I've been trying to find one of these for some time now. There is something very satisfying about the simplicity of a bolt action rifle with iron sights. There's also something in me that really likes those full-length mannlicher stocks. Makes me think of hunting stag in the Bavarian Alps and for some reason it really appeals to me. I'd like to have the power and reach of the .223 for coyotes or hogs and that's where the CZ 527 FS comes in.
My own internet search has yielded nothing but my dealer finally located one. He said that only 2 out of 7 distributors even listed them any longer but they couldn't get them. He had to call a sales rep at CZ-USA who said they haven't imported any for a long time. Whatever is "out there" is all there is for now. They finally located one and are having it shipped to my dealer. He made it sound like I may have found the very last new one available in the U.S. Gave me a good price though.
I have read some reviews and done lots of internet searches but I would like to hear from some actual owners out there:
I'm a big fan of CZ firearms and deeply regret letting a 550 American go a few years ago. Any help or information you can offer about the CZ 527 FS is appreciated.

- Are there any "quirks" or specific issues I should be prepared for?
- Are there any "quirks" or specific issues I should be prepared for?
- What kind of accuracy have you experienced with your 527 FS? (I'll be shooting THIS AMMO)
- Are there any modifications recommended for best performance?
- What is your overall impression and/or opinion of this rifle?
- Is there any reason I should NOT buy this rifle?
