I've always liked CZ for their more traditional take on rifles, and the occasional modern twist. But this new line... well, they do look interesting (and i like interesting) but not for the same reason i've enjoyed CZ in the past.
I will admit, the 600 Trail looks interesting as a pack rifle, with its telescopic stock and short barrel... not sure how much of that it will be able to keep as it comes into Aus though. I hope it is a lighter thing too.
Any chance of a Mannlicher style stock on the Lux? Now that would be something i'd jump on:D
Also looks like you can switch out barrels on some of them. That could be useful if they can make it work affordably.

I like the look of that collapsible stock, but the 16" barrel makes it 690mm overall, which I don't think will be legal in any state unfortunately. If they offered an 18" option it looks like a nice light compact deer rifle. Although at 2.8kg, it's 250gm heavier than than the 16" Ruger American ranch Rifle.

Any length of firearm is legal. Just requires the correct licence. But yes it would be ridiculous to use this in a handgun competition.

Technically, you are correct, if you include collectors licences, but anybody buying something like this probably wants to actually go shooting with it.
Isn't there a maximum length for handguns in all states as well? There's an area in overall length in between classification as a rifle or a handgun? If law puts minimum rifle length at 750mm, and maximum handgun length at 650mm for example, where does that leave a 690mm firearm?

The new CZ600 - only the Lux appeals - all steel action ............the ones with an alloy action .... why??
Only time will tell if they are successful .........will be looking forward to shooting a few of the new models.
