CZ 600 rifles are available in 9 different calibers. Luckily enough there are not 9 different magazines, but still quite a few. In this article we make clear which magazines can be used for what which calibers.
CZ 600 models
There are five models of the CZ 600 series:
- Alpha,
- Ergo,
- Lux,
- Range, and
- Trail.
These models however have interchangeable magazines – you can use the same magazine in CZ 600 Alpha as in CZ 600 Lux.
The difference for magazines is in calibers.
Calibers
There are 9 different calibers for CZ 600 rifles and based on the caliber your rifle uses you will be searching for the matching magazine.
Luckily there are not 9 different magazines for each specific caliber, but only 4 different magazines.
Exception: CZ 600 Trail
The exception to other magazines is CZ 600 Trail model. This rifle comes in two calibers only (7.62×39 and 223 Rem), which corresponds to the CZ Bren 2 available calibers.
For that reason CZ 600 Trail was built to house the same magazines as CZ Bren 2. For this rifle you thus have more possibilities as CZ Bren 2 mags are available in 10rnd capacity as well as in 30rnd capacity – in both calibers.
CZ 600 magazines
