I made a deal on a used one and very happy, picking it up asap. I did a ton of research since. I was close to ordering a X Bolt lefty in 223 but went this way instead.

They are very well received generally. The CZ527 American is the one with the extended magazine, the American M1 has the 3 shot mag and flush bottom metal. It should have a single set trigger, standard pull is heavier, push trigger forward gives much lighter let off. The American models are equipped as 1 in 12 twist in the 223. The Varmint models are 1 in 9 twist but I haven't seen any in left. The Lux model comes with sights and a European styled stock. The action is a true micro Mauser action with CF. I understand the American models ship with the factory rings but that needs confirming. They did in the past.

Edit: sorry gapped the 204 caliber note.

The main issue for some is the high rings required to get bolt handle clearance, google is your friend. Scopes with large eyepieces or adjusting rings tend to be a concern. The one I'm looking at has a VX-2 3-9X40 Leupold with factory rings and fits.

Please note this is research not experience but the rifles simple lines and Walnut and steel construction caught my eye. CZ's solid reputation sold me.
