    I have the CZ 527 .223 REM with the Walnut stock. Me and my brother sighted it in back in October and free floated the barrel. At that time I didn't seal the wood. Well, I just finished sanding the inside of the stock to a nice finish with very fine grit sand paper and sealed it with several...

    Sighting in CZ 527 .223

    I have sighted in my CZ 527 in .223 with a Leupold VX-R scope. First we sighted in at 40 yards. Since I want a 200 yard zero it should be dead on at around 40. We slowly walked it in with 8 shots using PMC .223 55 grain. Then we had fun shooting that for a while. Then we decided to try all the...

    Info on the CZ 527 Varmint .223 REM

    The CZ rifles chambered for .223 are also good for 5.56 NATO. Directly from CZ USA: For those of us that have 5.56 semi-auto's and would like a bolt action rifle then the CZ is an excellent option in my opinion.

    Zero-ing the Mini 14 Tactical

    I am thinking of zero-ing my Mini-14 for 150 yards. What range do you zero your Mini-14? Anyone using a 150 yard zero? If you are interested I took some screen shots of the ballistics tables calculated for 150 yard zero. It shows the weapon config, ammo info, and then ballistic tables.

    Browning 1911 A1 22LR

    Good Enough?

    For hand guns and long guns both, I have a question about owners and what is satisfactory. One example I will use is satisfactory accuracy.

    Is this a real Aimpoint Comp M4s or a fake?

    Link Removed The photos don't show the "Aimpoint" logo very well. I have emailed the seller and if it is real it is surely sold by now anyway. But in the interim, does it look real?
