looking for a 6.5gr bolt gun

[Sinclair]

CZ says it's perfectly fine and safe to single feed. I have done it a good bit with mine and have had zero problems.

I keep seeing folks say you have too run the bolt with your thumb from the back of the bolt. I have never had to do that and can't understand for the life of me why when someone would have to be doing this. Why you wouldn't try to figure out why and fix it.

But I have said before. If I could take the barrel, trigger and mag from the cz and put it on the howa action. It would be the perfect bolt action grendel.

A5, the fly in the buttermilk is that it is easier to push with your thumb, than to "fix" the problem. On mine, if I apply pressure on the bolt to the left, it feeds smooth as silk. It is just easier to slip the thumb along the bolt handle to about 1/3 the way from the bolt body and just close the bolt with my thumb. The problem is that CZ left the third lug that is hidden under the extractor off of the 527. Too small, cost reduction, who knows, but without it the bolt wants to twist to the right and bind as you push on the handle knob as in a '98 Mauser. Frankly, I have never owned a rifle that did not have some quirk to it, just my luck? I do not know, but it is a very minor issue to me. Improvise, adapt, overcome!

Back on topic, at my age I am too cantankerous to spend a lot of time fiddling with a gun. My CZ came generously insetted. After I shot it few times to confirm it was a keeper, I installed Pilars, let the epoxy cure for a few days, taped the stock, sprayed Spam on all of the metal parts and glass bed the action. It shoots better that I can. My 300 yd 10 round groups are about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 MOA. But, the inner 3 to 5 holes are a clover leaf or at least touching. Good enough for the girls that I hunt with! Would I buy another CZ, YES.
