I found a 527 American in a local shop today. Its 22 Hornet with a 3-9x50 Leupold Rifleman scope. Very nice shape and looks like it hadn't seen a lot of usage. My question is it has a orangeish looking laminate stock on it. Looks factory but I can't confirm it. I even called CZ and they say it isn't factory to his knowledge, but he couldn't say for sure. Like maybe, maybe not. Really not much of an answer to me. I didn't think to look at the recoil pad to see if it might have been after market. They want $800 out the door and I think I might talk them down a bit more when I start laying cash on the table. The price doesn't bother me as much as the stock question???? Could it be a special run or something of that nature??
