I recently purchased a CZ- Model 527 in .223 caliber. I made the decision to buy it for several reasons. First, it was there on the rack and I thought it was a beautiful little gun. It was the carbine model. Second it was capable of firing .223 and 5.56, very ubiquitous and relatively inexpensive calibers. And third, and lastly, I had heard so much about the quality of CZ that I did not go through my usual reviews before deciding to spend my money.
Since the gun world is changing, I thought I would look into the future and add necessary extras that would be needful and perhaps hard to obtain in the future. So I added rings, a scope, an extra magazine, a bit of ammo, and pondered hard over installing a Harris bipod. I decided to do so. It was a little pricy. I remember getting these things for about $30 when I was younger - the price has tripled.
The only downsides that I can see are that it adds weight to the gun and makes it harder to zip the rifle into a carrying bag. The bipod I got is really best suited for target and bench work as it is has nine inch adjustable legs. I considered the size that would allow to sit the high grass and shoot in that position. But, that model really represented a large add-on to the gun. Besides, I can always get one later if I want to. The model I bought probably would work well in the prone position.
I don't often see hunting rifles with bipods in the field. I have seen shooting sticks, tree stands with rifles rests, and rifles propped on tree branches. I was wondering how High Road shooters, hunters in particular, feel about keeping a bipod on their rifles all of the time?!
