I posted a while ago that I would like a smaller rifle for Javelina hunting. I was discussing it with a hunting buddy of mine, who is of Czech decent, and he convinced me that my next firearm purchase should be a CZ for their excelent quality and good prices.
The CZ-527 Lux looks very nice. It's comes with a nice walnut stock, open sights, and it comes in .223, which would be a very good round for javelina. With a price tag of only $449.95, it's a very attractive buy. I haven't held one yet since I can't find a store in town that carries them, but it's not too far of a drive to find one.
But, I was also thinking about applying for a HAM permit (handgun, archery, and muzzleloader) and a CZ-75B in .40 S&W would work very well for that. I went to a few gun stores today and looked at the CZ-75s. I was impressed. All steel construction, it felt great in my hand, it was well balanced, heck the only thing negative thing I could find were the plastic grips, but those can easily be replaced with rubber or walnut. It has a price tag of $398.50.
I'm pretty set on getting a CZ and I'd like to get one before they realize that they aren't charging enough. I'll most likely end up with both eventually, but I'll just start with one for now. I'm really just looking for opinions of what other people would do if this was their choice. I already have a 30-06, a .22 rifle, and a shotgun. I'm leaning towards the pistol since I think it would round out my small gun collection nicely.
What do you think?
Thanks,
