The CZ 527 American rifle in 6.5 Grendel with a 3.5-10X Leupold in Warne medium mounts. I bought the first one that I ever saw locally a few years ago.  I'm not really sure how this will be used by myself. There are better large game hunting rifle here and better varmint rifles also, maybe antelope. The little 6.5 is an interesting idea though.

 An American here also. Have a 6.5x20 Nikon. I use 100gr ballistic tips in mine. More power than 250 savage, about par with non +P 257 Roberts. I've taken everything from coons to 225 lbs hogs with it out to 200 yards. One of my favorite non big boomers. Extremely accurate also.

CZ-USA has given up on the Full Stock rifles in the States. But I like the idea of the 6.5 with the 20.5" barrel and Mannlicher stock.

Had to look for my loading data. I shot everything (factory) that I could find locally. I thought it was only Hornady stuff but my brass is about equally divided between Hornady and Federal. Only a single reload tried Hornady brass, Federal 205M the Nosler 100 Ballistic Tip and H322. Hodgdon H322 might not be the best choice but of what was on hand it was the most logical. My rifle so far has shot everything tried in it very consistently but nothing out standing. Part of my ambiguity about it's useage. Two and a half years ago when trying to pick up a set of dies I couldn't believe RCBS didn't even list the 6.5 Grendel. RCBS list dies for things I've never even considered but not the 6.5. So I ended up with Lee. I think Hornady listed them but I dont care for there dies. I definitely need to play with this some more.

Great looking rifle... thanks for sharing.
I have 2 AR Grendels, and want a bolt action...
Think I will be purchasing a CZ 527 Variant in the future.

I have a number of 527's. There great rifles in any caliber and the 6.5 Grendel may be the best choice for hunting medium size game of the various calibers. I haven't played with the 6.5 in an AR but it makes a pretty good bolt gun round.
