    CZ527
    Main featuReS

    Truemicro-length Mauser-style action

    Controlled round feed

    Hammer forged barrel

    Single set rigger

    Detachable magazine

    16mm scope dovetails milled into the action

    Left-hand versions available in some calibers

    Because they are built to CIP spec, all CZ.223s are built to fire 5.56 ammunition. CIP spec does’t differentiate between the two hope this help abit

    Don't have one, prefer a bolt action, but never heard anything bad said about them ( lots of bad things said about other S/A such as the remington 597) and lots of good things said about the ruger.

    Its what I had, just sold it.

    It was a great rifle and shot well, they arent expensive and they've got nothing fancy on them but they work.

    the magazine can be a little loose but thats an easy fix.

    The 1000-times proven Biathlon straight pull action with repeating device
    in connection with the match two-stage trigger allows very fast repeating
    which results in important seconds for the hunting success.
    The straight pull repeater action can easily be operated with the index finger
    to open it for reloading. The action is closed again with the thumb. The shooter
    reloads the rifle with just one movement of the wrist. The hand operating the
    trigger will remain at the grip and even the elbow does not have to move.
    The shooter thus only needs little time for focussing. With 3.5 to 4 ms also the
    lock time is extraordinarily short and reached by no other brand. It makes a
    high hit rate possible.
    The .17 HMR caliber (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) with a shot diameter of 0.17
    inch is the most innovative introduction to the firearms field in the last few years.
    ANSCHÜTZ presented, as one of the first manufacturers in the world, a rifle hat
    sets the standard in this caliber from the very start. The renowned ANSCHÜTZ
    precision and quality teamed with the fastest rimfire cartridge in the world
    produces the ultimate answer for predator hunting with minimum pelt damage

    cz 527 17 hornet Based on the .22 Hornet cartridge case, the .17 Hornet propels the 20
    grain V-MAX bullet to a scorching 3,650 fps. Fueled with Superformance
    propellent, the .17 Hornet Superformance Varmint cartridge is economi
    -
    cally priced, and delivers the trajectory of a traditional 55 grain .223
    load, but is a pleasure to shoot with the felt recoil of a .22 WMR. The .17
    Hornet – an economical, fun .17-caliber centerfire cartridge that puts the
    sting on varmints out to 300 yards!

    3,650 fps muzzle velocity with a 20 grain V-MAX bullet

    Same length as the .22 Hornet – uses the existing action

    Trajectory comparable to a traditional 55 grain
    .223 Rem, with the felt recoil of a .22 WMR

    Less fouling, barrel wear, powder and pressure
    compared to the .17 Rem

    Lower cost and comparable quality to the .17 Fireball and .223
    any got 1 or no how good there are thanks




    here you go u tube ''.17 hornet long range performance''

    22WMR would give you foxing capability out to ~80-100 yards I'd expect, 22LR wouldn't be advisable on a fox.

    The WMR won't be as quiet or as cheap to run as the LR but it's still reasonably cheap to feed and easy to shoot.

    Many people do say that a .22LR round is not the most suitable for foxes unless you are accurate with your shots. However there is harder hitting .22LR rounds on the go, the CCI Stingers, 1640fps .22LR, where the standard is 1250fps and subsonic are around 1000fps. The Stingers are supposedly able to "knock" a fox as they say. I bought a box of 50, haven't used one yet on a fox, just test fired a couple, substantially louder. Price wise they are €8 - €9 for a box of 50, if I remember correctly. Not sure of other brands with similar speed and power in .22LR calibre.

    thanks mink had a look at that vid some nice shooting and at a good range


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 165 ✭✭killintime

    For sure the 22lr will do the job if you're close enough and your shot placement is spot on. The bigger advantage of the stinger though doesn't come from the fact that it's harder hitting (that helps of course though), it comes from the fact that it's flatter which means that you can place the shot better ...in theory.

    The problem with them is that they loose accuracy once they start to go subsonic, and that happens at about 60~ish yards, maybe sooner, I don't use them - in any case, shot placement in this instance is of utmost importance, and hard enough to achieve as it is when you're hitting an animal that size with a bullet that small with that little energy - throw a heap of spread into your accurancy at anything after 60 yards and I'd start to call that impractical.

    It's been done of course, and those that it's worked for will tell you that it's worked, you won't hear much from those that it doesn't work from though - but each to their own, I'm only offering my opinion on the capability of the venerable LR and it think there are far batter options if fox is to be an intended target. ;)

    hi an thanks extremetaz it will be for bunnys but wont shy away if a fox comes long at the right range but the 17 seems to have more impact at longer range than the 22 so mite look in to the 17

    Far more impact and far more accuracy - same energy at 200yards as the Stinger at 70yards, and MPBR of about 120yards as opposed to ~70, and they stay supersonic out to about the 200 yard mark too, so no sudden increase in spread either.

    Trade off is that it's louder and more expensive to run. ;)

    hi true they do cost abit more an as you say the accuracy is alot better

    Browning T-Bolt Target Varmint .17 HMR 16.5 Inch

    A marriage between speed and accuracy.

    T-Bolt. The return of a legendary rimfire. We all remember the first time squeezing a trigger, usually consisting of simply plinking a few tin cans. For some of us, those first shots were from an original Browning T-Bolt, one of the most accurate, handy and easy-to-shoot rimfires ever produced. Those days can now be relived with today’s T-Bolt, a rifle every bit the equal of the original, with new features that put this unique rifle in a class by itself. The straight T bolt design lets you load and eject with a simple pull back and push forward. This system is unequaled among rimfires for raw bolt action speed -- nearly as fast as a semi-auto 22. But you retain all the accuracy advantages of a bolt action design. Todays T-Bolt has even more than the original.

    Double Helix. When you use the classic straight-pull bolt-action design to chamber each cartridge they are fed from the new 10-round rotary Double Helix™ (patent pending) box magazine. No magazine is like the Double Helix. And no magazine is easier to load and more reliable at feeding.

    Three lever trigger accuracy. The T-Bolt’s three-lever trigger offers a light, crisp break, and every barrel is free floating. For those of you who are serious about rimfire accuracy will appreciate the new T-Bolt Target/Varmint model. It features a walnut stock with raised Monte Carlo comb and a heavy varmint barrel designed to provide pinpoint accuracy that rivals many custom rimfires costing much more.

    Stock
    T-Bolt rifle stocks are full-size with a satin finish and cut checkering on solid walnut. Target/Varmint models feature a Monte Carlo comb and wide forearm for stability on the bench. Standard T-Bolt is a sporter stock configuration. Both include dual action screws. Sling swivel studs installed. Synthetic buttplate.

    Action
    Receiver is machined from steel barstock. Features a classic crossbolt lockup, with an enlarged bolt handle pivot point moved forward for smoother action. Mainspring runs directly through the massive pivot pin. Cocking effort is split between opening and closing for ease of operation. One-piece dual extractor with integral spring and red cocking indicator band.

    Trigger
    Lightweight gold-tone trigger, black trigger guard and housing. The three-lever trigger design combined with a short-travel firing pin gives a crisp break, quick lock time, no take-up and minimal overtravel. Externally adjustable for pull weight.

    Safety
    Top-tang, thumb operated two-position safety can be operated without changing from a shooting grip.

    Barrel
    Target/Varmint model features a 22 heavy varmint profile. T-Bolt Sporter features a 22 medium sporter profile. Both are free-floating and have a semi-match chamber and target muzzle crown.

    Sights
    Receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts (scope not included).

    Magazine
    Patent pending Double Helix™ rotary box magazine. 10-round capacity. Easy to load and unload and perfect alignment with the chamber every time. This innovative design makes other rotary magazine designs look clunky and bulky.

    any vews on it any 1 got one thanks

    Browning are one of the world's greatest gunmakers, but I am inherently suspicious of rotary magazines.

    And don't believe the guys raving about their 10/22 Rugers. unless you enjoy tinkering with your rig on a regular basis.

    I like things that go "bang" every time I press the trigger: It's hard to beat stone-age-simple stuff IMHO.

    The Stinger is not magic fox medicine.

    I have killed many foxes with them, including a memorable morning over 20 years ago, where I killed 3 together; the last breaking cover at 30 yards at full throttle when I had taken the other two down. I tumbled her on the run with a Stinger behind the front shoulder.

    You need a head or heart shot, or else they will not stop. They will die, but somewhere away from you, unless you have a good dog.
    Not ideal IMHO.

    Stingers lose accuracy after about 80 or 85 yards, due to the trans-sonic Doppler effect. You can still body-shoot rabbits pretty much most of the time.

    The biggest problem with Stingers is you need to remove copper fouling from the barrel (as you do with centrefires) because the Stinger has a copper jacket to stop the lead melting at high velocity.

    I never shot a fox with 17HMR when I had one 10 or 11 years ago, but a reliable source tells me he dropped one recently with a heart shot at 92 yards. Knowing him, probably with 20gr HP.
