A gun for all seasons
CZ HAS launched its new, innovative CZ 600 rifle, a different design of rifle to any CZ that went before. The 600 replaces all current CZ designs and copies some of the characteristics that have become standard on many economy-class bolt-actions on the market, but these rifles have interchangeable barrel systems, bolt head systems and magazine systems.
The CZ 600’s receiver, both short and long, is machined from durable high-grade aluminium alloy or steel. My test gun’s alloy receiver is 23.5cm (9¼”) long and 4.1cm (1⅝”) wide and all receivers have a guaranteed service life of 20,000 rounds.
The CZ 600 is offered with a choice of two different optic-mounting systems. My sample was flat-sided, angled like the Browning A-Bolt and had a short, integral Picatinny-spec rail atop the receiver ring and bridge. Alternatively, some 600s have the receiver drilled and tapped to take Remington 700 scope bases.
There’s an ejection port in the right side of the action that’s large enough to allow a cartridge to be thumbed into the magazine by hand.
The Model 600 has a dual-column
