I purposely gii ok t the thin barrel cut it down to 16 and had twisted flute the crap out of it and the bolt.
Shoots great for some decently long strings

I understand wanting a "handy" little gun, but I want to shoot this gal long range, so I need to keep the 22" barrel.
I really like my Howa 1500 Mini 7.62x39 in a 20"'er.

A CZ 527 varmint is a very "handy" little gun but my AR's with 16" barrels and collapsible stocks are even handier.

I have the CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel & Just re-barreled another CZ 527 in 6mm ARC late last summer. Really liked both. Suspect if the 6mm ARC had came out prior to 6.5mm Grendel I would have never done the 6.5 Grendel. Honestly a lot to like with either chambering. Simply prefer the bullet choices for the 6mm ARC. 108 grain Elite Hunter did more than fine on a 254 yard shot on a very mature midwest 160 class White tail deer.
Either will do fine though I do notice & appreciate the lesser recoil in the 6mm ARC. simply sweet!

I always said that those 6MMs are great for Deer. One of our favorite Deer rifles is a .243win. Currently building several 6MMBRs.
Love the .260rem and the 6.5X284
Thanks for the picture!!!
I have been jumping back and forth on the Grendel vs Arc issue as well. Pretty much decided the Grendel will do everything I want in a AR platform which will probably be bought next month. Still flipping around on a heavier barrel in the 26" minimum range for one of my bolt guns as I do have a 243AI sporter barrel, reamer and dies and tons of brass but the 6ARC keeps calling me simply because of the low recoil and long range capabilities.
I hope you keep us informed of how your Howa shoots.
