Default Cz 527 25-20

Considering a 25-20 on a CZ. This shouldn’t be much different than my 218bee/527 build should it?

Any help is appreciated

I have thought that a 25-20 would be good in a bolt action. My 25-20 is a heavy barrel G2 Contender. A friend had a Kimber of Oregon in 25-20, too rich for my budget. I have some 527s, hadn't thought of converting one. What 527 was the basis for the Bee conversion? Was it difficult and or expensive? I will be following this thread!

Gary, not a big deal if you have a good gunsmith. Eddie opened up Hornet actions for my 218 and 25-20. And no it doesn't feed from the magazine.

Well it looks like I better start looking for a donor 527... or at least a barrel and make the killer bee a switch barrel.

I opened up my own bolt face but don’t have access to the equipment any longer.

I was also thinking about having Bullberry make me a barrel to maybe ease the ‘wants’ a little bit..

Thanks

Just another thought Gary and one that would probably feed from the magazine, its been discussed before but what about a 25 cal on a 221 fireball case, I know the lack of lightweight bullets is a pain but as your going to be using 25-20 style bullets 60 grn or similar it might work well
