My CZ rifle started life preWWII as a Czech BRNO Mauser 98/29 rifle for Persia (Iran). Still have the action that I someday plan on making it into a 9.3x62mm SCOUT rifle for hunting.

another place, another time: the same group that produced Skoda guns for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, next the 88mm. guns, if I'm not wrong, and probably the best finished 98 large ring rifles when the parent company Mauser was banned from producing in Germany between I & IIWW.
today my three 98s are all vintage CZ, and not by chance.

I have 3 CZs
A 457 in a Boyd’s at one stock that is awesome accurate that gets used for nrl22. A suppressor ready 16” 6.5 Grendel that’s getting a new stock directly from cz. Gonna replace the plastic houge style with a Turkish walnut cz has for sale on their website. And finally a 223 that was rebarreled to a 6mmx45 and a custom wood stock on it

Not for the 8" Magnum action, as far as I can tell.

That's a shame. Had a look at Richards Microfit but they don't seem to do anything for CZ

They do, the BRNO 602 Magnum is the same action, the pics I've seen of the stock you get look like they carved it with a PIZZED OFF!! Beaver!??, I'm not much of a wood worker?, I haven't totally disregarded them yet though?

Also have brass and Hornady DGX bullets on the way, got my shipping notice from Graf & Sons today, that's at least a third of the cost of this build!

I have heard that Richards are a bit rough, but if you can finish it up yourself.....

A friend recommended CZ rifles because he loved his 452 17HMR. I
had wanted a 2 Hornet and a full stocked rifle for a while. I think it
was about 19 years ago I had my FFL order a 527 FS in 22 Hornet.
Besides being great looking, it is silly accurate. Later I found 452s
in 22lr American, 22lr full stock and 22wmr full stock. Two 527 Luxs
a 22 Hornet and 223 arrived. I then bought a 527 Carbine in 7.62X39.
It was the youth model and the stock didn't fit me, enter the 527 Lux
stock for the Russian! It is the handiest centerfire I own. I load .308
dia. Sierra 125gr grain bullets with good accuracy. I don't hunt
anymore, just blast steel and paper. If I were to ever be able to hunt
deer again, the little Russian would be my choice.

Yeah, I got a 527 in 7.62x39 plus a 455 switch barrel in 22 lr and 22 WMR, then a Scout for my kids to shoot. Also have a 75. CZ was my go to for new guns, but they seemed to have dropped the ball with the 600. Also discontinued the cool rifles. Just wondered if the Colt acquisition was part of the problem. Too bad, I definitely would have bought another 527.

I too regret that CZ discontinued the 452, 527 and 550 rifle lines. I have no interest in the current 600 line.

I think that CZ should produce a "Classic" 527 rifle yearly in a different format (American, FS, Carbine) in a different caliber. Much as Remington did in older days with the 700 Classic when Remington was on top of their game. I believe CZ 527's would sell incredibly fast.

I have posted this idea before, both here and on Rimfire Central, but I doubt CZ will do such. It's too far from South Carolina to the Czech Republic for them to hear me.

I regret not buying a 550 FS in 6.5x55 before they stopped making them. My 550 FS in 9.3x62 is a sub MOA shooter. While not perfect (they were a bit hefty) they were still a great rifle. Unfortunately all gun makers are following the same path of cost cutting plastic stocks path. While more profitable I find them much less satisfying and lacking of warmth and soul.

My CZ 452 in 17Hmr with 18" barrel and SAK moderator.
This really is a very accurate rifle and will take rabbits easily out to 150yds (If the wind isn't blowing)

I happen to have purchased a spare magnum stock from CZ in 550....it's the classic European style with cheek rest in perfect condition....it has the butt pad...

 

[EverLever]

I had a 550 American in 9.3x62 mm and it was a great rifle. A little big for North Texas game but I did kill a doe with it.
Being a gun trader at heart, a gun trader friend gave me a Sako A7 22-250 for it- I then traded that for a Tikka T3 8x57mm……

At least you went back to another classic cartridge.

 

[Scharnhorst]

I had a CZ in 375 H&H. It kicked like a mule.

My 527 Youth Carbine in Commie 30 is a fine little pig gun.

 

[Scharnhorst]

Yeah, a commie 30 is a very good pig caliber, pretty much is .30-30 performance but with a better bullet. Although no wild porker is going to know the different between a Russkie bulled and an American bullet. Years ago I hunted wild pigs in Tennessee. Shot four of them there, two with a .45-70, one with a .35 Whelen, and one with a Moisin-Nagant 91/30 (a 1936 Izhevsk).

IMO a 30-30 bullet, which is almost always a bullet designed for perfect performance at the velocity that a 30-30 produces, is in most cases a superior hunting bullet when compared to bullets used in commie ammo.
