Which one for a .223 AI.

[Scotts556]

SO I am wanting to build a .223 AI. I have a cz 527 in .223 already, and a MCM Mchale Stock for a SA howa 1500. For the CZ Boyds lists that you can get the tacticool stock from them for the 527. But IT has VERY Limited and not so great scope mounting options nor stock or aftermarket options. OR should I get a Howa 1500 With better stock, scope mounting and aftermarket options and go from there?

Get the howa. You'd be limiting the ai with 80-90gr bullets in the 527 with the shorter c.o.a.l. Youll have alot more options with the howa from bases, rings, magazines, bottom metal. And you already have a kickass stock for it.

Howa for sure, make sure you get a new one with the two stage trigger or a vanguard S2. Add a CDI bottom metal, some AI mags and you're done.

CZ 527 is a much weaker action than the Howa.
Look at the lugs bearing surface and size.
I'd definitely go non CZ for high pressure wildcat.
