Opinion on a rifle

[Richta]

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what you guys think about a rifle i saw on used guns - the cz 527 223 with the custom stainless varmint barrel. im currently in the market for a 223 rifle and i thought it might be a bargain. (i dont have that much money to spend being a poor uni student!) being a new shooter i dont know that much so hopefully i could get some experienced opinions. thanks in advance

cheers

Chris, where is the rifle in relation to where you live? I was semi interested in a rifle off used guns a little while back and made inquiries about the postage and tranfer costs and it would have added about another $80 bucks to the equation. Being that you are of limited funds its something to remember.

a brand new one is $1035 from RPG and the synthetic stock blued version is $900 and something from Horsley park

[trevort]

just had a look, if that was being sold by a forum member and I could trust the history (like rounds thru barrel accuracy claim) and knew who did the work (so i had an opinion of the quality of workmanship) I would buy it.

[Richta]

Thanks for the advice guys. Im in adelaide and its being sold in ballarat so transfer cost would be an issue. Thats good advice trevort, maybe ill just wait.

cheers

if it's the one with $650 on it - a new match barrel is more than that for the barrel cost alone these days
and if the barrel is long enough- it's round count isn't really ans issue as a quick re-chamber job will get you into new metal without much loss of barrel length

P

but crap some of those guns have got tickets on emselves the pricing on them- what a load of crap

Richta,I will be over at the shop which is doing the Transfer this week so may be able to enquire about the CZ for you.Whitty may know the owner even

[Dave.223]

For $650 its probably worth buying. Its a CZ with a stainless varmint barrel and you won't get a better deal than that. Depends also on how long you want to look around.

Those links want us to sign into something microsoft based

Last time I saw them for sale Ruger VT factory barrels went for about $350-- a gunsmith in NSW used to advertise them a lot- peter kay I think his name was

Never owned a Ruger VT- so cannot comment on barrel quality or otherwise

Richta if you have made a link straight from your email account we can not access it. you will need to down load them here or to another web page that can be accessed without a username or password that we do not have.

[Richta]

Soz forgot i linked them to my email here they are

[trevort]

looks like its done some work, blue worn off the bolt knob but then thats why its been rebarreled!

Offer him $575!!!

Its probably worth $650 but its not a screaming bargain!

[Stalker]

Looks like a pro roo shooters ole banger to me. Offer him 550.00
