Colt CBX Precision Rifle

[dh1633pm]

I can't believe that nobody has seemed to post about this new rifle from Colt? Or is it just a Colt Branded CZ600? There are plenty of press releases about it, but I couldn't find anyone who has touched one. I know it's probably not close to its release date, I did think that they would have gotten one into the hands of a reviewer.

Here's what the NRA just posted about it this week including some video. Probably a pre-SHOT Show preview.

The CBX receiver sure looks like a CZ 600!

Looks like a Savage BA110 Stealth to me or a straight rip off of one

I'm guessing Colt outsourced the chassis from MDT.

CZ now owns Colt, and all it's trademarks. Seems entirely logical to brand some CZ products with the Colt logo. If only to better sell them in whatever remains of the Colt dealer network.

I'd be willing to wager CZ intended to sell some portion of their products under the Colt name and that being a consequence of buying the company.

Now I was thinking that they would more likely offer Dimarco AR pattern rifles, first, what with the Canadian domestic market's door being slammed shut. (Dimarco, aka "Colt Canada," has a number of large international military contracts.)

I'd gladly buy a Colt branded CZ.

And I could use a bolt action rifle. I have an extra scope that needs a home.

Looks like a slightly reworked CZ 600. Here is the back of my 600 Alpha in .308 in a similar "pose".


This is what it did for me at 100 yards yesterday with bipod, on the bench. SIG WHISKEY 3 scope, 3-9x50mm. Limb Saver true Track bipod.

For most internet shooters, this is probably horrific, but for me I think it's a good start. It has been a LOOONG time since I tried any "precision" work with a bolt action rifle and good glass.
