I built a gas gun 6ARC a couple of years ago and thoroughly enjoy shooting this cartridge. This site is one that I regularly keep tabs on, and now I thought it was time to join up.
I have been wanting to build a bolt gun to complement the gas gun and reload a common cartridge for both. The CZ527 really piqued my interest, but since they are no longer being made I thought I'd go the Howa mini 1500 route. But I also started monitoring a guntrader group in my state just in case.... Well, behold, now I am the owner of a CZ527 in 6.5 Grendel.
I know there are several here who have made this conversion. Pac-nor seems like one of the popular routes to take. I've checked out their website and there are a number of options available to make decisions on. Therefore I thought it would be prudent to ask about what options did you chose and would you recommend? My use will be largely target plinking with a round of deer hunting in the fall. I favor a bit longer barrel, 20" or better. Anyone using another barrel maker? Finally, if you had to do it over again, what would you have done differently?
I'm retired and I toy decisions are considerably more restricted, but I have the time to patiently put this together (or at least I think I do). So this will take a while for completion. In the interim I will enjoy my gas gun.
Thanks
