My 527 is/was FUBAR.
« on: July 23, 2012, 11:08:36 PM »
Made some posts about my 527 a few months ago, the accuracy was at best 1.25 MOA to 6 MOA. I gotta lot of FTF and the last round would almost always not chamber. I was bummed because I've heard nothing but great things about the cz 527's and the main reason why I bought it was because I wanted to shoot cheap steel cased ammo and I was getting up to 40% FTF on steel ammo.

Original thread on my messed up 527.

I shot brass cased ammo with no FTF, all went bang! However, at my best, I could not get under 1.25 MOA with 5 shots.

3 shots are great.....5 shots were terrible.

Sooo, I sent rifle back to cz, they checked it out and it was not my shooting on the poor performance. They took the rifle back and are sending me a brand spanking new cz 527. I'm out another DROS fee but I'll pay for it to get a working rifle.

Thanks to CZ for great customer service!

So true. I was in Kansas City in June for a week and it seems everybody there are nice. Then again, anybody outside of California are nice.  ;)

Did they by chance say what was wrong with it?  I am curious what caused both failure to fire and accuracy to go south so suddenly.
