CZ 6.5X55

[bobanddog]

6.8 Rem is not a CZ caliber.  Sounds like a rebarrel job.  If it is a full length wood stock, it would be a CZ full stock (FS).  Grey in color sounds like a paint job.  Or, could be a custom stock.

I have seen a CZ 527 converted to a 6.5 Grendel, but never a 6.8.

Maybe it's one of these: https://www.saodind.com/cz-527-barrel-stock-combo-6-8-spc-detail

  thanks guys.. Thats enough to tell me it is out of my league, as I am not a reloader. If I can't buy it at a LGS or Midway or another online ammo dealer...I won't be shooting it.

   so with that in mind, I will share the link to the up coming auction on the southside of Indianapolis. I usually monitor the online bidding before the day of the auction..but do not bid,  that 17.5% buyers premium is steep.. but then I go to the live auction where there is no buyers surcharge...

so here is what I was watching---  Hope it is something you are looking for

That octagonal barrel with the chambering in white letters, and what looks like a painted stock scream custom.  That the receiver is  stamped '05 certainly indicates it's not a new CZ to get all excited about.  Interesting, but if someone wants one that bad they're probably better off having it built instead of buying someone else's project.

  Thanks for the feedback. I am going to look around for ammo , to see if I can find any... then I may watch to see how the bidding goes.  Who knows this could be a $200 prize.

  2 years ago I got a 527 carbine in 7.62x39mm for $450 at this same auction house,,, nobody wnted it !!

  I hate to be a dork and not give my source... but I am going to buy this darn gun shortly and don't want someone else to cut me in the bidding...but I am looking at a CZ 527 FS in 6.8 REM on an auction site.  It is not an error in the description...they have close-up photos of the rifle and box. and that the correct identification of model and caliber.  Now my problem is I can't find a listing for a full lenth "hogue-like" stock (could be kevlar) grey in color, gun, and I am not familiar with 6.8 REM is that a caliber used by CZ somewhere?? I don't see it listed in the book anywhere.

Help guys.  I think I want this gun...but I want more info before jumping on it.   I will share the results in a couple of weeks

The 6.8 Remington is designed for the AR platform with a .277 dia bullet, generally 115 gr. 

Edited: That's a strange animal there.  I'd like to see them bring their 527 FS out in 6.8 SPC, but that's likely not going to happen.  Remington, as is unfortunately typical for them, has all but abandoned the 6.8 SPC themselves, much like they have done with the .260 Rem.  Why would anyone else want to pick up and run with someone else's project.  Remington keeps shooting themselves in the foot.  It's only a matter of time until they hit something more vital...
