POTD: The CZ600 Trail
Every now and then a firearm pops up that’s a little bit different. The new CZ600 Trail from CZ firearms is such one and it certainly deserves to be the subject of today’s Photo Of The Day. For some reason, it reminds me of the U.S. Survival AR-7. Even though more or less everything is different, they seem quite good to have once you leave civilization. Available in either .223 Rem or 7,62×39, the CZ600 Trail is a bit more potent than a rimfire.
CZ 600 Trail is a compact little fella that can be with you everywhere you go. It is, however, capable of surprising performance.
A compact, bolt-action model with controls similar to those found on modern sporting rifles, the CZ 600 TRAIL delivers high levels of accuracy in a compact package. Long Picatinny rails are integrated on both the top of its aluminum receiver and forend. Additional mounting points include M-LOK® slots on the forend. The AR-15 compatible pistol grip features interchangeable backstraps that are compatible with the CZ P-09 pistol. The four-position telescopic stock features a cheekpiece on the left side. The 223 Rem. caliber model is compatible with AR magazines. The 7.62×39 caliber model is compatible with the original CZ BREN 2 / CZ BREN 2 Ms series fiber-reinforced polymer magazines.

Honestly I love just about everything that CZ makes and this is no exception. If the price matches the value this would be a great option comparable to the Ruger American and a whole host of others. I think its got nice styling, looks to be ergonomic and is purpose driven. Its not a long range precision rig or an AR but definitely fills a niche like a good backpacking, ranch, varmint gun that will be legal in pretty much every state.
The CZ 600 Trail is an inspiration and almost hits the survivalist note. Beyond the magazine, an ideal bolt action carbine along this line would utilize as many existing AR-15 barrels, parts and accessories as possible.
