Most accurate cz bolt rifle
« on: February 01, 2023, 10:18:36 AM »
 What has been your most accurate cz bolt action rifle right out of the box? Mine has been a cz527 varmint in 204 ruger. I sold a remington 700 in 17 remington and bought the cz527 in 204 ruger. After shooting a box of factory ammo, I was amazed! It was so accurate. Started reloading for it, and it still improved. Now,if I get half Inch groups, I'm having a bad day. The rifle is plain stock. Nothing done, not even adjusting the trigger.
 What's yours?

I bought the same rifle back in 2005, my results were the same as yours. It improved every time I took it out until around 150 rounds. A tack driver for sure.
 This rifle has well over 2500 rounds thru it and it still shoots as good as it ever has. It also has never seen a brush go down its bore, I have only used foaming bore cleaner on it and it looks like a mirror.

Thats a tough question for me, truth is they are all really accurate. Some of that can probably be partially attributed to the single set trigger. I only use that feature when sighting in a rifle, but it's valuable when it comes to that. I've got a pretty fair range set up, with a target at 50 and about 125 yards.

If I had to pick one and say it was the most accurate, I would probably go with one of my 527s. I'd have to flip a coin to pick which one. My 550 is minute of tennis ball at 125 and my 557, even without the set trigger feature, is about the same.
It's not saving any water if you have to flush it over and over....

Six or seven years ago a small number of CZ 527's Varmints chambered in 222 Remington made their way into the states after having been imported into Mexico. I managed to get one of them and this would be the one. I'm guessing my least accurate would be one of the Varmint barreled 527's in 17 Remington and it's well under an inch. If they don't shoot (doesn't matter who made the rifle) or can't be made to shoot they don't stick around.

I am an average shooter.
My 527 in 223 is scoped with a 3x9 scope.
I shot factory Hornady 223 55gr ammo.




These pasties are 1” squares.
Shot off a bench at 100yds.

CZ 527
Just love this Little gun.

Those two extra shots are from my 1022 with a Red Dot.
Probably the most accurate gun I own.

Mine was a 550 FS in 6.5x55. Consistently under moa, and on good days 1/2 m9 out to 300 yards.

My 527 in 7.62x39 is the most accurate I have shot.

I have .223 in the safe, but I have not shot it yet.

Went to the range yesterday.
Shot 40 gr bullets.
100 yds.
CZ carbine is crazy accurate.

The .38 hole is from my Ruger 77/.357

As a lightweight walking around coyote rifle, I picked up one of the Remington 700 Classic rifles in 223 Remington. This was quite a number of years ago. I wanted something easy to carry that still had some reach to it. Then CZs began coming into the country and I picked up one of the 527 Americans also in 223 as it was even smaller and lighter. I'm now using the CZ 527 Carbine in 223 as a walk around gun. It gives up nothing in the accuracy department. Being a shorter barrel is a stiffer barrel I figure the little stubby Carbines barrel must be as stiff as a bull barreled varmint rifle, well maybe not quite.  kaptnies 1 looks like your Carbine is a keeper.

Yes sir! David I am so fortunate to have it.
Came across it in a tactical style gun shop a few years ago.
It was on consignment.
I offered $400 otd.

The gun does lose accuracy with 62gr.

And it tumbles 75gr (key hole) no picture

That would indicate your Carbine has the 1–12 inch twist instead of the newer 1-9 twist rate. Sixty two grains is about the high limit give or take with the 1-12 twist. I'm not one for heavy weight .224 bullets and prefer the 1-12 twist rate rifles. My only CZ with a faster twist is a Varmint model in 223 with the 1-9 twist rate. I bought it while another CZ Varmint in 223 was off being rebarreled with a 1-12 twist barrel.

My best rifle is a Mauser made by CZ on 1942, in a rifle by Kimber with a Timney trigger and stainless, fluted barrel. 257 Roberts and it has never missed! That counts, right?

That was the second coming of Kimber, after the Oregon model 82 and 84's and before Yonkers N.Y. 45 Autos. Nice rifle.
