CZ 527 204 Ruger Kevlar Varmint Review

[doubleA]

I dont visit this forum much anymore but have seen there is some interest in the CZ 527.


I was wanting a light walking yote gun and decided on this 527 in 204 Ruger. I topped it off with a Swarovski 6x18x50. I removed the stock and adjusted the trigger before I took it for an encounter shoooting. The regular trigger now breaks at 3 lbs and the set breaks like glass at 11 oz.

On the outset I bought a 1 box each of Hornady 32 and 40 grain V Max loads. I was hoping for more but when I fired some groups with these they printed 1 inch or slightly larger groups at 100 yds.

I then tried various 32 and 40 gr bullets, different powders along with Winchester brass and Federal 205M primers. What I found out was this.......this particular CZ either shot a load pretty good or it simply did not, ther were not any "middle " of the roaders.

Below are pictures of the outcome of some of the loads.All are 5 shot groups and were shot at 100 yards.



4 shots were into .250" with the 5th being a flyer....



32 gr Varget




40 gr Varget




40 gr Benchmark 4 shots were in .250"




40 gr Varget






All in all I am happy so far with th results, but wished the gun shot the factory Hornady stuff better..may be I am just to picky
