The CZ 527 7.62x39 Carbine sounds like it's been a reliable companion for your hunts. I've been delving into gun research myself, checking out insights on
Guns Domain, and hearing about your success with it is inspiring. Using Hornady Black steel-cased 123 grain SSTs at that range shows you've got your setup dialed in nicely for those 60 to 75 yard shots.
I've always admired the CZ rifles for their accuracy and durability, and your experience reinforces that reputation. There's something special about making those precise shots, especially when it results in a successful hunt.
