I recently bought a CZ 600 Alpha on sale in 6.5 CM, at KYGunco.com. They had them on sale for $499 with a $100 rebate, free shipping to your local FFL and no credit card fees. I had a Vortex 6.5x20x44mm with BDC reticle I slapped on it, and loaded up 20 rds of a tried and true load of 41grs Varget behind a 95 gr V Max Hornady bullet. First shot at 25 yds was 3/4" left, so I clicked it over and went to 100 yds. First shot was 4" high, and 3 more shots had it zeroed. I shot two 5 shot groups and ran out of light, one was slightly over 1/2" the other in the high .3's. This morning it was cold, but at 10 am, i went out and shot two, 3 shot groups. I am only shooting 3 shot groups, because I am planning on using this as a truck/utv rifle, and will seldom shoot over one or two shots in a row, a hunting rifle. First group was .490, and I shot one shot prematurely, 2nd group was .345. I stopped with a few rounds left in case a coyote shows up on my daily rounds. The rifles trigger broke at #1.60, consistently, out of the box. Before shooting I cleaned the oil and grease out of the bore. The bolt has a short throw, and glides back and forth effortlessly, and comes with a bolt takedown tool. I like the innovative bolt release on the rear right side of the receiver bridge, the pica-tinny rail milled on the top of the receiver. The safety I really like also, as it is a push button at the back of the tang, push it straight down is off, push it up from behind the trigger guard is on. Barrel is threaded for a suppressor or brake, I dont see either one going on it. The ergonomic stock design, a silhouette style helps dampen recoil I feel. You can squeeze the stock up to touch the barrel, but I dont see the barrel touching the stock in any normal hunting/shooting situation. All in all, I feel like you get your moneys worth more than any rifle I have shot in a long time, and I shoot a lot of different rifles mounting scopes and zeroing them for folks. On a average year I shoot between 4000-5000 rounds of center fire ammo, doing this and shooting single shot rifles on a daily basis except for Sunday. Just thought I would share this info, in case any of you might be in the market for one. A final note, this rifle impressed me enought, that I bit the bullet and bought another one in 30-06 just because I currently dont have a rifle in that caliber, and I beleive everyone needs at least on 30-06 in their life. It will be wearing a brake.
