COLT(CZ) is getting in to the precision rifle game

Colt Announces A Bolt Action Rifle - The CBX Precision Rifle System! -

In a surprising turn of events, Colt announced the introduction of a bolt-action precision rifle. Since CZ’s acquisition of Colt in 2021, we have wondered in what directions we’d see Colt move and now it seems that Colt will be leveraging some of CZ’s existing expertise in precision bolt action rifle design. The CBX Precision Rifle utilises a bolt design from the CZ 600 series of rifles, pairing it with a new aluminum chassis system developed with MDT which has a 6 o’clock ACRA rail and 3 and 9 o’clock M-LOK slots.

Treglia. The CBX Precision Rifle is available at Colt now at dealers nationwide.
