CZ 600 Trail

About the CZ

CZ firearms or CZ (which stands for Česká zbrojovka) is based in Uhersky Brod, a small town in the southeastern Czech Republic. CZ has its start in 1936 as a subsidiary of CZ Strakonice, which was itself a subsidiary of Zbrojovka Brno. The arms industry was growing quickly in Czechoslovakia at the time, and Uhersky Brod was chosen since it was secluded and lay beyond the range of German bombers, which, in case of an invasion, would target the arms factories first. The factory initially mostly produced pistols and small-caliber rifles; however, when German forces occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, the company was renamed to Böhmische Waffenwerke and was forced to make machine guns, such as LK-30 and MG-17, for the German military.

After the end of World War II, the Soviets gained control of the region and the company was nationalized by the communist government, producing air weapons, machine guns, submachine guns, motorcycle and sewing machine parts. In 1957 the company started production of the Model 58, and in 1961 they introduced the world-famous Model 61 Škorpion machine pistol. The year 1975 marked the release of yet another popular model, the CZ 75 pistol which many manufacturers have since used as basis for their own products.

CZ once again became an independent company in 1992 following the fall of the Soviet Union. In the decades after, they have continued production of a variety of weapons seizing the market of law enforcement and military firearms with service pistols, assault rifles and grenade launchers with which they also helped equip the Czech army. They have strived to widen their presence on the international markets, opening a facility for assembly and repairs of CZ pistols in Peru and spreading production of their firearms (certain models of the CZ-P10 pistol) to the United States in 2019. As of 2021 they employed around 1500 workers.

CZ 600 Trail Rifle Review

CZ 600 is a centerfire bolt-action rifle introduced in 2021 to replace CZ’s entire centerfire line. CZ 600 is a highly modular rifle made so by the interchangeable barrel design where the barrel slides into the receiver and locks into the action with three set screws which makes it easy to remove without the help of a gunsmith. The bolt locks directly into the barrel where there are 3 locking lugs (6 on the magnum action models). The safety is a special vertical plunger design – it consists of a button located at the top tang position which goes up and down through the tang when pushed. Fire mode is activated by pushing the safety down with your thumb and pushing up with your trigger finger activates the safe mode. The feeding system is a controlled-round feed with a short extractor. Loading is possible either through the top of the action or through the magazine. By opening the bolt slowly, the case can be dropped nearby or inside the receiver, whereas opening it quickly can send the case flying away. A single-stage trigger is featured on all models except the CZ 600 Trail which utilizes a two-stage trigger.

CZ 600 Trail comes only in one action size: mini. It features an aluminum receiver and a four-position telescopic stock made of polymer.

This rifle has interchangeable one-piece and two-piece mounts with every rifle that has an integrated Picatinny rail. Because it has a flat top, care has to be taken to select a high enough mount, so that the bell of the scope does not sit on the rail.

Our recommendations for mounts

Fixed mounts

We recommend purchasing these Rusan Picatinny Tactical Rings. These high-quality and sturdy rings are made of aluminum which makes them perfect for the rifle's aluminum receiver.

Detachable repeatable mounts

Here we recommend detachable repeatable INNOmount which are of good quality.

Combined use of a riflescope and a red dot sight

Riflescopes magnify images, allowing the shooter to carefully inspect the target, while a red dot sight quick target acquisition when shooting at short distances.

In this category, there are mounts that allow the use of a riflescope and a red dot sight in a single setup.

Advantages of combined use of two optical devices

The hunter is prepared to take an accurate shot in all possible situations.
At close range, a red dot sight is used, while the riflescope proves useful at long-range distances.
Using a red dot and a riflescope in a single setup is less expensive than purchasing two, 100% repeatable mounting solutions for each optical device.

Most mounts found in this category are either rings or parts of rings with an integrated red dot sight mounting standard. The standard is specified in the mount’s name – mostly, one of the familiar red dot mounting standards is listed such as Docter Sight, Aimpoint Micro, C-more RTS, Shield RMS/SMS, Trijicon RMR.

Some manufacturers, such as Spuhr and Recknagel, provide rings with an interface that is then further paired with an adapter plate.

How to mount a red dot sight on a riflescope

There are two ways of mounting a red dot sight on a scope tube:

on top of the riflescope or
on the side, at a 45° angle.

Red dot mounts on a scope tube

Red dot sight mounted on a 45° angle and on top

Even though the mounting style depends on the user preference, having a red dot sight mounted on top of a riflescope is generally more popular among hunters.

IPSC shooters, for example, generally prefer to have the red dot sight mounted at a 45° angle.

Red dot mounts for a scope tube are almost exclusively made from aluminium.

They are produced by:

Spuhr,
Recknagel,
Henneberger,
Shield, and
many others.
