[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 580699, member: 27328"] My Kevlar stocked CZ is a 527 in .223 Rem. It is a prairie dog slayer. With a 9" twist barrel, it also shoots heavy bullets for medium game. The Kevlar stock saves 1/2 pound. Not many heavy barrel varmint rifles come in at 7.5 pounds. The Sako varmint weighs a pound more, and the Savage even more than that. My CZ550 American in 7x57mm has the standard Turkish walnut stock. I quickly worked up a 0.5 MOA load using A-Max bullets and IMR 4064 powder. It took my 250# mulie buck this year. The single set triggers on the 527 and 550 should not be underestimated for long rage shooting. I own 5 CZ firearms, and not a single mechanical problem in many thousands of shots. I would buy the Kevlar if you had to save weight and/or needed the all weather stability. 3 of my 4 CZ rifles have walnut stocks, and they have given no problems so far. Weather is dry here in Montana. Wood does good here. Why would you need a custom barrel? CZ rifles come with great barrels from the factory. Not much chance you will need to work on a CZ. [/QUOTE]
