I like that little deer/ pig/ varmint rifle. Especially the hogback stock. Nice!
Nice. I pick up a 223 Carbine on Friday.

Yup,the FS models are pretty.
I almost got one but wanted the longer barrel so got the "regular" 527 in 223. It has the hump stock,slow twist..... Had a scope on it for about 10 years,then took it off. Mine loves cast and is a great shooting rig.Am sure you're going to get lots of enjoyment out of your 527!
Am debating with myself whether to take the scope off because any scope, even a small one like the Weaver V3, changes the lines of the rifle. I may try a red dot with low mount such as a Sig Romeo 5 or a Holosun 503, or any of the model that does not have a big battery knob on the side. Barrel length is 20.5" with a 1 in 9" rate of twist.
I like red dot scopes for under 100 yards. For distance shooting i like traditional. Then when the gun gun has iron sights. I like the see through scope rings. That way i use the irons for up close. I have a marlin 60 that is sighted in for 200 yard competition shooting. Never did the comp. Weather stopped it every time the gun club planed them. But any way i use the irons for plinking. Added a bipod since the pic was taken.
That is definitely a nice, clean look, but it would not be as clean on the 527 FS because of the euro 16mm dovetail. It does not appear that anyone makes a 16mm dovetail low mount for a T1 type red dot. So what I did was to purchase a slide-on picatinny base from DIP, Inc. It is a neat set up, but it does add some height to the set up.
EAW makes a QD version, so it does have the lever (They make it with a knurled thumb nut too), but that makes it nice to switch to sights at any time. It does have to be ordered from Europe, but I have not had trouble doing that in the past.

Yep, the 16.5mm version that EAW makes will work. Pricey but a clean set up. Thanks.

Just my opinion, but that scope looks better on that rifle than any RD sight will. Plus it offers long range precision aiming.

I do agree that the RDS isn't the most aesthetically pleasing, but mine is a carbine, and will only be used out to 150 (and mostly 50 or less). The micro does weigh a lot less, and when it is mounted on the front bridge you really have a quick shooting setup.

Understanding it was now or never I acquired a CZ 527 223 FS about a week ago. Plan to mount a Leupold 2-7x VX1 on it. Going to use Warne quick detach mounts. Figure it will be flat shooting out to 200 yards which is fine. 1 in 9 twist leaves plenty of options open.
This feels like a great rifle.
Muy bueno!
Tejano, thanks, we agree on nice rifles apparently getting them at close to the last moment. The detach rings is to make it easy to move a scope from one 527 to another making them more versitle. Let me know how yours shoots. It will be a month or so before I get to try mine.
That looks nice. The NECG is a nice one too.
