CZ600 Rifle range

One of the major announcements at IWA was the much-anticipated launch of CZ’s new range of rifles—there’s one to suit every different kind of shooter is the theory. They certainly look the part, and handle and shoulder well, with that pronounced pistol grip a feature of them all. The five brands are Alpha, Range, Ergo, Trail and Lux. Let the reviewing begin!

Haenel NXT

Billed as ‘the first-ever ethical hunting rifle’, the Haenal NXT is now available in the UK. The new rifle has a lightweight, composite wood stock that has been created from laminated sustainable beech (rather than a slower grown tree species), offering the durability of a synthetic stock but with environ- mentally friendly credentials. The trigger guard and magazine well are formed from tree resin and Haenel has addressed the issue of lead-free by designing a barrel that takes lead-free ammunition. Suitable lead-free ammo from Lapua and Sellier & Bellot (S&B) is also offered by Viking. RRP from £2,095 Viking 01423 780810 (Ext 1) info@vikingarms.com
