WTB CZ 527 in .17 Rem., .204 Ruger, or .223 Rem.

[StupidLightweight]

Looking for a CZ 527 to build my dream hunting gun. Let me know if you have one to sell.

The goal is to end up with a .223, but if someone has a shot out .17 Rem. or .204 Ruger, I'd rebarrel it with a 1:8-twist tube.

Thanks!

I’ve got a 527 take off barrel in 223 if you find an action.

What’s the twist on your .223 barrel, 9 or 12?

I have a 527 in a gray laminate stock. .223 with what seems to be a slightly heavier than ave barrel. I am the original owner and almost for sure have the box in the attic.

What do you have in mind for this dream gun? Just asking out of curiosity.

I just scored a 527 M1 American in .223 with 1:9 twist. The plan for now involves dropping the action into an MPI fiberglass stock that came with a .17 Hornet 527 I bought last year. If I don't wuss out, I'll chop the barrel to 12.5 and pin-n-weld a suppressor to bring overall length beyond 16 inches. This should be a fun, handy, and versatile rifle for most of my tasks.

This sounds like a cool build, I am anxious to see the end result.

This will be cool. I have a 527 223 varmint. Not sure if it’s a 1:9 or 1:12 twist. Either way I’ve never had good results on anything over 70 grains. I’ve thought about re-barreling it, but it’s a classy gun so maybe I’ll just keep it as is and shoot light bullets.
