527 all the way, plus on the CZ you get a fair bit more quality of fit and finish. (More class too.)
True.
I've had a 700 in a Fireball and feeding and ejection were both problematic.
The CZ I had was perfect in feeding, extraction and ejection.
I believe I read something about CZ re-introducing a production run on the .221 Fireball sometime in the near future. Maybe checkout discussions on rimfirecentral.com (go to centerfire section). It is a great caliber, only drawback would be availability of brass and associated costs.
Is .221 FB ammunition still made commercially ,or is it re-load only ? I have a .222 Rem. , love that round and plenty of ammo made for it (Hornady ,Win and Rem. found locally)
I have always had a thing for different calibers and varmint rounds ,so the .17 Hornet is next in line for me (gonna need a source for ammo first... lol)
Although my .22 Hornet is not the best of tack drivers ,It is fun to shoot and when you consider how old that round is ,it`s not bad and still chambered and plenty of ammo (although not cheap).
My brother has a .220 Swift ,very nice ,fast and a tack driver.
.218 Bee would be cool to have too ,and still commercial ammo to be had.
Hope you find or order a rifle (Cooper`s are very nice and a bit pricey ,but beautiful guns!)
