CZ, a Czech company with a long history of producing bolt-action sporting rifles, introduced a revolutionary design in 2021 with the modular CZ 600. Now for 2025, the company is updating the model with the CZ 600+.

The CZ 600+ is an update to the rifle introduced four years ago.

The major update of the new model is that it delivers on CZ’s original promise of a user-interchangeable barrel system on the 600, with a new and updated barrel/receiver interface design. While the rifles are already on the market, accessory barrels are scheduled to be available by late fall.

The CZ 600+ has a user-interchangeable barrel system.

All other features are the same as the original 600. These include a multi-lug bolt with a 60-degree throw and controlled-round feeding and cold hammer-forged barrels. 

All rifles have CZ’s “Silent, Ergonomic, and Ambidextrous” (SEA) crossbolt safety and a user-adjustable trigger with four pre-set weights. Magazines are a proprietary detachable box that can be also be locked in place so that the rifle can be loaded through the action (except for the Trail model).

All CZ 600s have a user-adjustable trigger with four pre-set weights.

The 600+ is made in three actions sizes: mini, medium and long. They use an aluminum alloy receiver with machined-in Picatinny optics mounting rails or a steel receiver that is drilled and tapped to accept M700 bases, depending on the model. Steel and aluminum parts are given a nitride finish. All rifles have their muzzle threaded.
