From CZ-USA.com: "CZ 527 has won more awards in the 'light rifle' category in Europe than any other rifle - ever. Designed to fit the small base calibers perfectly, the CZ 527 is a true micro length Mauser style action and features controlled round feed, a detachable magazine, hammer forged barrel and single set trigger. The dovetail on all CZ 527's is 16mm.

The CZ 527 Lux , CZ 527 FS and CZ 527 Carbine are traditional European style models featuring open sights and a Turkish walnut stock in the famous Bavarian pattern while CZ 527 American, CZ 527 Varmint and CZ 527 Prestige are models made specifically for the US market with our American customer in mind featuring American pattern stock with 18 LPI checkering."
The CZ 527 is a very reliable rifle due to the Mauser bolt-action, and its relatively simple trigger assembly; Most feel it may load a bit rough, but the action has had practical military reliability testing through two world wars and numerous other engagements.
