I just picked up a 527 Lux in 222 Rem the other day, havent shot it yet but and this is a stupid thing to say but its the cutest little thing i ever seen, so small.
Not the least bit "stupid," as far as I'm concerned. It's one of the few occasions that I use the word myself.
I've set myself up for what I intend to be my final version of my own personal battery, which is based on some severe pragmatism relating to what I can, will and can afford to use. The single conundrum which continues to vex me after several decades of sorting this "perfect for me" battery is that the 527 exists.
For where I live (NW Ohio), there's pretty much nothing I can't do with one straight-wall pistol cartridge and one bottle-necked small-bore, period. If it were not for varmints, I could do without the small bore. The TC Contender Carine serves my purposes exceptionally well for what I realistically need and can get by with, but I do SO love the '98 Mauser design and most all the variants. Given that the CZ 527 is literally a miniaturized version thereof, and one of the best of the "improved" variants extant, I can't not have a couple and I'd surely have six if I weren't concerned about being in the position of having more mouths to feed than I have time or money for.
The 527 is an exquisite rendition of the 98 and such a joy in the smaller cartridges. To my chagrin, the number of chamberings is opening up and making it hard to resist buying more of them. I have been a big fan of the 6.5 for a long time, and a 257x39 or 358 Gremlin would be a dandy! I have to stop thinking about this.
Speaking of "cute," after I got my Youth Carbine in 7.62x39, I figured out it was the only stock I'd ever had that actually really FIT me and decided to find one for my 222 American. Found one for $75 and am waiting for it now. I may lop 2" off the 222's barrel and have TWO "cute" rifles.
