I've stopped by CZ's booth at SHOT continuously for the past many years. I remember in 2012, I think it was, telling them they have a real winning combination with the 527 and Grendel, because everyone I knew at that time with one ordered the x39 only to have the barrel pulled, and rebarreled in 6.5 Grendel, which is a no-brainer.
Everyone that did that loved the combination. The guy that really turned me on to Grendel back in 2004 did a CZ527 Varmint HS, and was getting some crazy speeds with 123gr Scenar.
Anyway, when I told CZ that they might want to seriously consider 6.5 Grendel, since they already have the bolt, they said they were more likely to do a 6.8 SPC. It took them a while to finally see the light, and I'm glad they made this move, because these are already selling like crack.
