CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt bolt-action hunting rifle

CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt bolt-action hunting rifle
The new CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt .308 Winchester bolt-action hunting rifle, officially announced on Oct.10, 2024, represents the first entry in a new series of bolt-action rifles – dubbed the CZ 600 Plus – developed in the Czech Republic by Česká Zbrojovka following feedback from many hunters and sport shooters around the globe regarding their successful CZ 600 line of bolt-action rifles; more models in the new CZ 600 Plus series are likely to be launched in the coming months
Meanwhile, the CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt was specifically conceived for driven and battue hunt – one of the most engaging and demanding hunting experiences – and is built around a highly ergonomic, black soft-touch finished polymer Thumbhole stock with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) components and blaze orange inserts on the stock, grip, and handguard, coming issued with a solid set of Trigatti sling swivels.
The CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt is machined out of aluminum and features two Weaver rail segments machined on top; the steel bolt is fluted to keep dirt out of the way, reduce weight and friction, and generally make the action smoother, contributing to the high level of reliability provided by the patented controlled feed system and short extractor.

The action is mated to a 508 mm / 20" long, cold-hammer forged steel barrel that comes factory-issued with a screw-on radial compensator and is covered by CZ's lifetime guarantee. The action and barrel are held together by a proprietary mounting system, making barrels easily replaceable by the user.
In the future, owners of the new CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt may thus be able to shift to different barrel lengths and profiles, possibly including barrels with built-in iron sights, to adapt their rifle to their needs for every hunting trip.
Other features improving the reliability, performance, and safety of the new CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt rifle include a single-stage trigger, externally adjustable by the shooter on four pre-set weight levels with a simple Allen wrench; and a thumb-activated top tang manual safety.
The patented safety design blocks both the bolt and the trigger, but allows the bolt to be cycled by first depressing the side bolt release lever. This allows the CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt rifle to be safely cycled to remove a round from chamber, eg. when unloading and clearing the gun at the end of the hunting day, while keeping the safety on and thus preventing any potential accidental discharge.
Standing at 1038 mm (40.86") in overall length and weighing in at 2,9 kilograms (6.39 lbs) when empty, the new CZ 600+ Ergo Driven Hunt rifle is currently available only in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm), but additional calibers may soon be made available for the platform.
Indeed, the proprietary 10-rounds magazine it feeds from is compatible with four more calibers (more specifically 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and .243 Winchester), and the quick barrel replacement barrel does indeed pave the way for caliber interchangeability.
