Its unparalleled accuracy is at the core of the 600 AMERICAN, achieved through a cold hammer-forged medium contour suppressor-ready barrel. Boasting a 24-inch barrel for enhanced ballistic performance, with 20-inch barrel models available in .308 Win or .243 Win for those desiring a more compact option. The rifle’s MOA accuracy guarantee adds to its appeal, ensuring precision for hunters in various scenarios.

Elevating rifle ergonomics, the 60-degree bolt throw is a standout feature in the 600 series. This design enhances clearance between the bolt and optic, allowing for quicker cycles compared to traditional models. Big game hunters will appreciate the smooth, fast-handling 60-degree bolt throw, facilitating efficient follow-up shots.

Additionally, the rifle features a single-stage user-adjustable trigger so that hunters can easily the trigger pull to the conditions and personal preferences. Eliminating the need for a gunsmith, shooters can select from four trigger weights and customize trigger pull according to conditions and personal preferences.

Reliability was a vital consideration in the 600 Series’ rifle design. CZ selected the controlled round feed for its cartridge-cycling consistency so that a hunter can count on their rifle during the excitement of the hunt. A patented 2-position tang safety is virtually silent and won’t alert game animals.

The rifle’s magazine combines the best of both worlds – a detachable design for quick reloads and a selectable locking feature for magazine retention. Magazine top-ups through the ejection port provide added convenience when an extra shot is needed, instilling confidence in the field.

CZ chambers the 600 AMERICAN in seven tried-and-true hunting cartridges for taking any North American big game, including .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, 30-06 Springfield and .300 Winchester Magnum.

The CZ 600 AMERICAN incorporates the CZ’s high accuracy, reliability, durability and versatility standards and includes many modern upgrades. It will become a favorite rifle in deer camps and hunting lodges across America and worldwide.

The NEW CZ 600 AMERICAN is covered by the CZ Transferable Limited Lifetime Warranty.

The CZ 600 TRAIL Rifle Now Chambered in .300 AAC

Kansas City, Kansas – February 2024– Fortune favors the prepared, so when looking for a versatile rifle and cartridge combination, look no further than the CZ 600 TRAIL, now chambered in the .300 AAC. The lightweight bolt-action rifle packs AR-style familiarity into its compact design. CZ initially offered the Trail in the popular .223 Rem and 7.62×39 cartridges, and it quickly became the go-to gun for adventure-seekers needing portable firepower. While these rounds are excellent choices, CZ saw the need for a subsonic cartridge capable of both hunting big game and for personal defense. The hard-hitting and quiet .300 AAC filled that role perfectly — a deadly combination when used with a suppressor and subsonic ammunition.

The 600 TRAIL is an ideal platform for the .300 AAC. Its 16.2 inch medium contour barrel, lightweight aluminum receiver and advanced polymer for the chassis saved weight while maintaining accuracy. The Trail tips the scales at a mere 6.1 pounds. The rifle is compact, too. An adjustable PDW stock tailors the length of pull from 5.8 to 13.7 inches. In the fully collapsed position, the Trail is only 27.2 inches long. Perfect for the backpack.

The Trail includes features and controls similar to AR platforms, including a pistol grip (with interchangeable backstraps), an ambidextrous fire-selector safety, and a mag release. The .300 AAC uses standard .223 Rem AR-15 magazines.

Shooters will also love the rifle’s smooth and fast-handling 60-degree bolt throw, which increases clearance between the bolt and optic. The Trail features an oversized honey dipper bolt knob for improved control in all conditions, even with gloved hands.

Customizing the Trail is possible in several ways. An easily adjustable single-stage trigger sets the desired trigger pull weight. The Trail includes a full-length Picatinny rail for mounting optics and other accessories and an aluminum forend with an M-LOCK interface that fits an array of aftermarket extras.

The innovative CZ 600 TRAIL is an adventure-ready rifle for the outdoors. The Trail’s compact footprint and inherent accuracy make it fast handling in close quarters and exceptionally capable at longer ranges. The CZ 600 TRAIL is the ultimate rifle for the shooter on the move. And now, in .300 AAC, it is an ultra-quiet option for everything. Be prepared; choose the CZ 600 TRAIL.
