CZ 527 Trigger Question

Me too

One pound on the main trigger is pretty good of a weight, at least for varmint shooting.

Danny

The absolute best inmo, not for novice shooters, takes some getting used to if you've never shot one.Personally being a varmint shooter only ,I believe there's no better trigger,could be wrong than the CZ set.

 

[L.Sherm]

The 527 trigger is already a single stage trigger as you get it from the factory.

Danny

CZ produced both. Ive got both.
Well wether you call it a single or double, ive got ones that you push forward and ones that you can't by CZ.
Maybe not a " true" double stage trigger i just referred to them as such because they are 2 stages to the ones you can push forward.
Maybe they should be referred to as single set and double set.

Ok, thanks for the explaination. The only thing I can figure out from that is that you have CZ 527s with a normal trigger and CZ 527s with a single set trigger, but both of them are single stage.

[L.Sherm]

Yes, I have single set and double set 527 triggers.
I rarely use the double set ones

So, you have a third type, too, double set triggers, triggers that have two trigger levers?

Are the double set triggers on a Cz527? I never saw one those but I know the pre CZ Brnos had them and they used up all the leftover parts when they changed over from Brno to CZ ,,

As far as I know, there are no double set triggers on any CZ 527s and that they are only found on Brno rifles, but who knows for sure. L.Sherm says that he has single and double set triggers on CZ 527s, as well as triggers with no set feature. If CZ 527 double set triggers exist, I sure would like to have one. That's a very good question.

No, ones you can push forward if you want and ones you cant.
CZ refers to the one you push forward as Double set- single stage.
If my terminology isn't correct then my bad.

Ok. If it has 1 trigger you push forward to set I call that a single set and when you have 2 triggers to set 1 and then pull the other to fire is what I’d call a double set

Semantics as I think we all know what the other is referring to.

Not to add to more confusion and since CZ offered their 527's with both I refer to the 527's as those with a "set" trigger and those without. The vast majority of the 527's, at least the ones I've seen, have the "set" trigger in them.

It's a personal choice and I've said this before but like L.Sherm I don't like using the "set" feature on my 527's for a couple of reasons. Pushing the trigger forward to set it moves the rifle and once I get it positioned that slight movement annoys me and the other is it pushes the trigger to far forward and puts it in an odd uncomfortable location. With the factory spring, unless you modify it, you can't really get the pull lb's down very low so I've changed the spring in every one of the 527's I have had and tuned them to break right around 10-14 ounces without using the "set" feature.

The 527's I've kept are my two Varmint model 17HH's. Had one in 17 Rem and 204 also Varmint models and they were good little shooters. Since CZ stopped making them the prices have gone crazy on these things. They're a relatively nice little rifle but no where near worth the prices they are fetching now days.

 

[Gabe22BR]

Especially since ya can’t get parts, or mags for them..

@B23 was on the money as regards Timney triggers . Timney lists the 550 , I have one fitted to my 527 , adjusted down to a recommended minimum of 1 1/2lbs . It should be noted that the Timney to fit the 550 Magnum will foul the trigger guard . I downloaded the schematic for the CZ550/527 they use the same trigger group .

I'm one of those who didn't gel with the SST , it sits in a draw . Just in case !

Other than the duel trigger version, I didn't realise there was an alternative to the SST .

I only know what has been written. I don't interpret. If someone comes along here and says that he (or she) has a red composite stock on his varmint rifle, I take it at face value that they have a red composite stock. What I don't do is label someone a dumba$$ and think that they likely have anything under the sun other than a red composite stock. If you want the best results, you have to know the correct words. So, I don't buy that "it's just semantics" argument.

You are right on with the one and two trigger configurations for set triggers.
