Is anyone familiar with the CZ 527 ? I was looking at one in a shop the other day and they look nice but I've heard they have problems with the stock cracking behind the receiver tang

 

thanks

Yes, the Model 457 (I have The Scout - the compact version). If there was an issue with stocks cracking, I doubt it would happen with the light rifle anyway - more likely the heavier models. Though I also read up on the bigger caliber models and don't remember reading anything about that! In fact, most of what I've read and heard is that the CZ is a very good manufacturer that turns out well-made products. 

I would think if CZ had a known issue, they would have resolved it. 

 

Besides, if you had to send it back to them, CZ probably will send it back to you better then new.
