I have a CZ model 527 FS in .223

i love those CZ rifles.  the receivers are supposed to be some of the best made today.  a buddy of mine has one in 7.62x39, which is a great mid range caliber for that gun. 

the only mauser action rifle i have that isn't milsurp is a Kassnar "Churchhill Highlander" in .308.  It's a beautiful gun, has a spoon bolt.  The receivers and barrels are made by Breda of Italy.  Kassnar only imported them for a short while, and I think they stopped because they underpriced them -- they only go for around 250-300 at gun shows.  no iron sights tho, it is a scope-only gun.

The only thing that would make this a better choice for my purposes was if it was 308 or 7.62x39.

I saw the thing and had to have it. It really is a beautiful piece of workmanship.

I got this used and it came with a scope... Nikon 3-9x...they make good optics generally although I have no experience with anything but their cameras.

The rear sight was removed to mount the scope and it's missing. I bet I could get one.

most of the folks i know who use 7.62x39 for other than plinking use the Mini-30 or the SKS with some tweaks to make up for the shortcomings (i.e. it's a military rifle, not really a truck gun).

AIA from australia made an Enfield based rifle using that round.  Don't know if you like Enfields, but I tried it and loved it.  I already have an Ishapore Enfield in 7.62x51, and I am not looking for another one.  http://www.australianinternationalarms.com.au/product.htm  (they don't currently have a distributor in the USA so maybe not an option for a while...)

.223 in that receiver seems kind of small, but i bet the rifle is rock solid.

I've seen all their work and was very impressed, they really put a lot of finish into them.

It is...and it is.

Still it's fine for varmints large and small and with a well placed shot will drop a deer.

CZ chose a slow twist so anything over 60 grains probably won't be the ticket.

I've only had a chance to fire it a few times but the thing seems very accurate.

Like I said, I saw it and recognized it as a quality piece...had to...couldn't help myself. ;D

around me 223 is banned for taking deer, which is bullshit, but that's the law.  imho, to get a hunting license you should be able to make a kill shot at least 75% of the time in a test, but that's just me (MOST hunters are no problem on this..)  (grumble grumble)

i've tried to explain why 1:9 is different than 1:12 and the response is usually "which is better?"  dor.  just use the right weight for the right twist and be happy.

all of my 223 rifles are 1:9 or 1:8.  i like to shoot heavier projectiles, which are great for <300 yd performance.

223 is legal in NH.

50-55 gr NBT should be just about right for this...for any target.

lucky you.  have to use at least 6.5mm here, but all 22/5mm/223/222/224 are banned for hunting anything bigger than 30 lbs. (or is it 40?  i fergit)

i've never used the NBTs but I hear they are very nice. 

of course, shooting fish is legal in NH too, isn't it?  or is that Vermont?

Finally got around to shooting our inherited Winchester Model 70 in .270 Weatherby Mag this fall -- I didn't draw an elk tag, but a friend did and was sighting in his guns & I tagged along. Fun day of shooting, and then I went to replace the ammo. Sweet mother of... $45-$85 for a box of  20 cartridges!  :o  Guess I'm going to have to learn hand loading...

Other than that, we've got a box-stock 10/22 in the house (though this thread gives me some ideas) and a single-shot lever action 22LR (Ithaca, I think). While out with the .270, I fired my buddy's lever action .44 Marlin, and have become really enamored of the idea of a gun that can plink with .44 special ammo & hunt (at moderate ranges) with .44 magnum.
By hammer and hand all arts do stand.

I'm actually not very round... ;D

We really can't talk about it here but...

Gun ownership is legal.

I bought a nice one. ;)
