There's a few others on here that have them as well that I'm aware of. @Happy and @Philipo also have CZ527's and love them too, as I spoke with each of them before I got mine.

Amaising performance for the size of the case/bullet. I'm handloading with 20gr ZMax handloads at 3750 fps with CFEBLK. It's a bloody laser beam to 200 yards.

I shot 50 odd rabbits over over weekend with it out to 200 yards. Any misses would be me not the rifle. It's a devastating round.

It's accurate, more so that the 17hmr imo but that may depend on the individual rifles eh.

No recoil so you can watch your hits in the scope which I find quite rewarding. It's an epic fun round and I like the CZ 527.

I believe Anshutz are chambering for 17 Hornet now.
