    CZ center fires

    Did they leave the center fire rifle business?

    They have the Bren and the 600 series bolt action. Haven't shot either, but have handled the Bren and it's a sweet setup. Super smooth action. The 600 rifles seem to be liked as well, from what I've read.

    I don't know, but CZ does have a habit of replacing, or discontinuing universally loved and praised products... (Ahem... 452).

    Damn straight. 452 and 550 have been replaced by far inferior versions that do not hold a candle to the great stuff they made just several years ago.

    CZ should drop the ugly Turkish shotguns it stamps its name on and stick to the nice arms it makes rather than dropping them and keeping the crap.

    The little CZ452 mentioned above with an international/Mannlicher stock sells for a steep price in the used market.

    I kick myself for not buying a full stock 550 in 6.5x55 and 9.3x62 when they were available

    I have about 8 CZ rifles but only one is a centerfire, a 527 in 7.62x39 fun little gun. I agree with the above about keeping up with quality rifles and dropping the cheap shotguns.
