CZ 527 Bolt Modification...

Can someone tell me where I can get my CZ 527 bolt modified so that my rifle will take a lower scope ring....? Thanks in advance...

My CZ 527 American rifle has a Leupold 6X42 scope and there is about .25 inch clearance. With the rather straight CZ American stock it is perfect for me. I can see where the owner of a CZ 527 LUX might want a lower scope.

James Calhoon has a Bolt handle exchange for $40 bucks.

Those Calhoon bolt handles look mangled.

You just need to remove some metal from the bolt.

Here's a better shot of the handle after mod.

It's easier to raise the comb height to bring your eye up to the scope. I use a Beartooth comb raising kit on my 527 and it works great. It uses a neoprene sleeve and cheek pads of different thicknesses.

Call Forrest Tiernan at Hickman Rifles in Colorado Springs. He did mine, and fine tuned the trigger for a right reasonable price.

The lower scope is more user friendly, and or approximately $25 bucks or so, you really can't go wrong. Plus Forrest is a regular contributor here.
