More choices is never a bad thing. The twist rates are encouraging.
The price of the trail is puzzling, considering its construction.
The 20,000 round service life claim is just silly. Any rifle should do that and much more, assuming barrel replacements.

Nice to know mine just got a lot more valuable. CZ has completely destroyed their rifle line in a decade. Sad, really.

Though it had some sleek features and the bolt seemes definitely slicker than my 550.
Pretty innovative as I see. Well ...innovative....maybe not pretty.

So what is our thoughts on an Aluminum receiver?
I like the switch barrel option.Think I like the new magazine, I like the switch out bolt face. Really like my old CZ 527's especially my re-barreled 6mm ARC. Truth be told Id likely see one of the 600's coming into my stable in years to come. We will see, not like I am in need of anything new. Aluminum seems to be working out in newer BLRs. They don't stay in stock long.

Aluminum receiver raceway done well should be no sweat, ARs have had much more violent cycling for a long time. What I wonder if what the bolt lugs lock into? My Sig Cross has a steel headspaced barrel extension that the lugs lock into like an AR, maybe the 600 has something like that?

Sweet. Boy has been asking for Ruger American Grendel, but at $500 for those I think I'll wait and spend more fore CZ.

I have a Rossler titan that is similar. Switch barrel with aluminum receiver and the bolt lugs lock into the barrel.

Is there a left hand option? Didn't look like it. All the ones I saw are backward.

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

But what I question is CZ's claim of after switching barrels, not being necessary to re-zero the scope. That's what it says on their website. The scope is mounted to the receiver, not to the barrel like a Blaser. I am sure POI will still be close, but not sure how close. RJ

Or just go back to the 550 Bingo. CZ never should have discontinued the 550 American. Morons. I have no interest in yet another CZ push feed.

A while back, I was scolded for posting that the 527s were on the chopping block, based on CZ’s Yurrupean website. Looks like it’s come to pass. At that time they said they were focusing on new markets, or something of the sort. I guess that meant stuff that sells enough to stay in the line. Those beautifully-machined 527s must be spendy to manufacture, just like the 550s. Too bad. Better get ‘em while you can.
Gotta wonder why they still feature a 527 Grendel on the USA homepage.
