Outstanding accuracy at an affordable price, CZ-USA calls its new-for-2021 600 Series the "next generation" of bolt-action rifles.
The series includes four unique models with a variety of stock materials, barrel profiles, action lengths and cartridge combinations. User-friendly options like the adjustable trigger, 60-degree bolt throw, and swapping caliber without a gunsmith by using a conversion kit adds utility.
CZ 600 rifle barrels are cold hammer-forged, providing smoother, more uniform bores than other manufacturing methods. This translates into smaller groups on target downrange. As a result, select 600 Series rifles deliver 1-MOA or better accuracy at 100m. Better yet, CZ engineers tweaked the 600 Range model's design, so that it consistently rings out an impressive 0.75-MOA accuracy using factory match-grade ammunition! All barrels are threaded and suppressor-ready so the end user can add additional accessories.
Most of the CZ 600 line have a user-adjustable, single-stage trigger; the Trail utilizes a two-stage trigger. Users can customize the weight of the trigger pull without removing the chassis from the stock. The customized weight adjustments are selected on a four-position dial with trigger weights ranging from 1.3 to 3 pounds, moving over just ½ pound per click.

Reliability was a vital consideration in the 600 Series' design. CZ selected the controlled round feed design for round-cycling consistency in all situations. A quiet, 2-position safety compliments this action, allowing a locked or cycling bolt with the safety on. In the field, this type of safety prevents unintentional opening. However, by depressing the bolt release you can still operate the bolt while the safety is engaged.
Shooters will love the 60-degree bolt throw, a design that increases clearance between the bolt and optic, allowing for larger scopes. In addition, it cycles considerably faster than traditional designs. All models use an oversized bolt knob for improved control with gloved hands.
