I enjoy the Ruger Scout version. Bolt action, box magazines, rugged enough, accurate enough. My grandson was putting lead on steel at the 200 yard target by his 3rd shot.

I have one in 5.56. Nice little rifle.Ruger American Ranch Rifle? Other?
My first .223 bolt was a Savage.. the action was so long you could load 300 grain bullets (lol) extra extra long and still fit in the magazine.For budget friendly, Savage! They even have a 1/8 twist and are chambered to 5.56, there are plenty of stock options and barrels are also easy to change at home!
You should have purchased the Ruger American Ranch. I would have given you an AR mag or twoThx for all the input. I put a search on gunbroker for the CZ 527 Carbine in .223/5.56 and a new one appeared overnight with no shipping fees, no credit-card fees, and priced below MSRP. So I grabbed it.

Congrats on the purchase. CZ makes good stuff.
Gonna trick it out with a Boyd's stock? Optics? Pictures when you finish.
What about contacting the CZ Store and see if you can get on a wait list ?...and no dice. I did the Order, the gun shop charged my card, and then backed out about 4hrs later saying the rifle was on back order. Ummm, yeah OK. So a non-positive rating of the Seller and a complaint to GunBroker.
I will still likely acquire a CZ 527 Carbine.
The 223 Tikkas don't seem to be readily obtainable these days. I almost bought one maybe 18 months ago, but foolishly balked.Tikka does a 1 in 8 twist. The blued versions are still pretty affordable. Mine actually shoots American Eagle 55gr into itty bitty groups.
I hope that you can find a nice CZ rifle that you like....and no dice. I did the Order, the gun shop charged my card, and then backed out about 4hrs later saying the rifle was on back order. Ummm, yeah OK. So a non-positive rating of the Seller and a complaint to GunBroker.
