Well after trying a few different scopes on my sweet little CZ 527 carbine, I think I have found one I like. I tried 1.25-4.25 Bushnell Banner but it was heavy and the bolt handle just barely cleared the scope bell. I wanted something small that didn't interfere with the great handling of the rifle. I looked and looked but never could find one that didn't break the bank.
Then I found this little guy. Its a Tasco Bantam. Fixed 2.5 magnification with a "ProShot" reticle (standard crosshairs with a circle around them). It was advertized as a slug gun/muzzle loader scope. I figured that for forty bucks it was worth a try.
I mounted it, got it setup to have good eye relief then sighted it in. Using Wolf 122gr hollow points my best group was right at 2.5 inches at a hundred yards. Not bad for steel cased ammo and a 2.5x scope!
I'm very happy with it. I think its a good match for the 7.62x39 round. Its light weight and small size don't throw off the great handling of the little carbine. I think it will make a great whitetail rifle and woods gun, as well as a fun little plinker.
What do you all think?
