[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1611761, member: 11960"] The OP mentioned that he was hoping for 3000 fps a couple of posts in. As far as the powder burn goes, there's a lot of bad information out there about how much barrel length is needed to burn a case full of powder. I won't go off on that tangent here but I have in the past and will again if anyone is interested. The only way to hit 3000 fps from a short barrel is to burn a fair bit of powder. The added expense of burning an extra 5-10gr of powder is negligible and the notion that there will be a horrific fireball of unburned powder at the muzzle is easily disproven by those who've actually done it. Efficiency is great in some situations but in others it's more about performance. The extra muzzle blast caused by a short barrel isn't really an issue here since the OP's whole plan is to run a suppressor. As far as my little CZ in 6.5 Grendel, I had mine built off of a 527 donor rifle in 7.62x39 about 2 years before CZ released theirs. We actually talked to the guys at CZ about it while working with them on a different project and were told that they had a production gun in the works at that time. The overall quality on mine was excellent and the quality of the wood on my stock is well above average for a factory gun in that price point. The only other CZ 527s I've shot and owned have all been manufactured in about the same time frame around 5 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if they let their quality slip on the bolt guns though. They're definitely focusing more on their pistols and the Scorpion line. [/QUOTE]
