What's Included
- 1x 5-round detachable steel single-column magazine
The 24-inch heavy/varmint-profile barrel is cold hammer-forged, free-floating, and finished with a recessed crown. It is marked .17 HORNET and 1:9, matching the provided twist rate. This setup is designed to deliver consistent barrel harmonics and precise bullet stabilization with this chambering.
The action is the CZ micro-Mauser design with controlled-round feed and a non-rotating claw extractor. Feeding is from a detachable single-column magazine with a published capacity of 5+1. The receiver is marked "CZ 527 VARMINT" with the CZ logo and features integral 16 mm two-bridge dovetail scope bases. There are no iron sights.
The trigger is CZ's single-set trigger (SST), user-adjustable for a tuned pull when desired. This arrangement provides a crisp break for deliberate shots while retaining a standard trigger mode for general use.
The American-pattern walnut stock has a straight comb with cut checkering on the grip and forend, a rubber buttpad, and sling swivel studs. Length of pull is 14.0 inches, and the rifle is a full-size configuration that balances well with the heavy barrel.
Proof and origin details include Czech proof marks and a two-digit '19' year-of-proof stamp, with "MADE IN CZECH REPUBLIC" marking. The model line was discontinued in 2021, making this configuration increasingly hard to source new.
