I was after a CZ 527 carbine. But they stopped production. Now i have my wishes for a Howa Mini hunter. With walnut furniture. I would consider a Ruger American too if it came with a walnut stock. I'll sell the cheap scope they provide probably.

I was impressed with my first AR chambered in 762x39! Shot cheap steel cased ammo to 1-1.5 MOALooks like a good time, what are you getting? Judging from the scope choice I figure it is a bolt action. It is a great round in a little bolt action, I wouldn't part with my Howa Mini. It likes to throw cheap steel case ammo into small enough groups that I have never even bothered ordering a set of dies.

The home build I bought had a Bear Creek bbl, and my RRA LAR47 shot lights outIt took trying 3 barrels to find a really good one but my AR is also very accurate with steel case. Mine likes Wolf 124 hollow points the best and shoots sub moa with them. I feel like the Russian steel case ammo in an accurate rifle is one of the hidden gems of the shooting world. People turn there nose up at it and call it commie junk ammo. Can’t count how many times I’ve heard people say 7.62x39 is just inherently inaccurate. Couldn’t tell my rifle that.

yikesThe CZ527 is not “tactical” enough for the current crop of modern buyers. Instead, it was replaced with this:

And it's double the price.yikes
Yeah, pretty inconceivable how the rifle that everyone praised for having classic steel and walnut construction with quality machine work went to whatever you call that...
Howa seems to be the only one left that makes a true mini action. I really like mine, and can echo what viper 225 reports. If you can find one with the wood stock that is even better, or Boyds makes a stock for them. I shaved the mag release down on mine so it is hard to hit accidentally but still easy to push when I intend to. There are also some nice blind magazine conversions for them that I would like to investigate at some point to eliminate the problem completely and make the bottom of the stock smooth for easier carry.
They sold everyone they imported each year,I suspect its because so few of the people that sang its praises from the mountain tops actually opened their wallet and bought one.

Except for a gun way cheaper to make and sell for double the price as the old.Evidently whatever number of them were being imported wasn't enough. Companies rarely discontinue highly profitable products.
