CZ 600 Trail in .223 might work for the feedtruck

[Cowcatcher]

I first saw one of these just a few weeks ago and it instantly checked may of the boxes for what I’d like in a feed truck gun. Bolt action, compact, detachable mags. This rifle uses ar style mags so that makes it easy. Reviews on accuracy don’t seem very exciting but decided to see for myself. Went with a 1-8 lpvo to try and stay with the compact theme that attracted me to the rifle. Finally got everything in and mounted up so I gotta go down to my shooting range next to see if I’m sad, happy or just plain satisfied with the accuracy. I’ve usually had a 3-9 or 4-12 scope in the feed truck but many of my shots from the feed truck are close up say under 100yds. So I think the 1x in this scope may come in useful. Scope has a little different reticle than I’ve used but on 1x it looks like our eotech or pistol dots. Pretty much a circle with a dot in the center. I dunno I’ll piddle with it and see if it’s love or hate.

Looks like a nice rig. Can't wait to see how she shoots.

Pretty slick....hope she's a good un.

Ruger American would do much the same for less $$$, but not as compact for storage.

You know I'm anxious to see a review.

Would love to see you use a real scope you have around for a good accuracy test before you fully commit to a 1x, just for knowledge/research sake.

Had a youth model in 22-250 that I carried in feed truck for the last 5 years. Killed many coyotes with it. Only complaint was occasionally the mag got weird and didn’t pop the next round up unless I jarred it. It did ride the center console well. This one should fit even better.

You know what? That’s a very good point. So if it shoots bad I’ll go to a known scope that I’m familiar with. If it shoots good with an unfamiliar scope could we call the rifle a win?

Very cool rifle!

I have a CZ 527 with a full stock in .223. They make a great gun.

Great choice! I think your going to like that circle/dot. It’s the reticle on every one of my red dot scopes. Easy to find that dot for a follow up shot.

I’m excited to hear your long term experience with this rifle, but I do have a legitimate question: for a truck gun, compact and handy in 223 for under 100 yard shots, why not go with an AR? Is it just cause AR’s are boring?
