    How does the handguard/forend attach to the barrel?

    Great stuff. I love my 6.5 Grendel AR15 upper.

    How do you like the precision in the cz527 build? I was recommended to get myself a rem700 instead. For a 6,5 grendel build...

    I love your work, I'm currently working on something similar for a .223 Howa mini so I can burn my stash of .223
    I am planning to make something very similar to your chassis and like the simplicity of it.

    How does the pistol grip attach?

    I love the micro mauser cz actions. A Rem 700 would need a custom bolt face for a grendel and a sako or ar15 extractor fitted. There's no mag that would feed the grendel case in the Rem 700 unless you modded a howa 7.62x39 follower to fit. Could be done but its a lot of pissing about.

    Thanks.
    The grip is a FAB arms AK47 grip, it just bolts on like an AR15 grip with a 6mm cap screw from inside the grip

    Yes. The thing is that my gunsmith recommended that i get myself a rem700 instead. Something about the action is more sturdy. How would you say that the precision is on your build? Was thinking about the same caliber and about 48cm barrel.

    No more sturdy than a Howa mini in grendel.
    How would you rate my CZs precision with 1/4 moa 5 shot groups at 100yds?

    Very nice how long distances have you shot?
    And what kind of muzzle velocity are you getting?

    My pet load gives 2450fps with the 123gr Lapua scenars.
    I haven't had the opportunity to stretch its legs much past 200 meters. I tend to grab the 6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5x47 Lapua for the longer shots.

    Finally got to stretch the little Grendels legs and test accuracy on a rock at 500m a couple of weeks ago with @Flyblown.
    Even with a tricky little wind we managed to land 3 rounds each on the same spot.
    Such a fun and accurate little lightweight rifle. I really should use it more.
