+1 for the CZ 527.
I have a .223 Kevlar Varmint HS Precision stock version with a 1:9 twist and it shoots great. I love the set trigger for testing loads on the bench. It breaks at a very nice 1 lb 6 oz and the factory trigger is a crisp 3 lbs and perfect for the field. No need to even bother adjusting it.
The first group out of the box was 0.238 with 52 grain SMKs.
Since then I have tried 50, 52, 55, 60, 63 and 65 grain bullet loads and I have 20 hand loads with those weights that all have group averages under 0.45 inches with the best 25 groups from 0.116 to 0.213. I have shot 469 measured groups through the CZ and it shoots as good now as it did when I shot that first group.
I have never had another rifle shoot so well across such a wide variety of bullet weights.
