I’ve had a few CZ 527s. I’m down to one in 17 hornet currently. I’m considering this as the base gun pretty hard right now but the safety is backwards as most of you know already.
Anyone have any thoughts on the Howa Mini? $1500 or so is what I’m trying to stay within but willing to go more if necessary.

I think that Howa and CZ are similar. However, CZ wins out because there are a number of aftermarket stocks, fine factory trigger, quality metal magazines, and gunsmiths familiar with working on them. Howa has been plagued with QC issues around their plastic magazines, with touchy reliability for feeding rounds. There are some threads on the Howa Mini-actions challenges. I keep waiting for an aftermarket metal magazine so that I can pull my Howa Mini out if its box and start shooting it.
