Title: I'll take: How Much More Junk Does the World Need? for a Thousand Alex
Post by: JDHasty on November 17, 2021, 10:59:11 AM: World premiere: CZ presents the new CZ 600 bolt-action

No more Hornet based calibers and some hokey cockamamie push feed they are trying to fob off as controlled round feed. I have Sakos that 527s are close to in quality and Howa mini actions that do just as well with 223 based cartridges for a lot less money.

The 527 was a gem, this mass production morphydite is just another disposable rifle that would be right at home in IKEA if they ever decide to expand into the outdoor sports market.

Now, if you were to call them fugly, based on the models I've seen pictures of so far, I would totally agree, but, I'm a little biased and the only 527's I think is decent looking is their Varmint model all the others are equally fugly but beauty is in the eye of the beholder so others may find them good looking.

Seems like the trend is toward ugly "Ruger American" style rifles now. First they got rid of the 452, then the 550, now this. They tout the availability of barrels in different chamberings, but I didn't really see that with the 455 in reality, we'll see how this goes...
