CZ 600 Alpha (Long)

About the CZ

CZ firearms or CZ (which stands for Česká zbrojovka) is based in Uhersky Brod, a small town in the southeastern Czech Republic. CZ has its start in 1936 as a subsidiary of CZ Strakonice, which was itself a subsidiary of Zbrojovka Brno. The arms industry was growing quickly in Czechoslovakia at the time, and Uhersky Brod was chosen since it was secluded and lay beyond the range of German bombers, which, in case of an invasion, would target the arms factories first. The factory initially mostly produced pistols and small-caliber rifles; however, when German forces occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, the company was renamed to Böhmische Waffenwerke and was forced to make machine guns, such as LK-30 and MG-17, for the German military.

After the end of World War II, the Soviets gained control of the region and the company was nationalized by the communist government, producing air weapons, machine guns, submachine guns, motorcycle and sewing machine parts. In 1957 the company started production of the Model 58, and in 1961 they introduced the world-famous Model 61 Škorpion machine pistol. The year 1975 marked the release of yet another popular model, the CZ 75 pistol which many manufacturers have since used as basis for their own products.

CZ once again became an independent company in 1992 following the fall of the Soviet Union. In the decades after, they have continued production of a variety of weapons seizing the market of law enforcement and military firearms with service pistols, assault rifles and grenade launchers with which they also helped equip the Czech army. They have strived to widen their presence on the international markets, opening a facility for assembly and repairs of CZ pistols in Peru and spreading production of their firearms (certain models of the CZ-P10 pistol) to the United States in 2019. As of 2021 they employed around 1500 workers.

CZ 600 Alpha (Long) Rifle Review

CZ 600 is a centerfire bolt-action rifle introduced in 2021 to replace CZ’s entire centerfire line. CZ 600 is a highly modular rifle made so by the interchangeable barrel design where the barrel slides into the receiver and locks into the action with three set screws which makes it easy to remove without the help of a gunsmith. The bolt locks directly into the barrel where there are 3 locking lugs (6 on the magnum action models). The safety is a special vertical plunger design – it consists of a button located at the top tang position which goes up and down through the tang when pushed. Fire mode is activated by pushing the safety down with your thumb and pushing up with your trigger finger activates the safe mode. The feeding system is a controlled-round feed with a short extractor. Loading is possible either through the top of the action or through the magazine. By opening the bolt slowly, the case can be dropped nearby or inside the receiver, whereas opening it quickly can send the case flying away. A single-stage trigger is featured on all variants (except the CZ 600 Trail).

CZ 600 Alpha comes in three action lengths: mini, medium and long. It features an aluminum receiver and a polymer stock.

Which rifles have interchangeable mounts

Two-piece mounts

This rifle has two-piece mounts interchangeable with every rifle that has an integrated Picatinny rail.

One-piece mounts

Information not yet available because the action lengths are not known at the moment.

Our recommendations for mounts

Fixed mounts

We recommend these Picatinny fixed rings from Tier-One. They are relatively affordable and made of aluminum, same as the rifle's receiver.

Detachable repeatable mounts

We recommend this EAW QD roll-off mount since it offers great reliability and is made of the same material as the rifle's receiver - aluminum.

Help us build our riflescope mounts database

If you happen to own this or any other rifle, we would appreciate it if you could help us expand our database by sending us some photos of the rifle receiver (the bare mounting surface of the rifle without the mounts installed). For your help, our company offers a fair return in terms of practical rewards.

General features of Mono-block Scope Mounts

All of the mono-block scope mounts have in common that both scope rings are made of one piece of material. Making a whole mount of one piece of raw material is usually possible by milling. These mounts are normally made for tactical applications, because they can be used in the toughest conditions. They are normally made out of one piece of hiqh quality aluminium alloy (like 7075T6), because steel might be too heavy for such applications. Steel is normally used only with the screws or claws that hold scope mount onto the Picatinny rail. However, there are some manufacturers which make nice mono-block mounts for hunting applications also (Spuhr, ERA-TAC Ultralight, etc.).

This type of mounts is suitable for use on Picatinny rails. Although, there are other rail standards that are known as common practice: 11 mm (AI), 16.5 mm (Tikka, Sako TRG), 19 mm (CZ 550)... They can be quick detachable or fixed (however, most of them are fixed).

Mono-block mounts for tactical rifles

Mono-block mounts for tactical rifles might be nearly perfect to use and main reasons for that can be found in:

  • rigidness,

  • hardness,

  • durability,

  • reliability and

  • precision.

They offer perfect ring alignment which is the key to not damaging or flexing your scope. Large contact surface between the scope and the mount might also be a favourable factor. Lapping during the process of mounting the scope is not needed. In addition, bedding is also not needed. All of the text above is true if we are talking about mounts of proper quality.

On the other hand, you have to be prepared for a (usually) bulky appearance and less adjustable length for proper eye relief.

 

Other Features of Mono-block Scope Mounts

Tactical mono-block scope mounts, made of high quality, normally have more than just one recoil stopper.

Some of the manufacturers (like Spuhr) advise their customers to oil surfaces between their mount and Picatinny rail before the mounting of them. They also advise to use resin between rings and rifle scope.

A lot of mono-block mounts offer additional attachment points on their rings. These attachment points are normally used for red-dots, lasers, rangefinders, angle indicators, etc. Bubble levels are also common on these mounts (on the rear side of the mount – Tier One, Spuhr,...). These bubble levels are aligned with the Picatinny rail under them.

Practically all of tactical mono-block mounts use 6 – 8 screws for tightening the scope. It is very rare for such mounts to use only 4 screws. With tactical mounts, rings are normally divided 50:50 (upper and lower part of the ring, tightened with screws), which is different than with other, for example hunting mounts, where rings are divided in different ratio – for example 60:40 (upper / lower part of the ring). In this case, upper part is bigger than the lower part, which in practice means that scope is embraced by the upper part of the ring a little bit more.

Tactical mono-block mounts are the most common mount form with inclination. If mounts are made with inclination, it is usually:

  • 10 MOA,
  • 20 MOA or
  • 30 MOA.

These type of mounts are great for long range shooting, because they offer a whole new possibilities for long range shooters. Majority of the mono-block mounts with inclination, is 20 MOA. However, there are mounts up to 70 MOA on the market (for example: Era-Tac from Recknagel).
