I took my CZ 527 varmint bolt out to the range for the first time this weekend. For all you folks up north, it was about 60, sunny, and no wind. Pretty much perfect and the sun was going down.
This was the first time out with this rifle. It has an Nikon Buckmaster MilDot 6-18 that I got a deal on. I may upgrade sometime, but it works for now.
These are the targets. Nothing great, but I got on paper and then got some close to the center. I shot 2 1/2 boxes over the course of 50 minutes and these were the only targets I shot. I had a bag under the front of the rifle. Just thought I would share. It was only about 37 yards away. There were a few flyer and even at the short range it is hard to keep them all together. Seems like it could be an MOA shooter with better ammo and a better shooter or more bags.
I had fun and was glad everything worked. The rifle has been sitting for a long while. The non-set trigger is good but I have shot better (hopping it breaks in a bit), BUT when I use the set trigger, it is very light and crisp. Perfect really. Overall I am very happy with this rifle.
I would like to use lighter weight rounds. Does anyone have any recommendation for a low to mid priced round that is in the 40 to 50 grn weight all around shooting?? Balance of price and accuracy. Thanks.
Thanks.
