I recently took my scope off the gun, but I had a Leupold 2.5-8 on there.
6.5 G is one of the least expensive premium factory rounds available, but is still more than the Ruski. I paid about $17 for 20 rds of Hornady match ammo, 123g Amax. Extremely accurate, and fine for deer.
Less than a buck a round for premium rifle rounds. Pretty damn good. Plinking ammo must be fairly affordable.
Does this still feed in the mags that come with the CZ?

The 527 carbine is a great little rifle. Here's a pair of Brockman rifles; top is a 7.62X39 scout with custom irons and an Aimpoint. This is my truck gun in CT. Accurate, easy to shoot, very durable with a super-strong Mauser-style true CRF action; if you want to spend most of your time blasting away at the range, or want to take a practical rifle course, the ammo cost won't kill you. No problem with short-range deer hunting. Bottom is a 6.5 Grendel with a 20" Walther barrel and a Leupold 3-9X. Sub-MOA at 400. The single-set triggers on these guns are just outstanding. Two issues; with a receiver mounted scope in the CZ rings, the factory bolt handle can have clearance issues with certain scopes. Easy enough to swap out the handle for a replacement like the one from Custom Reloading Tools, but I found the change in bolt handle length and shape to screw up the super-fast bolt throw of the factory unit. Better to select a scope with no interference. Second, the safety is the weakest part of this action. It is backwards from what I consider to be the standard: the Winchester Model 70. With the M70, or even the Remington 700, you take off the safety by pushing it forward with your thumb as you mount the rifle. The 527 must be pulled to the rear, which takes some getting used to. It is a 2-position safety and is a bit stiff, at least it has been on the 5 rifles I've owned. Nonetheless, the 527 carbine has a lot going for it.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
