CZ 527 17 Squirrel

These groups were shot at 100 yards with a CZ 527 in 17 Squirrel with a Douglas XX stainless 9 twist barrel. 20 gr V-Max and Ramshot Enforcer powder. This was done with 12x Leupold fine duplex scope and off a harris bipod. So far ive shot two Fox squirrels and two crows with it. One crow was over 200 yards away! I like this little gun alot for what i do.

Looks to be a shooter for sure! I'll bet there would be a lot of interest if some viewers could see what the
17 squirrel cartridge looks like as well.;):) Have you tested for velocity? Again good shooting man!:D
 
Nice shooting Hillbilly! I have a Browning Abolt in 22mink, it’s a lot of fun. I’ve been wanting to get one of the squirrels in 17 or 22.

Did you have yours built? Does it feed or do you use it as a single shot. My mink feeds ok, not as smooth as I would like it too.

I threaded and chambered the barrel. It feeds ok. I have had a 22 Fox Squirrel in the past thats about like a mink. 1.10 length on the brass. Ive also had 22 Squirrel. This 17 squirrel is Shooting as good as any 17 ive had. I will test speed of this soon
 
Great pictures man! What I really like about the small cartridges is most are inherently accurate
with practically no recoil so you can always see your hits. Also they are perfect for shooters who like
to shoot a lot as they don't cost as much for components...what's there not to like!:D
 
Have you ever messed with a single shot in these mink/squirrel calibers Hillbilly, something like a low wall or a TC? I’m wanting to build a 17 squirrel too. Thanks for the thread, good stuff.
 
I have not personally had any experience with single shot rifles as you speak but i know several who have TC in 17 Squirrel caliber and they do very well.
 
Any issues feeding that tiny case?????

How loud ( quiet ) is that thing???? 7.4gr. of powder.....:)
