The barrelled action Looks like it’s going to be an awesome bit of gear… wish they followed on from the 457 with a push to fire safety rather than the weird button. Also… walnut MTR or OEM manners stocks would have been much better than anything currently offered. None of the factory options look compelling… Aftermarket support is going to be the make or break on this… hopefully MDT, manners, and Boyd’s will be coming to the table on this one. Criticism aside, I’m still a CZ fan and will be giving it a go.
agreed. seems like a great value but is a little too much function over form. Function is most important, but form (i.e. different stock options) is an easy fix.
For the most part it's easy to tell the rifles apart if you take a little time to educate yourself. But these new rifles do stand out I ended up buying one
I'd love an option with iron sights, bought there 527 7.62x39 before it was discontinued ($$) and I realized I love polymer stocks in a working rifle. Why am I so fickle ;)
@@terryleblanc6868 They already have! I just sold the Grendel and 223 at massive gains. Keeping the x39 indefinitely. Soon I'll start unloading my 550s, keeping the 6.5x55 FS.
@@Visiblyblue the sako design is ok but it's not really CRF. It's more like the "controlled round push feed" thing that winchester did with their model 70 for a while. Besides, the biggest advantages to the mauser design are actually in extraction and ejection. Oh, and gas handling which no one seems to think about anymore.
Another crap from CZ... When they changed the bolt in the 527 model to the 550, it began to jam, when they replaced it with a Remington bolt in the 557 model, it began to fall apart after two packs of cartridges (the ejector pin was cut off), When they screwed the picatinny rail over the original mount for optics in the 557-RENGER - it began to fall off along with the optics right on the hunt, when they changed the fuse in the 600 - everyone stopped using it and spontaneous shots began... The further into the forest, the more firewood... - NOW CZ is recalling its “modular” carbines of the 600 series due to the fact that their barrels are falling off!!! And now the user does not have the opportunity to change the caliber HIMSELF, but must necessarily send the carbine to an AUTHORIZED CZ repair service by mail... :-((( CZ - Aw!!! - maybe enough experiments??? Let's go back to the good old Mauser?
The alpha is just plastic ugly. But hey thats just my opinion. If they used the same strategy as the 455/457. Lots of stocks to choose from (lots of opinions out there). And barrels in normal or varmint thickness . Then they keep releaseing new stocks and chamerings, so when you Read or hear CZ you want to check it out, because it just might be the One you didnt know, that you just have to own.
I personally like the alpha but I’m also kind of rough on my rifles and really don’t want to beat up a really nice walnut stock. The plastic ones I don’t care to beat up on. And I think it’ll feel nice as far as ergonomics go. Once I can get one in my hands I will know for sure.
Theses first two videos are pure nonsense! Will you offer a controlled round feed? What are the calibers? Do you have African dangerous game calibers? Tell Mr mustache that he needs to give specifics not generalities!

I want the Alpha with irons and/or the Trail in .308.
I would like that Trail model in 7.62x39 with a 6.5 Grendel extra barrel.
For the most part it's easy to tell the rifles apart if you take a little time to educate yourself. But these new rifles do stand out I ended up buying one
I will get this just for the interchangeable barrel system. Could not find a smith to create one on a 550.
Didn't these get recalled? I can't find one in 224 anywhere
I’ve been looking since this hit the market and still can’t find a 224
“Tire tread” on that Alpha looks like it’s bubbled and loose fitting…. I think CZ could do better. Tested tough?!…. At a vineyard?
I laughed. Pinkies up!
@James Cross that’s great!

Are they gonna make the lux available in 7.62x39
This is what i need!!!! Fixed mag, 7.62x39, wood stock
Its not availale in 7.62x39 yet. Maybe in the future
No more 527 cost cutting at its finest. I am truly disappointed . Race to the bottom guys way to go.
Isn't this rifle a controlled round feed with essentially sako extractors? What's wrong with that?
I'm most disappointed I didn't purchase more of the 527.. many will be looking for them on the used markets ..their value will increase now

@@janzadam ah, that makes sense. Thx for explaining that
I don't expect a wooden ball on bolt to last ..depressing
Eh?
A lot of talk about "mix and match". How about a demonstration?
I want to mix and match my hammer coach with a classic barrel!

@@T_Shane I try to uppgrade the stocks. But I keep the plastic original exactly for those purposes. They have their place.

Yes 20 seconds of info looped back over 2x6min. horrible! XD. Hope the rifles are of better production quality.
Nothing common with Mauser.
grapes ummmm
