The basis of the Grendel’s case is the 7.62x39, which is also the parent case of the ultra-accurate. It is universally recognized as one of the most efficient and thoughtfully designed cartridges in existence. I took a peek at my review sample’s bore with my Hawkeye borescope before putting any rounds through it, and it was smooth and free of extraneous tool marks.Īlexander’s 6.5 Grendel is not just another “neck it down and blow it out” cartridge development. The barrel is hammer-forged and hand-lapped. Well, I am pleased to report that the new Model 527 Grendel has a trim 24-inch-long barrel (actual length is 60cm). I replied that for optimal performance, the barrel should be at least 22 inches in length, and 24 inches would be better. In previous conversations with Zach Hein, CZ-USA’s marketing communications manager, I lobbied pretty hard for the Grendel, and he quizzed me about the cartridge, including the appropriate barrel length for it. I may have had a small part in the addition of this cartridge to CZ’s Model 527 chamberings. The 6.5 Grendel was developed in 2002 by Bill Alexander, who once told me that the little 6.5mm cartridge “was specifically designed for hunting.” Photo by Michael Anschuetz It’s a terrific cartridge that hits way above its weight class and is at home in the game fields. The newest chambering for the Model 527 American is the 6.5 Grendel.
And if you have a lot of 7.62x39 ammo handy, there’s a Model 527 made for it, too. The Model 527 American is chambered for many popular varmint cartridges, including. Handguns, shotguns, and rifles from CZ of all stripes, from plain to fancy, and in all price ranges provide something for just about any shooter, and their inherent quality and value are well known.ĬZ’s centerfire rifle lines cover all the bases, from ground squirrels to elephants, but my favorite CZ bolt gun is the Model 527 American. While most of CZ-USA’s wide variety of firearms are imported from either the Czech Republic or Turkey, the company strives to make firearms specifically tailored for the American market.
