I am looking to either pick up or build a CRF 7x57 mm rifle. The lightly used CZ 550 in 7x57 in a local gun shop sold while I was deployed on my last trip for $450! I kick myself for not sending the wife to pick it up. The rifle I’m looking for will be used for hunting and am not looking for a safe queen. In your opinion do I continue to look for a used production rifle or purchase a surplus rifle action and do a budget build. By budget I’m looking $800 or below. If so what action do you recommend? I do own a CZ 550 in .243 (detachable magazine fed) that has only been shot a dozen times I would be willing to re-chamber if that makes sense. I appreciate the advice.
