NICE!

I wish those were still available.

I love the CZ 527, BUT the Zastava M85 has a few KEY "LIKES" going for it that I really wish the CZ had, like B&C made sporter-weight stocks for them and a
FIXED, INTERNAL box magazine, flush bottom/easy topping off from above, no magazine to lose or damage,...

Those features really sets the Zastava apart in a very positive way. I've never heard of anything but good accuracy from them and they are GOOD-LOOKING guns.

I have all I need, so I won't be bidding against anyone here, but if there were any who didn't know/hadn't thought about about these wonderful features - there they are.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the Zastava can be easier to mount a scope to, being D/T'd and allowing for the use of many, MANY different rings.  The CZ also has a bolt-handle/scope clearance quirk to me mindful of, but not a huge deal.

Not to berate the CZ - but to highlight some really neat things about the Zasavas.

Jeff where do I send the check?

And strangely enough the he CZ has a larger barrel thread. But you can do a 22–250 in a mini mark X. And a longer cartridge.
And yes the lack of a box magazine is my biggest peeve.

I need someone to rebore and rechamber my 527/223 to 25x45 or 25/223.

I talked to Gary Reeder about putting a new barrel in .257 Raptor on a CZ 527 and he said it wouldn’t be a problem. Not sure about reboring. I don’t thin JES does any small bores. The .257 is a great choice since it is a .204 Ruger necked up

I almost yanked it with that 22 Nosler post. No more new calibers. I'm already capable of not doing with what I now have.
