 I'm glad that you like your 600.

All I'm saying is the new series isn't the old, and it was the older models that drew me to CZ rifles. I don't see a real reason for replacing the previous models outside of cost-cutting issues. I will miss what was available before.

I do agree that I miss the 527M Carbine quite a bit.  :'(

I had hands on with a Trail  did not get to shoot it but the stock rattled and the cheekpiece was not comfortable at all.I was imagining putting my face to that on a cold November morning and thought that would have a high suck factor.  Trail not for me too much COLT not enough CZ

What do you define as “too much Colt”? Like in Armalite AR-15 feel for mag and safety (although the safety is more Bren)? Colt Mfg was not involved with the design of any of the 600 series rifles. The telescoping stock is pretty much the same in feel as most rifles with a similar design for compactness.

On third thought....no comment. It wouldn't help anyway.

Now that some time has passed, I'd like to ask, How does it shoot?

And by shoot I mean, accuracy from the bench at 100 yards.  Truly sub 3/4 MOA with Factory ammo?  Which ones?

  I agree with the other posters who think the 600 series is a step backwards.   That said, I bought a 600 trail chambered in .223 as it was the only one of the 600 series that appealed to me as it was so handy.   

My first impressions when I opened the box were not good, it looked cheap, and then found ( as you did ) that the stock rattled, not only that but I found the middle setting was best for me but it would unintentionally extend further as it can only be locked to stop it retracting, and not extending.     However I persevered and found a simple and permanent solution consisting of a cable tie fixed to the left arm of the stock. The cable tie not only eliminates the rattle , but it makes it rigid, and stops it extending further than needed.    Now I simply pull the stock back and it automatically goes to the correct position and does not wobble in the slightest.




The thing that I like the best is the adjustable trigger.  I find it better than the trigger on my 527 !   It's wonderful.



It's a 2 stage trigger that is fully adjust able. I have mine set at the lightest setting which I have found to be 2.5 lbs, and I have adjusted the first stage so that there is just a tiny amount of take up before hitting the wall, it then breaks crisp and clean with no noticeable overtravel.
 I understand that the Trail is the only example of the 600 series to have this trigger system

It's as accurate as my AR 15's with the same barrel length and expensive TriggerTech triggers , and uses AR mags.

The lower is made from carbon reinforced polymer, it's very tough.   It's the same material as used on the bren 2, I just wish my Bren 2 had the same stock as the 600 Trail.

I am now pleased to own it, it was a good buy after all. ;D

Sorry to missed this for so long - That's a SIG WHISKEY3 scope and I cannot remember where the rings came from.
