- Join me as I steal some of my kid's candy and take it out to the range! Using my CZ 527 American in 22 Hornet, I set up three lollipops at 100 yards and see if I can hit all three within five rounds.

When I heard it is a CZ rifle, I knew it would not even be a challenge to make the hits.
I own a CZ 550 in 9.3x62 Mauser from brand new that is as accurate as any High-end custom rifle.
I actually have trusted my life to this CZ rifle when I am an Alaskan hunting guide.
Thanks for watching Lure! I bet you have some great stories from your days guiding in Alaska. My father in law has hunted up there many times but I have not had the opportunity yet.
The 527 is the best rifle ever! All mine in various calibers have either 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch consistently. Everything is stock, just add scope. I was really disappointed when they discontinued them.
Thanks for watching RayRay! It really is a shame they stopped producing them. I was hoping CZ would come out with something similar, but so far I haven't seen anything yet.
Five shots, two nicks, three solid hits. Good shooting. Thanks for sharing that CZ rifle. Nice!
Funny story; I was working in Downtown Courts and we got a last minute preliminary hearing. A DV case involving an elderly Hispanic couple but the husband/defendant was out of custody, so of little security concern. The hearing got underway and I reached over and found an old back issue of SHOOTING TIMES on my shelf and I started to finally educate myself about the .22 Hornet cartridge on company time. BUT WAIT! Only a paragraph in the defendant is causing an outburst, in Spanish, and our court certified interpreter was trying to repeat the words in English, which is her job, but it made no sense. And the wife said something that she had been trying to tell the police that he was "crazy" but they didn't listen. I never did get to finish that article because I did have to get back to work. The judge laughed at me after the hearing about how casually I threw the magazine back on the shelf as I jumped up.
That's a great story! Those DV cases can get pretty hairy quick. Sounds like grandpa is going to get a competency hearing. Glad it didn't escalate.
The hornet is a great round. One that has been a staple for farmers and ranchers all around Texas. Many old timers would hunt whitetails with them. Although I don't think that is kosher under current hunting regulations.
I became interested in getting something I could shoot more accurately than a 22 magnum out to 150 yards without having to deal with the noise or recoil of a 223.
This is awesome, I tape coins to my targets and if there not blown into oblivion they make a nice necklace. With the wmr, that hornet is nice
Thanks Bryant! In one on my first videos, I used this rifle to hit a quarter and nickle at 100 yards. Drilled through both. It's a great CZ rifle. Shame they discontinued it.
Love the .22 hornet. Had it in a savage over under with a 16 gage
That sounds like a great combination! 16 gauge for birds and close varmints and the hornet for long distance shots. I need to google that. Would love to see what it looks like.
😮those are getting hard to find!!
You hit every round. Just nicked the 2nd shot and grazed the 4th
Thanks Mark! I saw that after reviewing the video. Really love that rifle. Makes me look good!
Nice shootin tex'
Thanks Andy! Although I have to give the credit to the rifle. It makes me look good.
Lol wind is never our friend Nice job👍👍👍
Thanks Vinny!
Give the lollipops a chance and move them out to 150. I have a Ruger that I used pop the little BB gun orange disks with at 150. A lot of fun and don't have to lie to the kids about the candy. I converted it to 17 Ackley Hornet so it makes a bigger explosion now. Still have the 22 barrel so it may go back some day.
Thanks for watching James! I should start trying at longer ranges. Or try other targets.
I've heard great things about the Ackley Hornet. But I expect you probably reload. That is one of my shortcomings which restricts me to calibers I can buy ammo for.
Impressive
Thanks Justin! Although that rifle really makes its shooter look good.
Awesome shooting! 👌
Thanks John! I appreciate your kind words.
Yes
I want a hornet
I want a 222 and a 22 hornet
I have one in Savage and l love it because it shoots so good ....
Thanks for watching John! I've heard the Savage in 22 hornet is super accurate!
I don’t have a 22 hornet rifle yet but me and my uncle got my little 22lr dialed in nice. At 100 yards my uncle can hit the thin side of a lighter. Pretty damn accurate.
That sounds great! CZ rifles really are the best bang for your buck.
@@texmexshoots I was just looking cz discontinued it in 2021 now the going rate is about 1300$
@@doomguy584 Wow! It is sad that they discontinued such a classic rifle. I hope they end up replacing it with something from their new line of rifles. However I don't see any mini action yet in their 600 series.
@@texmexshoots savage still makes one I guess I'll have to get one from them but my first choice would have been cz
I saw a you tube hunting video in new Zealand..one guide uses a 222 Remington
It's that I have heard of hunting experiences using a 222 and they are all positive. In new Zealand the guides ( roebucks hunters) use the 222 Remington. Check video outlook
I'll check them out. Thanks for the info Grady!
I can hit bottle caps at 100yards with cheap ppu .22 hornet ammo. My is also is a Cz 527 awesome gun
Thanks for the info! I need to get some of that PPU Hornet ammo and try it out of my rifle.
That PPU brass is pretty decent too if you handload
The one thing I hate about the 22 Hornet is the bolt. When you pull the bolt back, it is extremely high and doesn't leave much space between it, and the scope. This is especially a problem if you have bigger hands.
CZ's are notorious for tight clearances between scope objective and bolt handle. You have to make sure to get the right rings.
There are solutions...GLADES Armory sells better bolt handles that work.
@@alexm2833 Thanks for the info Alex!
NICE!
I was wondering when you were gonna do some more CZ527 Hornet videos.
I`ve got the CZ527 American 22 Hornet too. It is my MOST FAVORITE rifle i own. At 100yds, one hole groups with my own reloads.
I checked out the CZ600`s. Didn`t set me on fire though. I think CZ made a big mistake discontinuing the 527. Heard alot of grumbling on the CZ forums about it.
Wouldn`t mind seeing a nice highly figured walnut stock CZ600 in a few calibers like 22 Hornet, 223, 22-250, 6mm, 6.5 Creedmore, of course 24 inch heavy barreled ones, for me.
Did you ever see a heavy barrel version of the 22 Hornet? I wonder if they were every made. I was considering getting a 527 in 7.62x39 right as they were discontinued. Really is sad they decided to do so. I think they may have also made the 527 in 6.5 Grendel? However I already had put together a Howa mini-action 6.5 G for my daughter as a deer rifle.
6mm for sure!
Hey Derp
I have the 527 lux
What is your load that youre using?
I think it was a bad idea for CZ to discontinue the 550 line of rifles.
I own from Brand new a CZ 550 in 9.3x62 Mauser I have used many years as my own large game rifle to being used on the Alaskan Brown bear and Yukon moose hunts, I guided client on for their hunts.
I have bought and sold so many rifles with this CZ 550 in 9.3x62 Mauser is the most accurate of all commercial rifles I have bought, and I am now 63 years old, and I grew up on a farm with guns used weekly.
I used to like the Remington 700 rifle then the quality fell off into the toilet with accuracy equivalent to a garbage rod Mosin junk gun!.
The last Remington 700 I bought was a Classic in 300 Wby mag that was so badly made the steel has machining marks all over and the stock was also sandpaper marks with the only reason I bought it was a friend working in a sporting goods store told me he would mismark the price of the gun down to $200 dollars then I was to come in at 1pm to buy it after the friend told the store manager he quiet !
Looking back on it maybe I should have not sold the rifle then used the action for a new rifle build with a High end barrel like from Pac Nor.
Six white tails have fallen in their tracks from my 527/ Leupold setup. Easily the most accurate rifle I own. Hornet to the head = no meat damage and no tracking a wounded animal. (and no hearing damage)!
Thanks for watching SBarsinister1! The 22 hornet has been a staple for ranch hands and farmers here in Texas since the mid 1900's. Great for troublesome varmints and very popular for putting meat on the table.
When you’re waiting for the wind to calm down always carry a kite. Then act like you’re going to fly it in the wind will stop. Works every time.
😂 LOL!
quick question mate , i have a similar leupold scope and a cz 527 in 22 hornet , (4.5-14x50) and was wondering what size of mounts you are using here ?
Hey there General! I tried looking for the original box but I must have binned it. However if I remember correctly they are medium height Talley rings.
@@texmexshoots thanks bud , i just ordered some medium height warnes ! so they should fit , did you ever get any problems with the bolt handle clearance on the scope ? happy shooting !!
@@texmexshoots ignore that second question mate , just watched another of your videos and seen that you have clearance , Not much but enough , thanks again
@@WesterlyWilderness Yeah, the tight fit seems to be a common CZ issue. I have a 452 in 22 mag and the bolt handle barely clears the scope. Make sure to check the clearance when you mount the scope. I had to set mine back a bit.
@@texmexshoots I will do , also seen that Glades armoury does 527 aftermarket bolt handles to get around this problem aswell if it needs to come to that .
What model scope are you using? TIA
Hey there Raymundo! I have an old used Leupold Vari-X III I was able to buy off a friend. It's the 4.5-14 X 40 with the adjustable objective.
my first ever gun was 22 hornet
It's a great round to start with! Thanks for watching.
My daughters 7 & 9 doing this today with my childhood rifle. Their first year with tags. 😢
Thanks for watching Shawn. Hope you and your daughters have a fruitful season!
That was great now do it again with 22 shorts .
Thank you kindly Mr. Franklin! If I try it with 22 shorts, I will have to shoot them more like a mortar than a bullet 😅
@@texmexshoots
Seems I have the same problem. It's easy after you have done it for a while. It's the first 100 rounds or so that's hard. It's really not something you can aim and hit with. It's more like lobbing them over there to see where they go but it still a lot of fun. I have even done it with B-Caps and you can hear them when they hit the target.
@@benjimenfranklin7650 You have me interested. Think I still have a few boxes of 22 shorts around here somewhere.
I could do this all day long with my Anschutz and reloads, it's one hole groups, just how like my chicks as well 🤭
I bet! An Anschutz in 22 hornet must be an amazing rifle!
Loli pops take a lickin' but keep on tickin'. Or something.
Yup!
Yo where did you find the bullets for that thing there so hard to find
Thanks for watching Bradley! I had to scour the internet to find some 22 hornet ammo online. This was a couple of years ago not long before I posted that video. I haven't looked recently but if you look hard enough you might find some out there. I recommend using "ammoseek" or "ammobuy" to see who has some in stock.
Nice rifle!
Thank you Tim. She has a classy look and fun to shoot. It's a real pity CZ discontinued the model.
Hello:::
My dear friend, thank you
About this beautiful movie
I love this gun but in
My country is not available 0! price Please
How much does it cost to buy this gun?👍👍👍
Thank you for watching Jalal. Normally these rifles were priced somewhere between $600 on the low end and $700 on the high end.
Do a video on the 222 soon
I'm trying to get out this weekend to shoot some videos. Due to family and work, I can only escape out to the country about once a month if I am lucky. When I go, I try to record about 3 or 4 videos worth of footage. Then edit them when I get back home and release a video every couple of weeks.
@@texmexshoots of the 222?
@@gradyhernandez4699 I'm going to try and get a video with the Sako 222 filmed this weekend and posted soon.
Can you find 22 hornet ammo in your area?. Not in my area
Thanks for watching Dick! Unfortunately I haven't seen much on store shelves. All the 22 hornet I've bought for the last couple of years has been online. Even then you have to keep an eye out to find it.
I may be selling some soon. I have 3 or 4 boxes of factory I am going away from. (Going to do hand loads).
What range???
The targets were set up at 100 yards. Or are you asking what shooting range was I using?
Also came in 6.5 Grendel
How could I forget! Before I had purchased my Hornet I put together a 6.5 Grendel Howa Mini-Action for my daughter. It's a great rifle but I wish I had gotten the CZ!
