Fella's;

After quite the little adventure, see "Woe", it's here!  The CZ was finally obtained from the heavily brown dork-driver of UPS by my FFL.  I then took ahold of it earlier today.

It's also a mini-Mauser action, and a lot tighter one than the Zastava I have.  But, sweetness!  It came with a set of CZ rings to fit the Euro-dovetail in the receiver.  I slapped the new Nikon 4-12 A/O BDC on it & it clears the bolt handle easily.  In fact, I may look for a little lower set of rings.  But it looks gooooood.

The wood isn't as fancy as the Zastava, but it's nice.  This CZ is just a better job of work all the way around.  Better machining, tighter tolerances, the finish on the stock is superior, etc., etc..  I also prefer the detachable magazine.  For a walking varminter it just makes sense.  I can change out a detachable mag a lot quicker than I can refill a blind magazine.

We'll have to see how it shoots, but that's gonna be awhile.  I'm on call this weekend & next weekend opens fall bear season.  Then antelope opens October 7th, with more to come shortly after that.

Nice!

Was putting together a wishlist and thought someday down the road a CZ oughtta be in my gunsafe, just 'cause.  Ironically enough a 223 seemed to be the caliber to use in a walking sporter configuration for varmints.

Woo Hoo!!  I just found that my 527 does indeed have the single-set trigger!

Okay, I'm a little late in  posting on this but have you had a chance to get in behind that little rifle and wring it out?

OK;

I've done some range work with it, but not much.  So far, it's decently accurate, but that's without having had the chance to do any load work-up for this particular gun. 

I'm having an issue with the single-set trigger.  It seem to me to be too light.  I've had the gun go off when closing the bolt in a speedy fashion.  That's not a good thing.  I'm given to understand that the problem is easily corrected, but I just haven't had time to get to it.

I could do that today.  What with a foot of snow on the ground, see the thread "Weather Report", I'm not going to the range, bear hunting, or much else today.  Excepting snow shoveling - joy.
