Hello all

I just received a used CZ 527 in Sunset camo rifle in the 204 ruger. This is a good-looking gun for sure. Previous owner seems to have lost the original rings so I ordered a set of Millett rings from Lock stock & barrel. Bore looks squeaky clean, yet I will still run a few patches through her prior to sighting her in.

Also have a 527 Varmint in 204 Ruger, which shoots a ragged hole w factory Hornady 32 gr v-max with no alterations required. Had my best luck with Sierra 32 gr blitz kings over a hot H4198 charge in the Varmint. The American looks so cute I just had to give her a try.

Have a question regarding bedding and overall accuracy of the 527 American. The previous owner of this rifle seems to have had difficulty w accuracy of this rifle.
Whenthis rifle wasreceived there was a pressure pad at the end of the forearm. I promptly removed the pressure pad and found that the barrel channel had been sanded but not re-sealed. Well the channel was in need of additional relief so out came the 60 grit sand paper & sealer.

With the barrel channel adequately relived and sealed can anyone offer any additional areas one may want to scrutinize while I am waiting on rings? Ill consider re-installing the pressure-pad should I experience poor luck w the properly free-floated barrel.

Thanks for your help.
