The start of what will be a CZ addiction. 527 in 22 Hornet :)
« on: December 26, 2011, 03:55:20 PM »
Got a CZ 527 in 22 Hornet.  I love the single set trigger....FANTASTIC for 200 yard shots on squirrels...even with the REALLY light lead free bullets the Poeples Republik of California requires us to use while hunting in the "condor zone"  Actually, this stupid rule is what prompted me to replace my venerable 22lr, for which there really is no GOOD lead free replacement, with the CZ527.

All I can say is WOW.  With Hogdon's LilGun powder, the hornet launches a 30 grain lead free bullet at 3300fps.  Out to 150 yards squirrels can have some pink mist action...150 to 200 it's like they were just hit with a 22lr.  Here are some pics from my last squirrel outing.

200 yards

Me too.  Couldn't come up with a more original name?
