I think the real issue here is that you have a shotgun for defence against slugs and grouse. Both are not typically that dangerous.
Talk me out of buying a CZ 527 7.62x39 carbine.

A centerfire rifle that is accurate, powerful and reliable should be in the hands of every Gunnut. Sadly, while your choice of rifle is a good one, your choice of cartridge is lacking. While a powerful cartridge can be down loaded to accomplish the same niche as the light rifle, the light rifle has not the range or power to be as versatile as the large. Any cartridge from the 6.5X55 to the .30/06 is money better spent if you are to own but a single centerfire rifle, and handloading will provide the maximum versatility.
Good lord, where are you hunting women and children?
I too am afraid of flying squirrels, this thread has piqued my interest.
I'd say YES, but you mentioned possibly shooing ("shooing" - not "shooting") a bear for around your poophouse, I'd suggest something with a mite more force than a 7.62x39 in case he needs to go more urgently than you. Or at least using decent handloads with real bullets (try to close on .30-30 power levels with a 150gr cup-and-core handload, that'll do nicely at close range).
+1. Blaming the Czechs for formerly being part of the Soviet Bloc is like blaming the victim for getting mugged, only on a larger scale.
I'm pretty happy with my CZ 527 Varmint in .223. Even with a heavy barrel, it still weighs only a little bit over 8lbs scoped. The 7.62x39 carbine looks like a neat little gun that's cheap to feed. Just clean the bore with water or a water based cleaner after shooting corrosive ammo.
The carbine model is definitely best suited to iron sights, given the stock design and the fact that high rings are required for most scopes to clear the bolt handle without modification.
The triggers on these rifles tend to come from the factory with some creep in the un-set mode, but this is easily adjusted out.
Yawnzzzzzzzzz
Oh, we have some pretty badass snails at the lake, pal. As for the chickens, it's more that they're just rude.
Since you seem to like vegetables, though, tell me: Would a 527 carbine be a good squash defense rifle? Because I'm fricken' terrified of squash.
The grouping moves a bit but stays tight no matter ammo I've fed it. I've put a scope onto it a month or two back, but haven't had the chance to tune it up. It seems to punch paper further than it has energy.
Its a really well made firearm in my opinion, but just a bit on the light side. Its the rifle where my woman learned to shoot well without getting all bruised up. For a small person or junior who is just learning, its not intimidating to shoot. She weighs less than 110 , but she's looking into something a little more power now, perhaps .308 Win in a light load to get a little more energy a bit further out.
"Yes, I know... Now I have to eat it.... Eh? You mean, NOW now??"
Thanks for the evidence. And good on 'er.

In all sincerity, I've been wondering about the '92 clones. .357 would be best for me, because I have dies, assloads of brass, powder, recipes, and experience with it and .38 Special.
