The gunsmith was Lee Trengrove in QLD, aka Trentech Gunsmithing.

It started life as a CZ 527 lux from frakka on here, it has since had:

A Maddco barrel fitted at 23 inches in with a big caliber hole in it, chambered in 223 rem, 1-10 twist rate.
A stock imported out of america, just a cz 527 classic stock, it's getting a manners when they make them, I spoke to manners earlier and they said they were in prototyping stage.
Cerakoted and microslicked action.
Main trigger adjusted to 2LB, set trigger adjusted to 8 oz.
Skim bedding job.

That's about it I think :wink:

Bloody oath Lee is great to deal with, I recommend him to anyone, exceptional service in my opinion, mate, a Kahles Helia C 2.5-10x50, if it's too overbearing, I have a Kahles Helia CT 3-9x42 which was for my 358, but will go on this if need be.

But now the rifling is wrong! It'll upset the accuracy.

Fit a northern hemisphere barrel then. The coreolis effect is reversed in the southern hemisphere. Should work out fine!

Can I swap the barrel around, put the crown at the reciever end....cheaper than a northern hemisphere barrel.
