The CZ 600 is a powerful centerfire rifle favored by hunters, woodsmen, and sport shooters alike. Compared to the CZ 457, it features higher energy and range, making it a choice primarily for more experienced marksmen.
What if I want a scope on my CZ 600?
One option for installing a riflescope on the CZ 600 is using mounting
rings for a Picatinny rail. Besides the riflescope, the Picatinny rail also allows for the installation of many other accessories.
In this category, you will find Picatinny rails for the CZ 600 in all its variants.
What are the advantages of Picatinny rings?
Mounting rings for a Picatinny rail are available in many variants, allowing you to choose a custom-tailored solution. The advantages include:
-
various mounting heights
-
option to choose a quick-detach (QD) mechanism
-
various inclinations (MOA)
-
choice between one-piece mounts or two separate rings
-
versatility
Picatinny rail: Yes or no?
Most CZ 600 models do not come with an integrated Picatinny rail from the factory. Fortunately, it can be easily purchased and retrofitted.
When to get a Picatinny rail
If you are currently deciding whether or not to add a Picatinny rail to your rifle, clarify how you plan to use the firearm. A Picatinny rail is best utilized by shooters who:
-
want quick-detach (QD) accessories for fast and convenient optics changes or for moving a riflescope to another firear
-
own multiple firearms and swap optics between them
-
are looking for maximum variability
-
want additional tactical accessories
-
shoot at longer distances and therefore need to address inclination (MOA rails)
-
enjoy the versatility of the mounting system and like upgrading their firearm with various accessories
When considering whether to acquire a Picatinny rail, take the following factors into account:
-
The Picatinny rail increases the height of the riflescope axis above the barrel.
-
A more complex mechanism naturally carries the risk of a joint loosening, potentially resulting in a loss of zero.
-
Higher overall weight of the entire system.
First and foremost, consider whether a Picatinny rail will provide you with a real benefit. If you do not use additional optics or tactical accessories, are not looking for further variability, and simply want to install a riflescope and not worry about it further, dovetail rings might be more suitable for you.
What is a Picatinny rail made of and how to choose one?
Rails for the CZ 600 are manufactured from steel.
Steel rails can handle a tightening torque of 2–2.5 Nm. Their relative disadvantage is higher weight and tighter tolerances—with steel rails, it is sometimes necessary to use a bit more force during installation.
Can I install a Picatinny rail myself?
Yes, you can manage the installation of a Picatinny rail yourself at home. You will need the correct Allen or Torx key and a torque wrench. The task will take you about fifteen minutes.
