Well, I missed them all at that price. Good, I didn't need another impulse purchase
CZ600 Closeouts

I have absolutely no firsthand knowledge but the 600 has the bolt recesses machined into the back of the barrel similar to an AR15 or a Sig cross, so that is not possible. If the barrel were to slide forward it would not affect headspace, but perhaps it could cause some other issue. I watched this video this morning showing the barrel change. There is a notch and pin like an AR15 to prevent the barrel from rotating, but I can't see anything preventing the barrel from sliding forward other than friction from the clamp bolts. If the barrel side forward more than a few millimeters you just wouldn't be able to get the bolt far enough forward to turn into battery.

I guess one thing that could happen is that if the barrel slid WAY forward the bolt could close before even going into the receiver extension and you would get an out of battery discharge. This seams like it would be extremely unlikely to happen in actual practice unless someone was being a complete moron and not paying attention since the barrel would have to be like 3/4" forward for that to even be possible since if it was between like 1/8" and 3/4" the bolt wouldn't close and it probably wouldn't feed rounds from the magazine either.

Thinking on it, if someone tried installing the barrel on a closed bolt, instead of an open bolt, it might be the root of the issue.I have absolutely no firsthand knowledge but the 600 has the bolt recesses machined into the back of the barrel similar to an AR15 or a Sig cross, so that is not possible.

I watched a video just today where a representative of CZ states that the barrels can be swapped but only by a qualified gunsmith, otherwise the warrantee will not be valid. The video is on youtube.

I was going to order a 223, but they are sold out.
Tell us how you really feel.

All synthetic stocks 
. I have occasionally considered selling my CZ 527 .223 that I got for a song and so glad I didn't. Sorry not much help for the OP, just had to voice disappointment versus the wood 550's and mannlichers CZ used to tempt me with.

I really like my CZ527 in 7.62x39. I don’t mind plastic stacks to a certain degree. Some are not too solid and others are just plain funny looking.

Nothing wrong with a synthetic stock on a working rifle, what's worse is messing up a fine wood stock in the field not like wood stocks are a dime a dozen like the old days.

I really like mine to but wish I would have grabbed a few actions when cz was selling them, they were about $400 bucks which seemed a bit crazy since you could have a whole new cz527 for about $100 more then. I regret not buying a few factory stocks when cz had them on there site, remember when the fs were discontinued they had stocks for a little over $100.

My days of buying wood stocked rifles are over. I love them but I have enough walnut and blued steel to take care of.

Since you asked, the stock is too long, the barrel is too short which both contribute to the rifle being out of ballance. The action is a push feed which while it can be very accurate it also can have a weak extraction system. Oh yeah and the black plastic stock is just plain ugly. Just one old hunters opinion.Tell us how you really feel.

There are 4 different barrel lengths shown, so which one is too short? The long forend helps with stability on a bipod. It is not push feed, it is controlled round feed with a claw extractor and fixed ejector. The stock is ugly as sin so no arguments on that point.
Looks accurate enough to qualify as a CZ.The caliber conversions went bye bye some time ago. I have a CZ 600 Alpha in .308, good rifle. Light, accurate, handy, not a match rifle, but more than enough to put meat on the table if I ever get out hunting. I do agree closing out the 550 and especially the 527 line was a mistake.
FYI, someone over at the CZ forum was hoping to hear your accuracy results: https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=119834.30

Well, I was positive I posted those somewhere over there, but I posted several pics in the quoted thread right now.

I guess they're not "close-outs" cause Optics Planet is listing them again with the $100 rebate, but the price bounced back up to $671.99:
www.eurooptic.com
I called them last week to verify we were all set with my FFL info and they said mine (.308) should ship in about 10 days as they're expecting a shipment in.

Hope mine is in the same batch. I'll be pretty peeved if I don't get it in time for the mail in rebate.

That was/is my concern...
I figure once we hit DEC IF the rifle hasn't shown up I'll contact someone at Euro or CZ and find a solution. The extra $100 clinched it as far as I'm concerned. I still don't really have a need for this one other than it was a good deal.

Yeah same here, I really don't need it but it was a good enough deal I couldn't pass it up.

Would have been interested in a .300 Win Mag or .300 PRC but not any of the ones listed. I've got a LOT of ground covered sub-.30-06 but I'd like something a little more powerful (just for the heck of it).

I do totally agree with your comment, something very similar to the 452 series in 22 cal.

Check your account..
I just checked their site and they showed the 600s in .308 in stock..
So I checked my account and it show's shipped today, with a tracking number. Of course the tracking show's "label created", but we're making progress..
