What’s Included
- CZ 527 American .221 Fireball bolt-action rifle
The CZ 527 uses a micro-length Mauser-type action with controlled-round feed and a large claw extractor, tailored to the compact .221 Remington Fireball cartridge. It offers a 5+1 capacity and is known for smooth cycling and reliable extraction in this small, efficient chambering.
The 21.9-inch steel barrel is cold hammer-forged with a sporter profile and a recessed crown. The receiver is blued and machined with integral 16 mm dovetail scope bases. This configuration ships without iron sights, leaving the top clean for mounting rings compatible with the dovetail.
The American-pattern walnut stock features a straight comb, checkering at the grip and forend, a checkered pistol grip, sling swivel studs, and a rubber buttpad. Length of pull is 13.75 inches. A single-set trigger and two-position safety round out the handling features.
Finished in a classic blued treatment, this rifle carries C.I.P. proof marks and a CZ-USA, Kansas City, KS import mark. Manufactured in the Czech Republic, the CZ 527 line was produced from 2002 to 2021 and discontinued in 2021, making clean examples like this notable to buyers who value the platform.
