I bought a Range model in 6 creed. I like it. Feed and function is good . 1-7 twist is good. Shoots good. The laminate stock is nice. Trigger is good. The only thing I don’t like is the cut out in the bottom of the stock where it would normally ride on a bag. Never had a stock with this and now I know. Edk

I have seen several CZ600's on the shelf at Red's Trading Post. I think there is one in stock currently.

Since this thread started I found a 600 LUX in .223 Safe to say I am not disappointed in it in the least. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ZuzmNzh.jpg) Is the action "ruff," as cummins cowboy claims to have found?

The 550 series is a pretty tough act to follow. CZ made the same mistake as Winchester did in 1964. It will cost them as it did Winchester. Maybe, but they did it for the same reason Winchester did. The 550 much like the Model 70 was time consuming to manufacture. Both being based off of the 1898 Mauser action. There is a whole mess of machining and hand fitting to make them right. All of that time costs a lot of money. Making the rifle right takes time. Realities of the marketplace. I love the 550s I have 4 of them (6.5x55, 270, 30-06, 375 H&H) but they were starting to get expensive. The real loss at least IMO, was that they stopped making the 550 Safari. Zastava Arms US still makes a 98 style action that is blued with a walnut stock. Time will tell if it takes off among us loonies or not. That might have been true in the 60's, but with modern CNC machines not so much.

The 550 series wasn’t the answer. Those guns are huge and heavy. The actions are clunky and should be for safari cartridges only. They were never going to compete with modern rifles. The truth is how many bolt actions are needed? All new rifles must compete with old ones

a year after its announcement still no rifles on the shelves. a recall that has meant the guns out there have to be sent back. The barrel change ability is eliminated by the recall negating a significant reason to buy one. It reminds me of when Winchester stopped making the model 70 for a while. despite bringing them back they have never gained the market they once had. CZ 527 canceled, so CZ has no bolt actions to sell. With the saturation of the bolt gun market these days. I have to wonder how much money is even out there for CZ to profit by even offering a bolt gun to begin with. I wonder at this rate if they should just say F it and concentrate on handguns I see the shelves are full of bolt guns and there are plenty to be had at the gun shows. Gee, if only if there were gun smiths who could take them bolt guns and change barrels and maybe put on fixed sights or scope mounts to personalize them. I guess this is part of that "no more shop classes in high school" thing Mike Rowe talks about. CZ at one time had a stellar reputation for building great bolt guns. Sad to see it go. kwg

CZ screwed up by getting rid of the 550s. Those are great rifles Totally agree!

I got a 600 223 for a truck gun. It shoots great. There was a recall and I sent it off, got it back in a week or 2. Great factory trigger and accurate. I don't regret buying it.

My action is very smooth. No complaints on the function or shooting at all. Edk

Ruff is relative I guess. Compared to a tikka or a 527 with close to 2000 rounds through it.
