I'm curious to know if anyone else is getting unusually good accuracy with the newer CZ rifles. About 2 years ago I bought a 452 in .22lr that shoots with my Volquartsen, and is a whole lot less particular about what it's fed than my other .22s.
Then recently I bought a 527 carbine in 7.62x39mm, and after a couple hundred break-in rounds of Wolf and Federal ammo, I worked up some match grade reloads in different powder amounts using the new Hornady V-Max 123 gr. bullet. The goal was to start to try and find out what the rifle liked. The first outing, with the very first powder produced a perfectly circular .8" 5-shot group at 100yrds with a 5x scope with one load. I haven't been back to the range this week to see if I can repeat that, but I now expect to eventually get a solid .6moa out of this rifle. Very impressive for an off-the-shelf carbine.
Hey: I won, as in W-O-N, a CZ 452 in a raffle at one of our cake walks at the local Fire dept. last year. It is accurate as all Get-Out. I put a 3 x 9 Simmons on it and it is a great shooter. Those guys have got their act together.
Mine seems to like Fiocchi 320 Match ammo as well as the really pricey stuff. Around here it goes for about $30 a brick at the local gunshops.
It's hands-down favorite so far is Federal Gold Medal, but that stuff seems to lead the barrel very quickly.
Please note- all guns have slightly different barrel harmonics, even between two rifles of the same brand and type. Yours might like something else better, but I'd recommend the Fiocchi as a good place to start.
Munenn,
All of my CZ/Brno's are old Mausers---but they were the best
Mausers ever built. CZ makes one helluva gun...
BTW---is that an old Triumph in your avatar? I can barely see the details, but it looks like the TT Specials I used to sell at a cycle shop in San Francisco back in the 60's...
