Well you have about 7 different models to choose from with variations on configuration in each model.

I own a Varmint model in .223 with laminate stock, and it is VERY accurate with a ridiculously awesome single set trigger.

On a serious note, I fell in love, or maybe it was lust,...oh well, anyway; a 527 Carbine in 7.62x39. Looked great. Felt great. Really easy bolt action, and an absolutely sweet trigger. I hesitated, didn't buy it. Went back later and it was gone. Moral...if you see it, like it, want it...Buy It!

MMMMMMM FS!

I just won an auction for a CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62 x 39mm off of gunbroker.com! I've heard and read very good things about this gun, and it has so many features that I was looking for in a firearm. I know alot of people don't like the 7.62 x 39mm round, but I think it's a good round, especially for the money. I'll let you know what all I like and don't like about the rifle once it comes in.

Congats on the win! I'm very envious.

Great rifle built of wood/steel on a sort of mini mauser action. They are also known for very good to excellent accuracy. I would like to have the carbine myself in .223 or 7.62. TTT

I've owned a lot of nice rifles, some more expensive than the CZ. But without a doubt, the CZs are some of my favorites. My CZ527 in .221 Fireball, hence my username, is the one on top of the pile of favorite rifles. The accuracy is impressive, and its just one of those good feeling rifles to have in your hands ...especially when the varmints are running.

I had another 527 in .204 Ruger, and it was a tack driver also, but wouldn't do anything the Fireball wouldn't do, so I sold it and got a CZ550 Varmint in .308. It will shoot minute of angle out of the box with factory ammo to 300 yards, and maybe more but I have yet to find a range over 300.

For those who might not know, both the 527 and 550 comes with a set trigger, so nice on the target bench. Gosh, after reading all this praise, CZ should send me a check! LOL

I'm a excited, my 7.62x39mm ammo came in today.... hopefully my 527 Carbine will be in soon!!! I'm thinking about putting a pretty good scope on it, in the near future... does anybody have any suggestions on a good one that won't break the bank?

[221 Fireball]

Depends on what you're going to be using it for mostly. I have a 4x12 Redfield on my 221 in the photo, but I've pretty much gone all Leupold on my other rifles. The Redfield has served well, and there is really no reason to replace it, but if I would, it be a Leupold. Depends on your budget, but for a bit less money, I have had great luck with Burris and Weaver. I put a Weaver Grandslam on my .243 and a Burris on my 7/08...both good scopes.

You'll have to give me a report on that 7.62. I think it would make a handy little deer rifle as a woods gun. Ballistic wise, it should do anything a 30-30 can, out to a 100-150 yards anyway. I've thought of getting one myself for a centerfire plinker. I assume it would shoot surplus military stuff ok, anyone out there try that yet? If it does, that be some cheap shooting!

[Guest msparks]

Would love one if they had some high cap magazines. At least a 10 rounder would be nice.

My CZ 527 Carbine in 7. 62x 39 comes in on Wednesday! The wait is killing me!!!

[Capbyrd]

Don't know if you've seen this.

[221 Fireball]

Yeah, like I said, I love the CZs. I might have to add one of these to the collection. I'm curious of a range report of accuracy from MrBrian, once he mounts a scope. Really interested how tight a group he can get out of some surplus ammo. I think a straight 4 power would be a pretty good choice for the type of close range shooting this carbine would be suited for.

So after almost 2 months of owning the CZ 527 Carbine in 7.62x39mm.... I finally got to shoot it today! Overall, I'm impressed with both the round and the rifle. I haven't put any kind of scope on it yet (due to lack of funds) but I was able to hit my targets without problems... I was shooting steel torso targets, and 12" square targets ranging from 100-150 yards.... Then I shot at an IDPA cardboard target, and was able to hit 4 out of 5 shots within the down 1 area... which I think is pretty good for not having a scope. For me, it kicks just enough to know you're shooting a rifle, but it doesn't push you around. And with the CZ 527 being so light, I could shoot it all day without too much fatigue on my front arm. I did notice that after 25-30 rounds, the ammo wasn't loading in the chamber quite as smooth (i'm guessing because it was getting dirtier) but that's not really a huge deal. If anybody wants to know anything else about my experience, just let me know

BTW, the IDPA target was at about 150-160 yards when I hit the down 1 area
