The CZ-USA 600 Plus Lux is a walnut-stocked bolt-action .30-06 Springfield built for stalking and driven hunting in the European style. It has an MSRP of $1,199. CZ guarantees it to shoot sub-MOA three-shot groups at 100 yards with match-grade factory ammunition and states that every rifle is tested for that during production.

It comes sighted, with a fiber optic rod at the front and a fully adjustable fiber optic rear, and both sights lift off. The steel receiver carries a Remington 700 style mounting interface, so common bases and rails fit without an adapter. The muzzle is threaded M15x1 for a suppressor or a compensator. The trigger is single stage and sets to any of four pull weights, with 1.4 lbs the weight CZ quotes for this rifle. The magazine holds five rounds, and a magazine lock turns the rifle into a fixed-magazine gun loaded from the top.

If you're cross-shopping, the Winchester Model 70 Featherweight has an MSRP of $1,369.99 and also holds five, but it weighs 7.00 lbs against the CZ's 8.15 lbs and comes with neither sights nor a muzzle thread. The Ruger M77 Hawkeye Hunter has an MSRP of $1,499, is stainless at 7.40 lbs and arrives with a sloped rail and a threaded muzzle, though it holds four rounds and its receiver is cut for Ruger mounts. CZ recalled the earlier CZ 600 rifles and told owners to stop using them, and the 600 PLUS series replaced them, so this rifle is the post-recall design.
