Would a CZ 527 be a good first rifle?

>>34493645
Depends
Have you ever shot a gun before?
How old are you?
Are you a big guy or a lil guy?
If you never shot a gun before and mid sized I'd say it's a good choice.

yes its a good choice.

If your gonna get a gun in 7.62x39 or 5.56 you might as well get a AR or AK

>>34493674
Yes
Mid-20's
Big

I've only shot a Mosin and a Mauser before, neither of which were mine.

>>34493708
Since you can handle bigger rounds you should consider something surplus
MAS 49/56 is pretty good. It's ugly as hell, but ammo for it isn't too rare.

Different strokes for different folks.

>>34493645
Yes it is. Its got low recoil and is accurate. It'll teach you the value of accuracy and not to burn through ammo unlike getting trigger happy with a semi-automatic like all new owners like to do. Its easy to clean and disassemble aswell.

>>34493722

thats fucking stupid, the mas is about the same price but is way more expensive to shoot and NOT brand new. the cz 527 comes in common calibers and does everything the mas can do.

>>34493736
And CZ bolt actions are almost always sub-moa out of the box.

>>34493736
It can't shoot semi auto

>>34493722
I wouldn't say I could handle them. I'd like something a bit smaller with less recoil.

I do like bolt-actions though.

>>34493732
This is what I like to hear, thanks.

>>34493645
Disregard the naysayers, I bought one recently and it's great. Accuracy, recoil, and ergonomics are all pretty good for me. Mine is in 7.62x39, and I weigh 135lb. I think it's a great gun for those who want to shoot a good intermediate gun with manageable recoil.

>>34493905
You're only 135? How tall are you anon?

>>34493916
5'11

>>34493851
> that's what I wanted to hear thanks
Always happy to help anon. Dont mind the salty /k/ommandos. They just pretend to be mean but they're just a little lonely sometimes and are generally good folks.

>>34494038
Being so light do shotguns and magnum calibers knock you around abit more than others? Not trying to be a dick actually am curious.

>>34493690
He might prefer bolt actions. Or he might want something to hunt with that won't attract a lot of attention. Or he might live in a state with mag capacity limits.

Also I have a CZ 527 and it's the most accurate shooting gun i own.

I have a 557, and can say the same. 1.9" high at 100 yards for a 200 yard zero with those loads.

>>34494116
and with pretty basic bitch hunting loads, as well.

>>34494062
Not him, but another 5'11 here. Been shooting with .44 magnum and 12ga since I was 8. Is no problem

>>34494062
I only own a Mossberg 500 when it comes to shotguns and I think it's still pretty easy to shoot. I don't own any magnum-caliber firearms so I couldn't say. But theoretically I'm sure that someone that's heavier could ignore the recoil better than I can.

>>34494136
Do you have to do anything alittle different to mamage recoil?
Im so curious because im 5'8 and was 310 last hunting season but now 185 and im alittle concerned its going to affect my accuracy with my 300wm. Cant shoot it to test this because i keep my hunting rifles with my father who lives quite far away and have only been shooting medium calibers this past year.

>>34493690
This desu.

Trusting OP is able to in the first place, buying some kind of AR now makes sense since they're just so cheap, easy to convert/find parts for, and feed on a regular basis. Even if you hate semi-autos and will never buy another one ever again they're a great "just in case" gun due to those earlier mentioned reasons. You might like to own one in the future and you'd be kicking yourself then for not buying one when they were cheap.

DO IT!
Great starter rifle. Accurate and you can shoot all day without breaking the bank or feeling it after.

>>34493645
It's quite expensive for a bolt action.

>>34494182
Nothing real special from what I remember. The human body is one he'll of a shock absorber. At the most you might need to fins the sweet spot to place the stock if you a bony shit

>>34494041
Doesn't bother me.

A bolt-action in 7.62x39 just sounds really nice. I'm not interested in owning an AR, and the AK market doesn't seem that great right now.

People here don't know shit.

AR's have been sub 600 bucks for almost 10 years now (excluding multiple gun grabber scares we've had). They have made a fucking million billion of them, they are fucking everywhere and you can get one whenever.

You know what is next to impossible to find? A brand new controlled round feed bolt action rifle with a walnut stock and hammer forged barrel made in a developed country by white people for less than 800. Let alone one with perfect fit and finish.

OP I just moved to NV from anti-gun MA. The 527 carbine in 223 is going to be the first rifle I buy once I hear back about a job I applied to (already bought a handgun). Hopefully going in Tuesday to order it.

A BIG part of that is because of the CZ 550, CZ has replaced the 550 with the 557 and the 550 was controlled round feed and the 557 has plebian push feed. When people talk about Winchester model 70s and how the old ones were better (among the best rifles every made...), they mean things like how they used to be controlled round feed (like true mausers) but now they are push fed. As time goes on companies look to expand profits by cutting expenditure, you won't be able to find rifles like the 527 much longer.

Get a sub 800 mini mauser with walnut stock and hammer forged barrel now or forever hold your pieces of plastic.

I plan on eventually having a gunsmith install a skinner peep sight on mine (pic related)

>>34494331
>plebian push feed
Get bent. There's absolutely nothing wrong with push feed, and the 557 series are great.

Anon noooo

Are the 527's smaller rifles? Been looking at one.
I'm 6 foot 200 lbs built fat.
I enjoy short lop guns though.
Love the AK with Warsaw stock.

>>34497354
They have specific "trainer" rifles for kids. called the "youth carbine". The other models are sized for adults.

>>34493690

I was in the Muhreenes as infuntreh and when i got out first thing i did was get me an m4rgery. (Should have gotten the m16a4rgery instead)

But anyways... that AR and another one my girlfriend gave me, sit in the gun locker. They're the most boring guns I own.

I can't shoot skeet or trap with them. I can't duck hunt with them. I can't hunt medium sized game with them. The bullet is too big for anything smaller than Coyotes. I can't try to squeeze precision out of them as I would a bolt gun. And I can't carry them as an EDC as I would my G19 or Revolver.

I don't like to hunt with 5.56, they get funny stares from other hunters, and even i think they look untraditional and they don't drop deer dead unless it's a headshot.

The 7.62x39 is better in that regard. But as a hunting gun an AK is shit. Of course in a shtf environment it wont matter, just shoot at the deer multiple times, you'll have enough combat accuracy to hit it.

But from a hunting standpoint you'll get no real accuracy out of an AK, but the CZ 527 will shoot an Ak47 round with 1 moa accuracy which is enough to reliably hit vitals with one shot.

This basically turns the extremely cheap and powerful AK round into an effective "sniper" round.

In SHTF I'd much rather have an accurate, reliable, durable, bolt action gun in the woods, than an AK or AR.

The only issue with such a gun would be house clearing. But then you could get a handgun for that.

All being said, yes an AK or AR is a great investment for a SHTF situation. But for normal life which is 99.99% of our lives they fill no role good except for home defense but many other guns can fill that role too.

I love my bolt actions, and I think CZ makes some good ones, but if you;re in a cramped hunting stand, watching a wide angle view, having a light and short 16" AR is actually much more handy than some heavy barreled 20-24" fudd blaster.

>>34494062
As a guy who is 5'10" and only 107 pounds, recoil is something you learn to deal with. I actually made Arizona state champion for sporting clays a few years ago using a beretta a300 in 12 gauge.

Follow your dreams

>>34497830

I'd much rather have a 16 inch barreled hunting rifle with an appropiate round and a small stock. Of which there are plenty.

As a matter of fact the 527 CZ Carbine. Its controlled feed as well.

>>34494331

Truer words have never been spoken except for the Control Feed vs Push Feed stuff.

And can anyone tell me why when white people make things it's always quality and work or art as opposed to when others create things?

Exactly my way of thinking man. I'm a CA fag but luckily these rifles are still available to us.

Also looking for a job. First check I'm getting I'm gonna buy me an European made gun with a Walnut Stock and blued finish.

You're right that the future will be nothing but plastic low quality third world made trash, and guns like ours will be rare and go for thousands or at the very least keep their value.

I'm first going to get the 557 Varmint because it looks interesting and has sub 1/2 moa accuracy.

After that I'm getting a 527, just don't know whether to get the Full Stock or Carbine version.

More than likely carbine as the full stock only comes in 5.56 and I already own ARs but no 7.62×39

Sorry for shitty screenshot of the 557 Varmint

>>34494331

If you buy a brand new Winchester model 70 today it'll be control round feed.

Other CRF rifles include; Ruger m77, Mauser (obviously), Kimber 84, Zastava rifles, Montana Rifle Co rifles, FN SPRs and PBRs as well as the CZs you mention. Of these Zastavas will likely be the cheapest.

Mauser actions aren't going anywhere. You're freaking out.

>>34498619
Barnes 556 loads are totally appropriate for deer, you simpleton.

>>34499269
Also, CZ never stopped making the 550 series. They currently produce the 550 and 557 side by side. They also claim that the push feed action is more accurate.

>>34499762
That's because it is more accurate. Push feed is more accurate while controlled feed is more reliable.

If you're gonna hunt dangerous game or plan to use it as a combat rifle then sure, go controlled feed.

Ausfag here. Since it's very very difficult to be able to legally own semi-automatic firearms, but I like the AK round I was considering the CZ 527 for this. However .223 is much more economical, and makes more sense for sporting use (target shooting, improving accuracy).

Should I get the CZ 527 in .223 or 7.62x39? My thoughts are to get .223 and then satisfy my 7.62x39 thirst with a Zastava M85 down the track.

>>34500992
Get one in both. The m85 is cheap trash next to a CZ. If you get the cz you will HATE the 85.

>>34493690
IF UR GUNNA GET AN ASSAULT WEAPON U MIGHT AS WELL GET A TANK OR A BARRET OR SOMETHING RIGHT you fucking retard

>>34493690
What if I want a bolt action
