CZ Introduces The New CZ 600 Bolt Action Rifle Series -The Firearm Blog

Radical generation upgrade is what Ceska Zbrojovka calls their new CZ 600 series of bolt action rifles that has just been introduced. The CZ 600 rifles are packed with a lot of new and innovative features and will apparently replace both CZ 527 and CZ 557 becoming the only centerfire bolt action rifle line in the company’s catalog.

Ceska Zbrojovka @ TFB:

CZ 600 series rifles are offered in a wide variety of caliber options, from .223 Rem to .300 Win Mag. These rifles come in three action lengths: Mini (for intermediate cartridges like .223 Remington), Medium (for short action cartridges like .308 Winchester) and Long (for long action cartridges like .30-06 Springfield). The receivers are made of either nitrided steel with Remington 700 scope base attachment provisions or anodized Duralumin with integrated Picatinny rails. The controlled round feed bolts feature cocking indicators, 60-degree throw and one (Mini action) or two (Medium and Long actions) rows of three locking lugs that lock into the recesses in the barrels. The barrels are removable allowing to change the caliber. All CZ 600 rifle barrels are cold hammer forged, nitrided and threaded.

The single-stage triggers of CZ 600 rifles are adjustable and can be set to one of the four weight options that range from 1.3 to 3 lbs. The adjustments are done using an Allen key, without removing the barreled action from the stock. The safety is a button that is pushed down from the rear receiver tang to disengage and up from behind the trigger guard to engage. When the rifle is on safe, the bolt is locked, however, the action can be opened by pressing the bolt release lever. The 600 series rifles are fed from proprietary double-stack detachable box magazines of three to five round capacity, depending on the cartridge. One model in the 600 series (Trail) has slightly different features, particularly, double-stage trigger, BREN style safety selector and it’s fed from AR-15 or CZ BREN2 7.62×39 magazines.

CZ 600 series of bolt action rifles currently includes five models: Alpha, Range, Trail, Lux and Ergo. The different models come with different stock styles and materials as well as barrel profile and length options.

Optics are easily mounted on the integrated Picatinny rail on the durable aluminum receiver. The CZ 600 ALPHA is factory tested and guaranteed sub-MOA at 100 meters (three-shot groups with match-grade factory ammunition). Easy maintenance makes this model particularly well suited for those who use their rifle on a daily basis and deeply value durability and reliability, regardless of inclement weather.

The CZ 600 RANGE is a versatile target and hunting rifle for highly precise shooting at medium to long distances. It comes with a guaranteed, factory-tested accuracy of sub-0.75 MOA at 100 meters (five-shot groups when using match-grade factory ammunition). A heavy, CZ cold hammer forged barrel ensures it meets its accuracy requirements and features a muzzle with standardized threading for easy mounting of accessories. A solid laminated wood stock contributes to comfort and precise shot placement, with the buttstock ensuring stability and reliability when shooting with support. A tool-free, adjustable comb allows the stock to be fine-tuned to each shooter’s needs. A rail under the toe allows a monopod to be easily attached for stable elevation adjustments. The pistol grip is designed for right-handed shooters and provides comfortable thumb and hand support during extended range sessions. The stock is equipped with double-sided QD sockets for installation of quick disconnect sling swivels.

This model features a nitrided steel receiver drilled and tapped to accommodate Remington 700 style bases and mounts. The aluminum bolt knob is color matched to the stock.
