  Got my 7.62 recently at a gun auction. N I B  but no rings either. No interest in the gun from the bidders so I was able to get a new rifle for $375. Found some rings on ebay and an extra magazine for $30 each. This is a fine light-weight carbine. It will see duty as a Hog-Gun for me shortly.

With the accuracy reports i see, it looks like around two inches with factory stuff. Should i be wary of using this as a deer gun? I' ll be shooting almost exlusively at 50 yds or closer.

At that range I wouldn't worry at all.

I would love to see cz make a lever gun in 45/70.

I don't think they have ever made a lever gun or anything in that caliber.

>>Did anyone get rings with their 527M?<<

I just picked mine up today. I hadn't expected it to come with rings, so I'd already ordered a set directly from CZ. I know they're expensive, but they're of high quality and designed for this rifle. Cute little gun, with very nice wood!   :D

Here's my 527 after mounting CZ rings & Redfield scope yesterday. It makes for a very neat little package.

Hi all,

I have this gun in 7.62X39.  The accuracy is not what I expected.   I have it scoped with a Leupold 2-7, and get 1.5-2" @ 100 Y. with my best hand loads or premium factory ammo.   I slugged the bore to find .3008 X .3126.  That's quite the spread with a loarge groove diameter.  I wonder if that is what is keeping the grouping loose.  The biggest diameter bullets I 've used are Sierra 125g pro hunter which measure .3115"  There's no front bedding pillar and prehaps a bedding job would help.  Also, the crown is interesting with a very small flat surface in the recess.  I heard these carbines were originally intended for a smaller calibre.  Has anyone out there pushed this gun to its limits with target shooting?

I don't have the 527 (yet) but I do have a Ruger M77 Mark II chambered in 7.62x39 that I used for deer hunting back in the early 90's when I bought it.  It worked just fine in the thick brush at 50 yards.  Fun gun to shoot - will look for the CZ eventually.

ExCDNGuy, did you load with .308" bullets?  or buy factory ammo?  I heard that gun was made with a .308 bore, which would make reloading a heck of a lot easier with options. 
Title: Re: 527 m 7.62x39
Post by: ExCDNGuy on February 02, 2013, 12:24:45 AM
I was using factory ammo for the most part.  I didn't reload back then but might in the future.  I didn't know the .308 bore part - might leave it open to some nice options. 
Fun gun - also "pretty" if I may say so. Black composite stock - with wood hand inlays - stainless barrel and action - topped with a 1.75-5 power scope.

I think the bore is going to be .311.

My CZ 527 M is .3105 groove.

Shoots under 1" @100 yards with Lapua 7.62x39 FMJ factory ammo scoped and off a bag, under 2" with cast sized at .311. And I did NO load development with the cast to achieve that. Lyman 311332 180 gr. seated to 2.20" OAL in 1x neck sized Lapua case with 22 gr IMR 4895 (Don't try this load at home or in your AK/SKS, we are trained professionals. Or just crazy... :o)

It didn't do at all well with Wolf steel cased, a bit better with Yugo brass cases surplus but not as good as my cast hand loads.

It kills deer just fine at 50 yards with whatever Winchester puts in their 123 gr soft point hunting load.

Any pics of that one?  They had them for sale here, but now sold out.  I should have got one to make some trick loads.  Oh well, my CZ should be back from the gunsmith in a week or so.

That was my experience with the Win 123 gr SP - worked just fine on whitetails at that distance.

I get good accuracy with the russain ammo. as they are .311 for being a little gun I think it would be a great coyote, Hog killer
I heard the USA made stuff is .308

 Haven't had a chance to start load development yet , hope to start this weekend after I empty some cases. Got a good deal on some Remington umc  FMJ locally, the bullets in mine measure .3095 at the canalure(?) .
 Going to start with some .311 Sierra 125gr soft points I have on hand ; wish me luck.

Jbbatok:

Is the Rem-UMC ammo you got small primer? I just found a couple of the old yellow box stuff that is.

The guys who remodel 7.62x39 into various bench rest rounds like the small primer stuff, claim it's more accurate.

Just checked ; the stuff I have ( green and white box , #L762391 ) is large rifle. Got quite a few FTFire yesterday, disassembled bolt to check for crud etc. and can't get it back together. Any tricks or tips to reassemble the bolt?????
