First off, I had never realized they had control round feeding in many of their rifles. A plus in my book. Anyway...
Anyone have any experience with their rifles? I saw a used 527 Carbine yesterday chambered in 7.62x39. Liked the feel of it, handled nicely, pointed naturally, light enough to throw over the shoulder and carry around without worrying about the weight.
I'm looking at getting a temporary/permanent carbine type rifle before I get my complete stash brought out here from storage. Nobody really makes a carbine bolt action type rifle chambered in .223 or 7.62x39. I'm not looking for a .308 or .243 rifle, just a smaller, but still potent caliber capable of dealing with varmint problems on the property. And this is being for property protection as well until such time as the remainder of my goods come out. Five round magazine doesn't really give one the great comfort of additional rounds, but if you place rounds right, five rounds (plus another couple of spare mags) ought to be just fine.
And furthermore, I would prefer not to get another caliber as I'm attempting to keep everything standardized. I understand .22-250 or .220 Swift is probably the best when it comes to long range varmint control, but I'm not looking at that far of engagement. Additionally, try finding a .22-250 WITHOUT a heavy varmint barrel. So really, the 527 Carbine is about the only listing out there I've found. And again, not looking at a full sized rifle or auto-loading carbine yet or at least until I get my life situated out here. A nice bolt carbine ought to be sufficient for what I'm looking for. Anyway...
Anyone have any experience good or bad with CZ rifles? Their pistols are built like tanks, but I know very little about their rifles. I'm not looking just yet for another auto loading carbine (but it's on the list) and would prefer something in the bolt gun arena since it lends itself to universal applications. And I'm torn between the .223 and 7.62 Soviet chambering. The .223 comes with a 1/12 twist which limits it to 55 grain ammo...not a big deal as there are plenty of offerings around that weight. The 7.62x39 comes with more of a punch at closer ranges, but accuracy over the distance isn't as great as the .223. Looking at distances of up to 200-250 yards of shooting. Any more than that, I'm in my neighbor's property and I plan to be a good neighbor.
It will serve as a anti-yote, anti-other varmint, anti-two legged varmint and self protection carbine until I get my other toys brought out.
Advice?
