ok guys after putting the new stock on to my cz527 action(.223)... i decided that i was going to get it bedded and recrowned.... after careful consideration..... i decided to leave it in with Mr.Greene..... best decision i ever made.... put a target up today at 200yds..... i used 75 grain match rounds from hornady....
I had done nothing to the rifle after getting it back from john.... and after zeroing it in , it was time to take the money shots.....
for me it was a new scope..... and new stock.... so hopefully in time i should be able to pull them in tighter....
and tack before you start..... i know Mr. White is out there....( this thread is about my rifle and the work John done to it):):)

Seen this myself today and as Andy said it not only looks great but it shoots GREAT aswell .Fair play to John Greene for the work carried out and best of luck Andy with your new setup;)

Well done Andy - it took you a while to get it all together and now the proof is in the results, that is good shooting.
And get a photo of the new rifle and scope up will ya?

andyone

thanks.... will do.... make sure you pay perticular attention to the mounts.... you just might recognise them(thanks again) oh and thanks for getting the picture up there... i'll have to learn how to do that before tomorrow

no not yet.....the 75's were all greene had behind the counter... do you think i could improve with the lighter bullet

There is 69 grain sierra matchkings available and are supposed to be the dogs. In a 1:9 twist the general perception is that the heavier loads will shoot better, but I'd give them all a go regardless. Few the lads here have 1:8 twist tikkas and they say they shoot the 40 grain and up no problem:) Every rifle is different though, even in the same make and production lines, they all prefer different brands and grain weights. I have a remmy 700 and it shoots most makes up to 55 grain pretty well and is consistent enough for me. It's only 1:12 twist though.

ya i'll have to try and get my hands on a box or two of them..... with time i hope to close that group in a bit....

That's already pretty good grouping, but I'm sure you will shear a bit more of it with time. Do you mind me askin ya what he charged for the recrown? At the moment I cant get groups quite as good as that. Keepin my eye out for a new stock at the moment and a recrown would definitely add a tad more accuracy to mine aswell. Tis all feckin yo yos though. Hope to have it done before foxing the back end of year all going well.

oh i would highly recommend a re-crown to anybody.....

as john also bedded in my action...... his price was all inclusive....
give the man a ring,John Greene 0863554425.....(surely the yo-yo's will allow a phone call)

i found the sky was the limit with john...... if you had the imagination... he had the expertise to match it..... and after that its all down to yo-yo's as you say, and time, cause the man is busy(for a reason)..

Andy my old 527 loved the 40`s and the 55`s vmax..The 40`s were a tad tighter than the 55`s
I reckon with the 40 gainer you will get that 200 yd group under an inch

andyone

will have to try them dwight..... for the moment though here are some pics of the little lady that yourself and clive have been asking for.... still haven't found out how to directly put up the pic's Clive, maybe you'll do the honours
