Ok, stock material question:
Picked up a used CZ 527 in .22 Hornet w. a Weaver Grand Slam 3-10x40 in quasi-NIB shape (surprising for a rifle made in 97) for very cheap at the local Gander Mountain (think it was mislabeled) and it runs beautifully but it has an unusual wood stock.
It's the Lux style stock (hump back w. a nice cheek welding comb, rifle has irons) but it's much lighter in color than any of the walnut stocks I've seen from CZ (though it's darker than maple). I thought it might be beech but the grain patterns don't seem to fit. I'm certain it's an actual CZ stock (checkering and style/form) as well and it actually looks pretty neat but it's driving me crazy not knowing what it's made of.
Anyone know if CZ used different woods for their stocks back then (1997, pre CZ move KS City era) or if they offered replacement stocks later on in different lighter wood?
On a side note, anyone have any recs. on a good commercial varmint round for it? Only have the cheap Prvi stuff for now...
