4X4X3 - 110K - 8% grade. (D8 tied to the front! ) But a eat-up CZ527 204 rides almost everywhere I go!
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
