Most 6.5 Grendel bolt guns have used either a Mini Mauser or CZ 527 Carbine as the base. I'd like to have an ultralight repeater in 6.5 Grendel (mostly for deer). J&G has Zastava Mini Mausers in 7.62x39 ($400) and CZ has the 527 Carbine in 7.62x39 ($660). Both will create a serviceable rifle. The CZ has the advantage of an off-the-shelf available barrel from Competition Shooting Sports for $325. The Zastava would need a custom tube (probably ~$600). I’d after a stock lighter than factory. Does anyone make an ultralight carbon fiber or fiberglass stock for either rifle? If not, I’d have to get the stock inletted and the action bedded. Regarding trigger, most people leave the CZ trigger stock. The Zastava can probably accept a Timney, which is a plus. I like the detachable magazine on the CZ, but that would make a custom stock trickier than the blind mag on the Zastava.
Since I’m targeting as low a weight as possible, the scope will probably either be a fixed low power or a 1-4x variable.
Anything else I’m missing?
