TC1 very nice rifle.What does it weigh,can you mount a scope low enough so using the irons or scope gives you a good cheek weld.I love the sleek slim lines.

That is a beauty TC1!! I love "little" rifles and that action and a 7.62X39, 6.8 SPC, 6X45, etc.....is just about perfect IMHO. Great work - would love to see it ready to hunt!!
I have both a Ruger 77 compact in 7.62X39 and a CZ527. Both guns are amazingly accurate (both shoot Federal factory ammo in less than a 1/2" for 3 shots at 100yds on a regular basis).

PennDog It almost became a 6.5 Grendel but I decided against it. The 7.62 is just as fun to shoot and it's cheap.

The 6.5 Grendel would also have been "perfect" in that nice little sporter but in this day and age "cheap to shoot" works  PennDog

Just for nothing but I think I'd run a 300 Blackout. I've no experience with either. Curious why you'd 300 BO over the x39?

I have the CZ. It has a low power variable and is super compact, light, handy and accurate. Very accurate with cheap PPU 123 SP. More accurate with handloads. Would be a very good deer or hog gun. In my neck of the woods in East Texas, you can't see 100 yards at my farm. They are far from cheap though and took me a while to find . Had one if the Rugers long ago. It weren't too hot.

I have a CZ 527 7.62x39 Carbine. It is accurate, functionally sound, inexpensive to shoot and a fun gun to own. As an oh by the way, the CZ has a .311" bore while many, if not all, Rugers are .308" bore. I am running in my CZ .310" 123gr SSTs over H4198 and it will shoot 5 shot groups around an inch all day long. CP.

Just for s&g, I had some left over 150 gr. Hornady FMJBT bullets left over and loaded them in the 7.62x39. I loaded them up with a max load of IMR 4198. It is tough to get it all in the little case! I think the Sierra manual says these do about 2,150 FPS from a 24" barrel. I don't know what these clock in the CZ 18" barrel, probably more like 1,900 FPS but they will put them all in the same hole. This is the most accurate load I have found from cheap steel cased ammo. to premium rounds. If you want a CZ, here is where I bought my 527. I have no connection with them, but they are very good folks to do business with. http://www.damascusgunshop.com/shop/rifles/cz-527.html

Had a CZ527 for about 10 years and last year traded it to Mackay Sagebrush for his Tikka .223 as I didn't have any .223 bolt guns but have a bunch of 7.62s. It was a great shooter with decent ammo. Was at the range yesterday with a Savage Scout Rifle in 7.62x39. It has proved to be a very accurate rifle. This was the first three shots at 100 yards... ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b77/RJM52/Hunting%20Rifles/20150312_181354_zps56e8f833.jpg) It is sighted in for 200 yards...the next three rounds were at 200 and they centered around the patch in a 1.75" group... Also have three Ruger 77 MKIIs, two standard and one light. They will all run better than MOA. A friend has one of the Mini Mauser Mark-X rifles and he loves it. As to hunting with the 7.72x39...just have not made the time to...just love to hunt with the .35s. Ken (firearms44) has killed a couple dozen deer with his Mini30... Another friend bought a Ruger many years ago and after his 7th deer all one shot drops he sold hid .270... If you can kill it with a 30-30 you can kill it with a 7.62... Bob

Does CZ make both a youth & adult model of the 527?

I just got confirmation from J&G that mine shipped yesterday.
Hopefully fit/finish is better than some reports.
Update next week.

I picked up the Zastava on Thursday. Overall, I'm impressed.
Fit and finish are pretty good. Checkering is a little shallow as mentioned.
The stock is a little thicker than I would prefer on a light trim rifle.
Scope mounts arrived yesterday, hopefully I'll get to shoot it this weekend.

Keep us posted, that looks like an interesting package for the 7.62x39.

I think a Ruger scout setup in 7.62x39 would sell quick!
