I have the Grendel Ruger. It shoots an easy 1/2" group. Trigger came set at 3 lbs. I managed to set it to 2 lbs. Also shortened the magazine so it holds 2 rnds.

77/22h
I wrote the letter right after the 77/22 LR came on the market. Didn't send it. Found it in the summer of 93 . Wrote another letter and included the original letter with it.

Mark x
Beautiful work JRA. Have you ever mounted a Mini Mark X bottom metal to a CZ 527?I have the bottom metal and CZ but haven't figured out how to matte them together. Would be nice if CZ would do it.

More scopes you might consider are the 2-7x and 3-9x Weaver 22 scopes. Very compact and look good on the CZ's. The crosshairs cover 1/2" at 100 yards, my main reason for using them. Most big game...
