Re: First blood with new rifle

Nice story Melvin,

I think you're gonna like that 527.

Re: New addition to the arsenal: CZ527 American

The 527 American in 204 has been my favorite calling rifle for the last 2 seasons. Had to remove just a bit of wood from the right forarm to float the barrel. It's grouping in the .6's at 100 and 1.2's at 200 with the 35 berger and BLC2 at 3850fps. I havn't tried H 4895 or RX10x but suspect H4895 ma...
