CZ 600 Trail in .223 might work for the feedtruck

[Cowcatcher]

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?

It’s more of a make a shot and lay it back on the console with having another round chambered concern. I have carried an AR but I prefer to carry a gun in the truck not chamber loaded so with a bolt action I have nothing to clear after I take a shot.

That makes perfect sense, and I like the thought process. Keep us in the loop! I’ve been considering one in x39.

Just in case you’re not aware, there is a 100 buck rebate in those rifles.

I would be quite surprised if you experience anything but excellent accuracy. Every CZ I own has been a great shooter.

That is what I would normally expect from CZ but this particular rifle gets beat up on YouTube reviews when it comes to accuracy. Also CZ only gives it a 2moa guarantee. I read one comment that a guy said that he was told by CZ that guarantee was based on factory 7.62x39 ammo not being very accurate that is why they would only give it a 2moa guarantee. Is that made up bs I dunno. Suns out and the temp is decent so today seems like a good day to go shoot it.

I almost bought this rifle in 7.62x39, but I also read and watched videos about accuracy not being great. I went with the x39 Alpha instead. I really wanted to try the trail, put a good scope on it and use good ammo and see if I could prove the reviewers wrong and get around 1" out if it, but was afraid to spend the money to find out.

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.

that looks like a 1-8 variable power

So what’s the verdict on 600 Trail? Accurate?

So what’s the verdict on 600 Trail? Accurate?

Well……I really don’t want to say for sure. I did sight it in but didn’t really give it a good fair chance because of a choice I made. The experience does lead me to believe it will be after I change an error I made. I did zero it at 50yds, shot well at 100yds and then had hits using the reticle at 400yds on my 24” plate. I know that’s not very descriptive but I honestly quit trying to really get good results after the first couple shots. So here’s where I messed up……..I mounted the scope on the rifle with a set of medium rings. I had 3 different ring heights on hand that I went through the motions deciding between. It was perfect with the mediums. Then I had ordered another scope to put on another rifle and thought I could get by with the low rings I had on hand. Well when the scope came in I went to mount it and the lows would not work at all. So since I planned to shoot the next day I pulled the medium rings of the Cz to use on the other setup and put the low rings on the Cz setup because they would work mechanically. Yeah wasn’t a good choice. With the design of the Cz low rings are a no go for sight picture. I had to really cram my cheekbone down on the cheek rest to look through the center of the scope. So at this moment I don’t want to give an opinion pertaining to accuracy until I feel it’s the guns fault. New rings should be here for it tomorrow and hopefully I can give a real opinion on it after this next weekend. It all comes down to trying to make something work that I was pretty sure wouldn’t.

I know that was a long read. Lol
